Nat here. Well the 80s guinea party was a hit! Everyone dressed up which was super fun, we had Pat Cash, Karate Kid, Madonna, white suits, mullets, side ponies, fingerless gloves, leg warmers, pleats, power suits and everything in between - we had the 80s sufficiently covered in clothes alone! Here's a run down on the night.
First for the table settings:
Baby's breath played a big part, as did mustard yellow everything, carnations and butter in triangles. The menu was also in theme:
We started with blue lagoons made by husband:
He rocked a Gordon Gekko outfit. Next came the starters - rockmelon and proscuttio (thanks Gem!), kebana and cheese, cocktail onions - all served on oranges of course:
And there wasn't an 80s dinner party without Jatz:
Next was the entree which I didn't get a snap of but was a prawn cocktail with brandy sauce which was quite delicious. Main was baked chicken maryland with an avocado salad and tomato sauce (iceberg lettuce played a large part in the evening):
Dessert was marshmallow pavlova slice which looked like the photo in the book! The piping was easy with the use of an icing syringe - highly recommend you all purchase one of those!
Then came the best part - dancing to the 80s classics:
Bring on the next guinea!
