^ I agree!Iba pa rin talaga ang classic home style party. 

Sharing what we had during my son's birthday:
For the kids:
chicken lollipops
hotdog and mallows on sticks
french fries
spaghetti
ice cream
cupcakes
fruit punch

For the adults:
steamed rice
spaghetti
mechado
pork BBQ
chicken marsala
russian potato salad
Cakes from cake2go: toblerone overload and nestle crunch cake
Drinks: soda and mixed fruit punch

My Mom prepared all the dishes, except for the pork bbq which we ordered from Amber's and the chicken marsala and russian potato salad which we ordered as party packs from Conti's.
The guests loved all the dishes and we all had fun.

^thanks for sharing sis. next sauturday na yung "handaan" namin. by the way, ask ko lang sana kung pano ginagawa yung hotdogs and mallows sa stick. yung cocktail hotdogs, sa tubig pinakukuluan di ba? then cut lang yung edges para maging crown? tapos marshmallow sa dulo? do you use toothpick na mahaba or regular bbq stick? i feel dumb asking this question pero di kasi ako sure.

[tinkerpot]

^hi sis, sa akin yung party sa bahay ang pinaka masaya tawag sa amin dyan e "handaan"

agree walang time restrictions, free kang gawin kahit na ano.

[leletmd]

^ Ok lang sis, we are all here to help each other out.  What we did was we cut the sides and the edges of the hotdogs then boiled it. If I remember it right, my mom used a long toothpick and placed the hotdog in between 2 mallows.
You can make your own variation of this. You can place cheese cubes, pineapple chunks, or anything that you think your guests would like, along with the hotdogs and mallows.
Good luck on your party!
Hope this helps...

^^if may makakatulong sa iyo sis during the party baka may indoor grill ka (yung sa amin parang hot plate na bilog lang sis) pwede din igrill yung hotdogs on the spot ginawa namin ito day before bagyong ondoy maayos naman kinalabasan pero kaunti lang yung nagsalo2x 26pax lang. Pag madami tao/bisita baka nga lang mangarag pag ganito.

[tinkerpot]

@ leletmd - thank you so much! sige, i'll add cheese din. naku, baka sakin pa lang maubos na yan. ill post pics of the party as soon as im able to. sigurado hit yang hotdog w/ mallows

@ stormy - oo nga, pwede rin grill yung hotdog. siguro sis dagdag ko to as a "food cart". maglalagay kami sa gilid ng grill to be manned by one relative. mag-lagay na lang ako condiments para self-service ang guests.

for a child's bday party (merienda time) ok na ba ang classic spag (or baked mac), chicken lollipop, pork bbq, iced tea, mini cup cakes, ice cream? same food po for adults & kids..ok lang kaya yun?

if ever maga-add ako, ano kaya? nachos? hotdog on stick?

[stormy]

^sarap ng handa mo sis lagyan mo kaya mini sandwiches pero oks din hotdog on stix kaso may bbq ka na.

[bluekaren780]

mas fun kung nasa food cart ang lahat ng ito...

[lilstar]

Wow nakaka-excite naman mga handa nyo.. How much magagastos if ganitong handaan? Kasi kami 3 bdays ng anak namin lagi sa labas ginagawa kasi walang space sa house. Pero I'm considering din house party kasi mas may personal touch.. heheh.. Sa april pa naman bday ng anak namin pero maganda na din pag handaan ng maaga.. 10k kaya ok na sa house party?

[bluekaren780]

depende sis sa kung ilan ang expected guests mo...

[lilstar]

oo nga no.. well, ang prob pag sa house di macontol bisita.., kahit di mo iinvite aatend.. LOL..

[bluekaren780]
