way in planning the party and this has given me a good start. Don't hestitate to send me any more brain storm of idea or recipes. How many different thhings do yu tink I should prepare? This is a cocktail party where mixed drinks will be served the entire time. I will use my silver teas service for coffee and spiced tea too. The scenting of the hose is a definate as is candles in every little nook, esp the bathroons. We have a sound system in the house so nice music will be playing over the entire houe. Plus we have dimmer swiches on all our main lighting and they will be dimmed low for a soft mellow feeling. I'll have a fire burning in both fireplaces to!
On the main serving table I am going to use my Irish cut linen cloth and then have a lenox crytal vase that is very large filled with red flowers and lots of fresh greenary and babie breath. I will use my 3 candlelabra sets on each side and then use over single silver candlesticks all sizes all over the table, some of them elevated under on a box under the cloth some low.I'll most likely use 15 candles sprickled all over the table in different heights and spaces. Then I plan on sprinkling rose petal and possible tiny rose buds around after the silver food trays are placed.
With this type of crowd expected I am going to turn our heat down quite a bit so it doesn't get to hot. With the oven on and all those candles and people it will heat up fast. If it would get cool we can always turn up the heat.

Don't forget me! Keep any idea a dn recipes coming this way! I need all the help I can get and you all have given me some wonderful idea! You've got me motivated.
God Bless!
