Bridal shower menu help

Please let me know if I'm missing something or need to scale back in a particular area.  It's at 2 pm.

Greek salad (served in little cups with wooden mini forks)

Olive dip with tortilla chips

Cheese ball with crackers (this and the olive dip were requests of the bride)

Tea sandwiches - chicken salad ones and spinachy ones.  These will be little heart shaped pocket sandwiches because I'm a nerd.

Ombre layered cake (I will probably also make a pink sheet cake because we might have a ton of people coming)

Fruit salad, also served in the little cups.

I think that's it.  Any glaring omissions?

Re: Bridal shower menu help

  • I'm not a huge fan of greek food, so take this at face value, but I'm not sure there would enough variety for people who are picky/don'd care for greek food. Maybe have 2 salads, one greek and one...pasta salad? caesar salad? I'm not sure. But I like to eat A LOT. Bridal showers be damned.

  • I kind of see where Mo is coming from I guess, but I wouldn't add another salad, honestly. In my experience, salad isn't popular enough at mass gatherings to warrant 2 types.  
  • I am so hungry.

    Everything sounds lovely.  I saw something on Pinterest recently where they put the fruit salad in waffle cones.  It looked really cute.  I'm going to try that for Emmett's party on Saturday.

    Did they line the cones with anything? It seems like they would get soggy really fast.

  • I love Greek food (and I'm eating shwarma as we speak) so maybe my view is a little skewed.  But, this shower will be taking place in a town called "Chunky," so something with olives/oil/vinegar and no ranch might be a little too much for some people.

    Coley, that sounds like a really cute idea.  I got some waxed liner paper at World Market for cheap, if you're worried about sogginess.  It's red and white checkered.

    Also, my mom bought some cupcake holders from Wal-Mart's valentine's section for really cheap.  They're wire, and I'm almost positive they would hold ice cream cones too.

    HAHAHAHAHA. I'm totally coming to crash your party. Chunky and Hot Coffee are tied for my favorite MS town names.
