we are giving a friend a surprise 50th bday party. it will be in october with approx 50 people attending. we have rented a hall, and have a dj. need ideas for menu....thinking about lots of appetizers, but would also set down to a simple meal such as nice type of salad,soup,casserole and rolls...whats your suggestions???
table decoration ideas?..we're thinking fall flowers,candles,xtra small pumpkins,gourds,etc.
traditional cake?...or something different?
there will be a cash bar, but what about punch bowls, with maybe apple cider,lemonade,rasberry ice tea???

| You've already got some great ideas - pumpkins and fall mums make great decorations. Collect real or silk autumn leaves to scatter over tables. Send each guest home with a mini pumkin to commemorate the special day. For your menu choices, I think harvest and comfort foods would be nice: like a beef stew, with field green salad with cranberry vinagrette and thick slices of multi grain bread. For a nice finish, a spiced carrot cake would be perfect, ask your baker to decorate the cake with frosting or marzipan decorations to compliment your decor (autumn leaves, pumpkins and fall-color flowers). OR go really different - a bread pudding with rum sauce maybe? Consider serving a fresh chilled or hot mulled cider with your appetizers and/or dessert. |

well, don't catch her too much off guard. She's not going to want to be having a bad hair day or an unflattering outfit in front of a hall full of people.
And I'd make sure my menu had sugar free drink options. |
