   there is a punch that my family used to make with seven up, lemonade, and sherbert ice cream that is pretty good.

   for snacks I’d say chex mix, cookies, and lots of veggies and dip. for cocktails all you really need is champagne.

   I’m putting a link to a party-planning guide below.

   this is one of my favorite recipes. Get a box of the philo shells and a things of TGI Fridays spinach artichoke dip, heat the dip in the microwave as directed then fill the philo shell and heat in the oven till shells are golden brown, really easy and delicious, 1 box of sheels=1 box of the dip
