Last post I gave a small sneak peek into my baby boy’s baptism appetizer party and I must say what an awesome day it was! (Thank you Mom, couldn't have done it without you!) So why an appetizer party? Well I was just tired of the same old dishes and wanted to try something FUN! The hardest part about planning the appetizer party was making sure that I selected a variety of foods that would accommodate all the tastes that were in the room. The recipes I ended up picking were everything and anything from burgers to seafood and back to fudge dipped blackberry chocolate brownies! (And yes these were absolutely amazing!) I must point out that you should not be afraid to add your own little bit of creativity to each appetizer, that's what makes it unique and memorable!
So to kick things off it was important to first determine who was going to be invited and then what types of foods and beverages would be on the menu. So to make that easier and a little more organized I created a Party Planning checklist which can be found below for FREE! This list can be used for even simple dinner parties. It’s my recommendation to print a few out in advance and stash them away in a safe place and use them whenever you need them.
With much preparation (help from my mom) and success the final menu for my son's party ended up consisting of the following items – Click on the picture for a link to the wonderful recipe (Remember to make it your own!):
Now that you see the long laundry list of items you need for each appetizer, you can understand why it was so important to have that handy dandy shopping list that I gave to you for free in my last post! My final words of wisdom before you venture out and throw yourself a memory making appetizer party; don’t be afraid to try and try again because not every time you make one will it be perfect, but in the end it really will be one small taste of happiness!
