Professional Salad
Menu for surprise 25th wedding anniversary party?
It will be for my parents and their friends and family. Very casual. Semi-small budget. I have a professional caterer on hand if necessary. The party will be approx. 30-45 people and indoors.
A friend suggested some of the following:
cheese ball & crackers, cocktail wienies, chips, pretzels, macaroni salad, potato salad,, meatballs....
It seems a little eclectic, does this all work together??
Oh and I will have a drink fountain, what kind of drink should I put in it?
Put a non-alcoholic non-carbonated punch in the fountain. Carbonated beverages go flat fast in fountains, and if there isn't any alcohol in it, everyone will be able to enjoy it. You can have vodka, rum, and gin on hand as well as juices, if you want a bar. Another fun odea is to have a "float bar". Have a freezer or cooler full of icecream and sherbet, and an assortment of sodas, root beer, and inexpensive sparkling wines (think Arbor Mist and Boone's Farm). Place a scoop or 2 in a cup and add the pop or wine. Yummy!
I think those food options are great together! They're all classic "party foods". It's all in the presentation, though. How about serving the macaroni salad and potato salad in shot glasses or martini glasses?

Maybe include some of their favorite foods as well, or something they ate on their first date, or a food served at their wedding reception.
