Musical Luncheon

This past Sunday several of my friends and I hosted a luncheon for one of our favorite high school senior girls.  She is precious and loves everything about music.  So we decided to host a musically themed luncheon with her favorite foods.

Here is the menu:

Beef Tenderloin
Caesar Salad
Stuffed New Potatoes
Red Lobster Biscuits
Olive Bread
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Sugar Cookies
Mini Cupcakes

Here are several pictures from the day.

In this photo, you will see goblets adorned with musical notes, crushed ice and Red Zinger Tea.  Recipe below.
To greet our guests, I made a musical sheet wreath.  See instructions below

Sugar Cookies.  I did not make these, but they were so wonderful.  I will try to get the recipe.

RED ZINGER TEA

My friends and I have served Red Zinger Tea at a multitude of functions.  It is so refreshing and the prettiest pink color.  To make: 
1 liter Sprite/7UP/ or store brand lemon lime drink. 
5 Red Zinger Tea bags. 

Directions:  empty out just a little of the drink.  Insert 5 tea bags individually.  Place in refrigerator overnight.  Pour into a pretty pitcher and serve.

MUSIC SHEET WREATH

75 double sided sheets of music
1 white Styrofoam wreath form (mine was about 9 inches in diameter)
Hot Glue 
2 Floral Picks
Ribbon
Wooden Initial
Paint (the color of your choice)

Fold the sheets into cones and hot glue until the cones remains. Once all of the cones are made you may begin to glue onto the Styrofoam.  I placed a small cup in the middle of the wreath form so that I would achieve a nice round shape.  

I glued at Noon, 3, 6 and 9 first and then began to fill in.  Complete one row all the way around.  Some of the wreath form will be showing at this point.  Continue with a partial second row with the cones strategically placed to cover the wreath form.

Tie the wires of the 2 floral picks together to form a hanger for the wreath.. Insert the pointed side of each pick into the top of the wreath form.  

Tie a ribbon on the wires if desired.  

Paint a wooden initial and hot glue to middle of wreath.   

Hang and enjoy!
