Why oh why did I read this thread? Now I'm STARVING!

Sounds like you've got some great suggestions and great menu list started!

Yes, have her open any cards without packages. You can't simply ignore them. But don't be saying "WOW! $100.....woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" LOL

its harder to determine what somebody paid - a onsie can be $5 or it could have been $10, etc.

Or it could be $.50 (I love thrift stores. )

Yes, so do I! You saw me get that gorgeous white outfit that still had its tags on for $3. That would have been at least $20 in the store!

Ok so she'll open the cards and politely say "oh, Jan, thank you for your generousity!" Instead of "Woo-hooooo, you gave me $150!!! Oh la la!"

I'm so exicted for you guys that so many people are coming to bless this new little one! I can't wait to see pictures and hear how it goes!

Something that I love and goes over well in large groups is little smokies. For each package of little smokies, add a can of cranberry sauce and a cup of brown sugar. Stick it in a crockpot and stir occasionally- it is super easy and is a hit! There are several dip for chips you can do in a crockpot that would free up some of your time during the party.
