Can anyone give me ideas/recipes for a cheap and easy 3-course meal? (for school prom)?

The theme is candyland (not related to the board game). I'm thus looking for colorful meals. We are a small school and only a maximum of 60 people will be at the prom. Also our budget is very limited.Can anyone give me ideas/recipes for a cheap and easy 3-course meal? (for school prom)?
Course 1 - tossed salad with some color thrown in (bell peppers, carrots, etc.)





Course 2 - spaghetti with meat sauce (a little colorful and very cheap to make in bulk)





Course 3 - sugar cookies colored up with different bright frosting colors





For beverage, dunk orange, raspberry, or ranbow sherbet in a bowl filled with Sprite or Sierra Mist. It will be sweet and colorfulCan anyone give me ideas/recipes for a cheap and easy 3-course meal? (for school prom)?
Totally great, do ahead appetizer:


Crabbies! If you've never had these, you don't know what your missing. Everybody RAVES about these and they can be done way ahead of time!





1 can of crab meet, same size as Tuna can


1 (5-ounce) jar Cheddar-horseradish spread (recommended: Kraft Old English)


2 tablespoons mayonnaise


1 teaspoon garlic powder


1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened


Dash hot sauce or cayenne pepper


6 English Muffins











In a large bowl, combine crab, cheese spread, mayonnaise, garlic powder, butter and hot sauce. Divide mixture evenly over each English Muffin half. Put on cookie sheet and freeze for an hour. Cut the rounds into quarters and bake now or freeze in ziplock bag until you want them.





Bake at 425 until topping is heated through and golden brown on top, about 10 to 15 minutes.





Enjoy!
1-you can do salad but instead of the normal croutons make your own, use color coloring to change the colors.





2- chicken parm. or Lasagna- and bread sticks.





3- fruit salad or just simple dessert like cake





but if it is candy land, you can leave bowls of candy out and scatter some candy on the tables. Leave some mint out too since I am sure breathe will be funky and some high schools do kiss!
