Party for 160 (Wedding Vow Renewal)
Cindi 03/04/17	Hi Ellen! I have been asked to help with a wedding vow renewal party. Football has been a big part of their lives together and they want to have what would make you think of as a SuperBowl Party. They have given me the different dishes they want (and will not budge) and I can't start to figure out how much of each to make. There are so many choices! I have tried and tried to get them to lessen the choices, but they want it all!! Each one of the choices has some significant/sentimental meaning to them.... They want cocktail wieners in bbq sauce, meatballs in marinara sauce, pulled pork sliders, sausage cheese balls, popcorn chicken, a cheese ball shaped like a football, chicken/bacon bites, cheese-steak dip with pretzels, tortilla chips with nacho cheese and salsa, chicken wings, veggie tray and fruit tray....And they will have 6 pizzas delivered. They will have canned soft drinks and bottled water.... Please help!!
