Answer 12

Im 16 so Im pretty sure I can help :) I had a sweet 16 at my house with just my family and it was catered by a local place. Def. use some chips and dips like salsa and onion dips (found on back of packages) Ive also seen some taco dips and those are my fave so use those too. We had also gotten you know, standard chips and crackers, some shrimp and all that junk food stuff :) As for the main dinner stuff get a big bowl of salad with different dressings. Pasta is always a must, we had penne vodka (my fave) There was also beef and all but I didnt eat it so I dont remember. You can always use potato salad or macaronni salad. try a tray of meat in a sauce, stuffed mushrooms. As for dessert we just had a big cake and my aunt had brought brownies and cookies. Just put some ordinary and daily things together and you got a party!

Answer 13

have a taco bar!  just chop a whole lot of lettuce, tomato, avacado, and have some cheese, ranch etc... and of course taco's, put everything in huge dishes and put the tacos at the start so people can just come along and make their own :)  then do the same thing with sundaes for dessert :)

Answer 17

We had our sweet 16 a month ago at a hall and this is what went over well.  All of this was made the day before the party by the caterer  because we were required to use a caterer with the hall but you can do this yourself as I have made them before.

Taco Dip:

2  packages softened cream cheese.

1 16oz sour cream

1 packet taco seasoning.

Mix with mixer. Put in bottom of a cookie sheet. Top with shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and green onions. Use the cheese but you can altered the rest to your taste, maybe add black olives. Make 2 of these. Serve with tostitos scoops.

Fruit bowl,.

Whole pineppple into chunks. Slice strawberries. Add whole table grapes no seeds, add chunks of watermelon, and cut oranges in slices cut into triangles. This is best made the night before so that the juices can all run together and stir before serving.

Silver dollar rolls:

http://www.heb.com.  Put silver in the search bar to look at a picture.  These are hand sized sandwiches and went over great.  

It is just shaved deli meat  beef, turkey, ham and cheese triangles. You dont have to put lettuce on them, ours did not have it. The ones that we had catered just had real butter on them and they had mayo and mustard packets on ice on the side.

PUPPY CHOW  All kids love this!

6 cups Crispix cereal

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup butter

12 ounce chocolate chips

2 cups powdered sugar

Melt peanut butter, butter and chocolate chips together in the microwave or on the stove. Stir into cereal. Put powdered sugar in a paper sack. Put cereal mixture in and shake until well coated.

Hope this helps you.
