Having friends over for a party especially when each family has four or more kids, can get crazy, but not if you plan ahead.
This weekend we had an epic basketball themed party with some friends. It was really stress free and laid back.
I started planning on Monday by picking up everything I needed for the food. I made baked ziti for the main course.
For appetizers, I served pre made taquitos, and tacos.
The ziti was cooked on Tuesday and placed in the freezer. Then the taquitos, and tacos were cooked just before my friends arrived.
I also made a 5 layer Mexican dip.To make the dip, I layered re-fried beans, sour cream, salsa, Guacamole and shredded cheese into appetizer cups.
For the dessert and snacks I kept it super simple as well. Using a black permanent marker and tangerines, I created mini basketballs.
I also served some cheese puffs and cupcakes and gave everything basketball themed names.
For the party I set up a mini photo wall, which was one of the funnest parts for me.
I love taking pictures and capturing memories of events.
This is such an adorable thought!With each great game,you require just as great food.Particularly food that is compact and easy to eat while viewing the basketball games.Thanks for sharing.

My planner was very helpful. She attended tastings and vendor walkthroughs with us, and helped me create an incredible style board. She offered stellar event management recommendations for everything from makeup artists to the band.
What an adorable set up! Love the tangerines!
The tip off tangerines are just too sweet! I am loving the entire set up. How fun!

I am not into sports. However, I must say your party looks like it was a huge success.

YOU are so clever and love the names you came up with. I visit a lot of blogs and never saw anything like this.

This is one of the cutest tables I have ever seen. I really like the lanterns and of course, the oranges. We love anything Mexican.

We don't watch basketball in our house, but we could substitute the basketballs for footballs and then we're talking!
