if you like to plan and make lists---then you likely are a born host or hostess-----
sometimes pick a theme---shop for bargains that may become your theme----
buffet---finger foods---pizza and salad----your special touches will add to everyone's enjoyable time-
I love giving small gifts or goody bags to each guest---or even a big bowl of candy that they can pick through----
if you are not going to use real plates and cups---make sure you have almost double paper or plastic wares than you have people attending----and triple the napkins and flatware!
splurge on little extras such as decorative toothpicks---straws----and cute salad plates and separate dessert plates-
the small appetizers and desserts are still in fashion---so get daring with those dainty cute containers---search places like party city---dollar store---target and big lots for many choices and great prices--
make it a party--make it a memory-
Those parfaits are so cute :)
