I am trying to plan a small family birthday party for hubs, probably for 20 or less. I don't have a clue as to what I'm doing. His dad used to do them, and he misses having them since his dad passed away. I would like to have crab legs, shrimp, scallops, some type of sausage, maybe some crawfish. I would also like to have potatoes and corn on the cob. I welcome any suggestions. Thanks.
You didn't say when this party is, so I may be late. How about a "New England Style" dinner? A take off of a clam bake? You know - boiled corn on the cob and taters, with steamed seafood? I don't know for sure, but I have seen things that incorporate all of what you want in one pot, and are served on one plate. The only timing may be when to add what to the pot? Good luck.
I do this daily for a living-- plan events. Picking the date and time is always #1. Then invites is #2. The rest should come pretty easy afterward. Write or you will forget something.
Food - Make the things that will last longer the day before so you are not running around trying to do everything one day prior. Seems you have an easy menu-- the only thing that take a ton of time at the corn and the potatoes. The fish items all cook fast.
Make sure you tell your guests to RSVP so you have an idea of the number of attendees. This is one of the most important things. Don't forget beverages, and decorations (if you choose). Like I said, once you set a date, the rest should all fall in order. Good Luck!
