help me pick a shower place
My mom is making me crazy and indecisive about where to have my baby shower at home (that she doesn't even want me to have in the first place...that's a well known fact). It's down to two places. I have the menus below. Which looks better? It would probably be the last weekend in April.
Place #1
Menu: salad bar (supposed to be a very good salad bar), one or two soups, hot or cold sandwiches (paninis, croussants, etc.), pasta salad, homemade chips, and drinks........she will give a scoop of vanilla ice cream with a blueberry sauce or some kind of sauce, or a little cheesecake Cost - About $16 + tax/tip
*Pros - Easier to find, "fancier" (though I'm not sure how much fancier it really is, per se, but it gives off that vibe more. Negative - Would have to rent linens if you wanted table clothes. They could have maroon napkins there for free that they use for the regular restaurant or you'd have to rent napkins in the chosen color. a little further than choice #2. No outdoor option.
Place #2
$10 + tax/tip option Starter - choice of cup of soup or salad
Entree - Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad
Penne ala Vodka
Chicken Francaise with potato & veg
Plus we will put pitchers of iced tea & soda on the tables - this will not
include any alcoholic beverages.
$15 + tax/tip option
Starter: Choice of House salad or Cup of Soup OR Spinach & Artichoke Dip with homemade tortillas for the table
Entr?e: (choice of one) ? everyone can pick their own entree
Grilled Chicken Caesar or Cork Salad
Chicken Francaise or Marsala served with Chef?s Vegetable & Potatoes
Penne Ala Vodka or Marinara
Tequila Lime Tilapia served with Chef?s Vegetable & Potatoes
Eggplant Rollantini with side of Penne Pasta
*Pros - Tableclothes/napkins provided. Possible outdoor option if it is nice enough. Closer to most people. Negative - a lot of step to get to inside room for the 3 older people. Parking can be iffy and it could be trickier to find.
HELP!
Re: help me pick a shower place
I'd go with place #2. Food always seems to be the biggest plus for guests at a shower and the food sounds better there. Also the fact that the tablecloths and napkins are provided is a biggie.
I feel like my family is crazy. They put a deposit down at the place already (like two weeks ago) for my shower in August!
