*Great idea to have the idea posts, but i think the page is hidden, all the tips, recipes and info for the starlight supper need to be together and highlighted with easy to find links. I think they are not been used because they are not easily seen.*

I am holding a starlight supper for family and friends, as its my birthday i am cooking hot food like Lasagne and steak and potato pie, Roast Potatoes and vegatables in serving dishes
. I have asked a few people to make fancy cup cakes for a centre display, all these can be served buffet style.
I have requested donations for Macmillan insteasd of gifts.
As the food is buffet style it can be prepared in advance giving me time to enjoy the evening with guests.
I will make a seperate picnic supper for my 3 young children who will be upstairs having a movie night then they will be occupied.Good luck to all
