Whether you are putting together a pre-, post-, or during prom party buffet, you'll find that the task of feeding lots of hungry teenagers seems a little scary. Rather than spending a lot for pizza delivery you can put together your own food with our great menu ideas. Plus, it's cheaper!



The prom can have any number of themes but it's usually something tropical. Try making up plenty of Cuban Sandwiches for the kids to munch on between dance routines.



You can also put together a fruit platter with beautifully cut and sliced fruits for the kids with a sweet tooth. All proms have punch, so throw together a Red Carpet punch for the kids and chaperones to drink. It's a mixture of Ice cubes, 3 ounces sour cherry syrup, a 2 liter of orange soda and orange slices for garnish. This drink is entirely tropical in flavor and suitable for an exotic themed prom or a Hollywood style affair.



Cuban Sandwiches



You'll need the following to make these sandwiches for Prom: 4 individual Cuban bread loaves, 4 tablespoons butter, 1 pound shaved roasted pork, 1 pound shaved smoked ham, 1/2 pound sliced Swiss cheese, 1 cup sliced dill pickles and a waffle iron or two hot pans.



Preheat the pans. Slice bread loaves in half. Spread butter on both sides of each bread loaf. Layer roast pork, ham, Swiss and pickles between each of the sliced bread loaves. Place sandwiches in one hot pan, and place the bottom of the other hot pan on top so that the sandwiches are compressed and cooking on both sides. Cook for 2-3 minutes and serve. This makes 4 whole sandwiches or 8 half sandwiches for your prom guests.

Unique Gifts For Guests

Unique Wedding Gifts for Guests of the Wedding

You will be getting married soon, and as such you are trying to make sure all of the plans are finalized. However, one of the things that you cannot decide on is which unique wedding gifts to choose for your guests. Consequently, what you need are some ideas to help you find unique wedding gift for your guests.

When choosing wedding gifts, cost will probably be the first consideration, and this is driven by both the cost of the items and the number of guests.

To be unique with the wedding gifts that you give your guests, it is important to first pick a theme for the gifts. It does not have to be along the traditional lines of wedding gifts. In fact, the more creative your thinking, the more unique your gifts will be.

For example, what about a beach theme? You can give your wedding guests specialized seashell favors, starfish favors, flip-flop coaster, beach chair place-card holders, and many more beach and sea related wedding gifts.

A popular wedding favor gift is a disposable camera, with the name of the bride and groom, followed by the date of the wedding on them. These are an especially fun wedding favor gift for children, since many children like to take pictures of the bride and groom.

You can also be very creative and unique with candle wedding favors.

When it comes to giving food as a wedding favor gift, a popular choice is chocolate. People generally love chocolate! You can make very beautiful and unique wedding favors from different shaped chocolates. Just a word of advice, do not give only chocolates. It will not be appreciated if your wedding guests include people who have diabetes.

Some couples prefer to offer more practical things as gifts for guests that are still unique. Perhaps the most popular example of a practical wedding gift is a ballpoint pen. Some couples might want to add a personal touch by choosing to include their favorite romantic quote.

You can also make your own wedding favors by purchasing the basic components, such as takeout boxes or organza bags and then adding to them the candles or whatever other unique wedding gifts that you prefer.
