Congrats with Baklava!You must remember that with Congratulations your guest of honor deserves the best treats. This special congrats Baklava is the right appetizer for your party platters and the guest of honor's stomach!
1 lb filo dough
1/2 lb sweet butter
2 cup ground pistachios
Preheat oven to 200 F. (You may want to use a higher setting. I found that it takes too long to bake and the center stays a little dought tasting at 200 F. I use 275 F.) Melt butter, grease 11x16 jelly roll pan. Lay 1 sheet of filo on bottom of pan and brush with butter. (If it doesn't fit exactly just fold edges over to make it fit.) Repeat until you have used approx. half the sheets. Spread nuts evenly over entire surface. Continue layering sheets of filo on top of nut layer. Pour any remaining butter over top. Cut into diagonal strips to form diamond shapes. Bake 2 1/2 hours. (Watch carefully after 2 hours to make sure it doesn't get overdone. The top should be a light golden brown.)
Syrup:
3 cup sugar
2 cup apricot nectar
2 tblsp honey
1 tblsp lemon juice
Bring to boil and then simmer to a heavy syrup (approx. 20-25 min). When baklava is done drain any excess butter from pastry. Brush surface lightly with butter. Pour warm syrup over pastry a little at a time until all is absorbed. Allow to cool several hours. Makes approx. 30 diamonds.
There's nothing quite like a big piece of this Bakalava in the evening.

Congratulations Party Supplies with a Theme Party
To throw a Congratulations Party for someone is a fine thing to do. It could be for any number of occasions such as: promotion, baby, engagement, retirement, or whatever victory in life. Let the party on flow with Congratulations party supplies for a very nice themed designs. The invitations could say something like "Let's help...........celebrate this momentous occasion, and be prepared to party!" Find out what the guest of honor is into and then decorate with that theme. Let’s say its football, then that would be the theme for this Congratulations Party. You would bring the Football theme throughout the party as far as decorations, party ware, prizes and party favors. Have great music and dancing as this makes any party a blast. Make the event more exciting with a Graduation recipe for more awesome food. The refreshments would be designed to fit with the guest of honors tastes. If he/she are into snack food then provide that, or maybe pizza, burgers and hot dogs. For the more sophisticated tastes, you could serve a light meal like lasagna, or spaghetti and meat balls with garlic bread and Caesars salad. A congratulatory cake would be the finishing touch to this fun fabulous party.
