I mentioned before that we're throwing one of DH's coworker's and his wife a Baby Shower/BBQ next week because they don't really know many people over here. I completely forgot it was coming up so soon.
Here's the thing, it's going to be 4 women and about 10 guys, so I don't want to do the traditional baby shower type thing. I thought we could just have it casual and maybe have a couple of games - Arek really likes the drinking beer from baby bottle game and I thought that might be amusing to have the guys do.
In terms of food we're thinking Arek will Bbq a tri-trip and some sort of chicken, I'll make a couple of salads, some rolls and some cookies. Is that sufficient?
Any other ideas?
Re: Help! I almost forgot!
BBQ sounds good!
Do you have a sam's/costco card? I think you do... Anyway- get a tub of potato salad, and do a pasta salad (I have a macaroni and italian pasta salad recipe I love if you want it) and some kind of corn salad or something.
Instead of cookies, do cupcakes from costco/sams- cheap and you dont have to worry about plates and serving it
If you want to do a favor, maybe bake cookies (if you are set on doing cookies) and put in bags tied with a bow.
If you want to do decor, I love this bloggers ideas:
