new years eve party food

[nattivitycake]

Any suggestions for something a bit different that can be done on the cheap? We're hosting a "masked ball" so preferably something a bit classy, but not OTT...

I dont mind what preparation is needed as me and hubby will both be home for the week before :)

Cheers!!

Ps, there will be kids there, so I'm also doing some regular party food.
And I need some vegetarian suggestions too

Thanks again!!
