• Finger Foods for Party/Hen Party

  I am really stuck for ideas for my upcoming 50th birthday party in May. I want something that can be done ahead with the minimum of fuss just prior to serving. Any yummy ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Jane 

  I'm organizing a Hen party for my best friend. Unfortunately we do not have a lot of money for snacks during the evening. Do you have some advise about some nice and tasty, but not expensive, snacks we could make for the night? Thank you! Lieke
