Shower Question/ Opinion
So, for my sisters shower I'm throwing a tea party (For my pintrest followers, you know it's a Mad hatter Theme). Anyway.
I've rented a hall, I have it for the entire day. I have the whole day from 9-130 or so to be in the building before people show up at 2 or 3 for the shower. So I can decorate etc. The hall has a kitchen (fridge and stove)
For food, I keep thinking I want to do a caterer but for the prices I'm getting I feel like there won't be enough food. (14.50 PP before taxesto do tea sandwiches and salads and sodas). Should I just 'suck it up' and spend my saturday cooking and my sunday setting up and rewarming food for 40 people? And then I can make all my sisters 'favorite' foods (lemon chicken, marinated mushrooms, swedish meatballs) or should I bite the bullet and get catered?
Just looking for opinions.
Re: Shower Question/ Opinion
i would just cater it. then you can enjoy the party.
can i have your lemon chicken recipe?
ditto on both counts
if you lived closer to CT, i'd suggest stew leonard's. for christmas 2009, we had everything but our prime rib & dessert from stew's. so easy, so good, and the cost was not much more than we'd have spent making fried shrimp, mashed potatoes, stuffing mushrooms, etc...
