Gamom3 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Ds will be graduating next month. I had planned on just having a cake. Dh says since we put reception following the ceremony on the invitation, then we need to have food as well. So here are some thoughts I thought: sliced ham rolls broccoli salad potato salad veggies chips and dip cake Mom suggested: meatballs with spaghetti sauce(we will have small children attending!!!!) 3 types of chicken wings veggies cake Only problem with my mom's suggestion is that I would need to keep things warm and we will be gone for about 1 1/2 hours for the ceremony.

Jeanne in MN Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 so much easier, less messy and what you typically find at receptions. Not that one needs to fit into the "norm", but spaghetti at a graduation reception is pretty unusual. But there is hard and fast rule. If you are just having family over and want heartier food-then go with a meal, but if people are coming and going, make it simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFSinIL Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 your menu, hands down. Add in some plain brownies for small kids, maybe a plate of cookies. If your mom wants more hot food - she can fix it and warm it and serve it.... maybe add in a crockpot of baked beans or Italian beef - that can be set-up in the morning and ignored the rest of the day.

Dayle in Guatemala Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Your menu definitely. Maybe a veggie/fruit tray with some dip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
