I decided to have a mystery host appreciation party for my mystery hosts for my catty show. We're going to draw for host benefits then, as well as some other prizes/fun little gifts. I'm hoping it's more of a "party", where we all mingle, hang out, and have fun...if that makes sense.
I'm kind of stuck on my menu. I'm definitely making one of the bries (have to try both this weekend), but as far as everything else, I'm a bit torn. Here's what I was thinking:
Brie
Chipotle chicken cornbread cups
brownie lollipops (in mini muffin pan)
turtle candies
festive cranberry crunch bark
Maybe a trifle and hot pizza dip (both could replace something above)
It's from 6-8 on a Friday night, so I'm not sure if it's enough food. Ideas??? Anthing I can make early/ahead of time so that I'm not cooking/stressed right before everyone comes? (I still need to feed my DH and DD before they leave the house around 5:45) Any menu ideas/thoughts would me more than appreciated!
Oh, should I make something in the DCB, since it is a host special, plus a high ticket item??
Also, thought it might be fun to play a game or two. Bingo or something. I'm not sure how to incorporate Bingo into a host appreciation party...or how to play it PC style. Regular numbers? Fave products?? Wish list products?? Ideas please???
I think it will turn out to be pretty fun, especially with this group of ladies, but I want it to be super nice, so that when I do it in spring/June (for SAT), they will want to participate...
