Black and White Theme Party

Black and White Theme Party - 03/12/06 10:31 AM

Sooooo I'm having a black and white party for my sister's 25th birthday. Everyone invited is going to wear funky black and white outfits (my accessories include a white wig, black boa and B&W striped tights), and the entire party space will be decorated in black and white. (Including my Christmas tree, if I can find black and white ornaments!) My sister, however, is going to wear RED so she'll stand out.

Why am I telling you this? I need advice on "black and white" finger foods.

These are just options I've come up with. I need more choices:
  • Strawberries covered in white and dark chocolate

  • White "New York Style" Potato Salad

  • Blackened Chicken Skewers

  • Garlic Dip with black corn chips

  • Brownies

  • 7-layer Taco Dip (but on top I'll use mozzerella instead of cheddar cheese and add sliced black olives)

  • Garlic-stuffed black olives

  • Meatballs

  • Roast Beef Spirals with horseradish (no vegetables in this recipe so it will be colorless)

ANY MORE IDEAS?!?!? I want a variety instead of just doing different dips.
Thanks in advance. smile

You changed your screen name AGAIN??

OK Mod's, it's time to give her one of those witty little labels under her name - something like "Identity Crisis" or "President of Name of the Week Club" maybe... Someone should be able to come up with something good....

I am free to change it as much as I want, no? I get bored easily. What's wrong with wanting to reinvent myself?! That's why I always change my hair too!

I don't have any ideas off the top of my head, but http://allrecipes.com/ is far and away the best recipe site I've ever found. You can do keyword searches or browse by category. What really makes it a nice site are all the user reviews, so you can easily find actual good recipes. When you read the user comments, it's a good habit to sort by most useful, because often a slight variation on the original recipe is an improvement. Anyway, you may be able to come up with something there.

It sounds like I work for this site, but I really don't. [Wave]

"What's wrong with wanting to reinvent myself?! That's why I always change my hair too!"

I didn't mean to imply there was anything wrong with that. I simply meant that if it's part of "who you are", we should make fun of you for it! wink

After all, isn't that the XOC way?

I find your name changes entertaining - don't change a thing! I mean, don't change that you change it all the time. Crap now I'm all confused.

Something with white bread/dark rye bread. Mini-sandwiches maybe?

Or you could make basic sugar cookies and put chocolate mousse on 'em.

Just serve Guinness and Rootbeer floats as the only drink options. Boring - but matches the theme! smile

Black Sambucca.

I though St. Paulies girls beer was in a white bottle. After doing a search it is green. What beer is in a white bottle? I've had it in the past but must have blacked out.
Get your liked beverage and spray it.

I have a Goth friend...back in a bit...

Soooooo this is what I wore last night. I looked like a big fat TARD! But that's OK because my sister looked so pretty in red and stood out in the crowd! smile

Holy shit, talk about decorating! When I throw a party I just fill a wheelbarrow with ice and beer.
