I don’t want to do the typical sandwich and snacks.

Anyone have any other ideas that are creative and budget friendly?

Salad bar- greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, etc..

pasta (baked ziti), meatballs (add chopped spinach, breadcrumbs, grated cheese to your chopped meat to stretch (turkey or beef),

Mini carving station- turkey breast (gravy)

Tray of roasted potatoes cut up with onions and herbs-or make a tray of mashed

Dessert- brownies, cookies – sprinkle with something pink

Bagel bar… Different kinds of bagels, different kinds of cream cheese, cheese, deli meat, hard boiled eggs, mimosas and fruit tarts.

I did a cinnamon roll charcuterie board for my daughter’s birthday a couple years ago…small cinnamon rolls. order with no glaze, chocolate chips, nutella, chocolate chips, raisins, vanilla icing, fruit…your imagination is the limit! I also baked club crackers with bacon, brown sugar and cayenne on top. Boiled eggs are goid too…maybe sausage balls. Have fun with it!

Nacho bars have always been a hit.

taco meat, refried beans, nacho cheese sauce in crockpots to keep warm. Then add what ever other toppings you want. Lettuce, tomatoes, olives, sour cream, guacamole, onions, salsa, etc along with chips.

They can make nachos and add what ever they want. Or skip the chips and make a salas.

Anything left, will keep as leftovers for a few days. Meat, beans and cheese sauce will freeze well if need be.

Do a high tea. Finger sandwiches and little cakes, etc. Use the good china and teacups. (Borrow what you might need if you don’t have it) Have flowers on the table and ask the ladies to wear hats. Have fun!
