All of the sudden, a lot of RSVPs are pouring in for the baby shower I'm throwing for Ashley. I am overwhelmed because a lot of people who I'd swear would not come are coming!
In the beginning, I joked that I'll have 50 people at the shower, and now its looks as if that is going to be a very real prospect.
Sooooo...... what do I FEED 50 people?
Here's what we have planned so far:
~ Itallian hoagies for 20-30 people, from a real Philly hoagie shop (only the best!)
~ Wawa cheese hoagies for 10-15 people
~ chips to go with the hoagies
~ Fruit salad
~ Soft pretzel nuggets with a variety of dippings (cheese, mustard, etc) -- they are real pretzels and better than anything you've ever tasted! Not at all like the frozen pretzels ou can microwave or bake yourself.
~ a half sheet cake
~ a rubber duckie cake (thats is if I can master the process of making it between now and the shower!)
~ my aunt is bringing some type of dessert
~ Veggie tray
Now what else can I add that is NON-MESSY, and easy to prepare. I stress non-messy because hubby wants meatball sandwiches or roast beef, etc. I can see all these people crammed into my off-white livingroom dropping red meatballs or gravy all over everything as they bump into each other.
We had ordered wraps for my son's graduation party last year.... and not one of them were eaten. People devoured the hoagies. But I'm afraid another hoagie tray would be hoagie overkill. I'd like perhaps something different that would appeal to people who might not want a sandwich. But what?
HELP!
Also, what about chairs? I have enough for 20 people..... I also cannot fathom where I'll PUT an extra 30 chairs (as a matter of fact I can't see the 20 chairs in the hosue either.) Lets pray for a sunny day so people can spill outside and enjoy themselves without feeling like sardines.
