I know I can count on you wonderful ladies to save my backside every time... I need some ideas!
I'm having my first official girl's night in next weekend, as DH is going camping with a couple of mates. I've invited a couple of my girlfriends around for a few quiet drinks and an evening in, we will have the kids running amok so that should be interesting... no real plans other than drinks and talking wedding stuff (as one of the girls got engaged recently and we're all throwing ourselves into helping her with planning the big day).

I just need some ideas on snacks/nibblies I can have at the ready in case we need some food to soak up the cab-sav... and all I can think of is boring old standard cupcakes! I'm going to go ahead and make them but if anybody has any ideas on how to jazz them up a little, or a recipe for some really unique ones (Rouge I'm looking in your direction!), I'd appreciate it. I'm thinking of maybe having a small variety of little bits and pieces we can snack on, maybe some homemade dip and vegie sticks/crackers, something sweet that I can have prepared beforehand (ie cupcakes/brownies etc), and... I don't know. I've never had people over for anything other than BBQs and I don't know what to do!
I need ideas for things that I can either prepare beforehand and have sitting in the pantry/fridge ready to go, or things that can be whipped up in a few minutes.
Any advice/ideas/recipes would be greatly appreciated!! TIA!!
