When thinking over my October expenses I knew that they would have to include an 18th birthday party for my youngest daughter. Saturday was the big day and we had 25 people (including myself & daughter). My gentleman friend was nice enough to open his home (far larger than mine) and purchase a sheet sized ice cream cake for this. As for the menu I decided to do several chip & dip combos and two weekends ago purchased a few favorites from Robert Rothschild Farm:
I paired this spicy dip up with tortilla chips.
This one was paired with cinammon pita chips. The final dip I purchased was this one served with pretzel sticks:Several family members also contributed some dips and chips and I made a huge salad, garlic bread, and an enormous amount of penne with homemade sauce.
Dessert was Halloween themed cupcakes my daughter made and the sheet cake:
\Total cost for food, drink, and paper goods was just under $200. At $8 per person I am satisfied with this amount and it was within budget.
You did very well!
