Ok, what comes to mind when you think P.O.T.O.?There's elements of: formal, refined, scary, tender, and mystery (masks & all). I would have a several course meal that started with hors'odervers & a coctail hour (could be non-alcohol), with champagne glasses, gloved waiters in tuxedos, with a cape, mask & white gloves, like the actors. The guests should be dressed formally like the patrons of the opera. Have the music from the show playing softly in the background-could be a CD or a small band or a pianoist. The hors'odervers would be served on silver platters (you can get silver plastic at party stores that are beautiful) I'd have formal table settings..beautiful table cloths & cloth napkins (either folded fancily or in napkin rings) with several forks, spoons, glasses (water, wine, etc) along with several plates. Start with maybe a fish appetizer (shrimp coctail, crab meat, etc.), then a sorbet to clear the palate. Next, a small fancy salad followed by a soup-anything from a beautiful cold plumb soup (boil fresh Italien plumbs with a little water until very soft. Soup will be dark pink and delicious serve cold with a little cream) or, a consume, a pumpkin, squash–any light soup. This would be followed your main course, which should consist of a protien (fish–lobster to salmon, scallops, beef: roast or filet mignon, fowl-duck ala orange, cornish game hen, veal or chicken picatta, etc) paired with scalloped potatoes, rice with vegetables, cous-cous, buttered noodles, asparagas, whole green beans with toasted almonds, baby peas or baby buttered carrots, all served with nice rolls & butter and either a cranberry relish, homemade applesauce, pickeled whole baby beets, tiny pickels-whatever. Dessert could be a chocolate mousse, baked Alaska, a cocolate fountain with fresh fruit & cake to dip, or, cake & coffee. Have a wonderful time and congratulations to your parents. Your parents are lucky to have such a thoughtful, loving child. As for the menu-these are suggestions and you should choose the foods your parents like best. Congratulations and best wishes for a wonderful anniversary party!
