It’s time to celebrate fall and the kids’ return to school!  Why not get the party started with a time-warp, school themed, girl’s night in?

Party Supps:
Netflix a selection of popular tv shows and films from the decade you attended high school.  Create a dinner music playlist comprised of tunes from that era as well.  Have your girls email you some choice high school pics and create a simple slide show via iphoto or picasa.com to watch when they arrive.

Dinner:
Order some vintage speckled Melmac cafeteria trays.  They are gorgeous, inexpensive and easy to find on sites like Ebay and Etsy.  Place a napkin and silverware in the utensil compartment of the lunch tray.  Make Adams Apple cocktails by combining a 1/2 shot Vodka, 1/2 shot Galliano and apple juice into a brightly colored plastic, highball sized cup.  Place in the ‘drink’ compartment of the tray.

For food, think gourmet cafeteria classics.  Make sure to have a vegetable, protein, carb and dessert to place in remaining sections of the tray.  Click on the hyper-links to view our recipe recommendations.
