If you are on a food budget, start the party at 8 PM, "a fashionable late hour", as people will eat dinner first and you will need about 1/3 less food. For 150 people, including alcohol, you will be budgeting at least $10 per person for the refreshments. To set the mood, think of it as a "red carpet" or "oscar" party, here are some sites for ideas and supplies: www.partycity.com/category/theme+parties/hollywood+theme+party.do www.shindigz.com/party-supplies/theme-party-supplies/hollywood-party/14826 www.partycheap.com/Hollywood_Party_Theme_s/43.htm You could pick a food theme from a particular movie or movies, which you could be showing from DVD in the "screening room".
Foods on toothpicks and on toast rounds or bruschetta
For generalk discussion on amounts: sparkling wine- Freixnet brut is a good quality inexpensive choice. maybe a chocolate fountain or chocolate dip strawberries jellotinis? Cupcakes that spell out Hollywood? You might find links and ideas here: www.epicurious.com/articlesguides/holidays/oscars/oscars When you settle on a menu, time, party length, write back describing the kitchen you will be using (stoves, fridges, etc) and I will help. |
