We have about 50-60 people coming and are doing an Italian food buffet (it is in a hall with enough table room for everyone). I would suggest finger foods if you do not have table room for all guests as eating a meal can be messy with no table.
A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.
After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

My shower is at 2 pm and we are trying to do a full meal. We have taco salad, sweetish meatballs, cakes, bread and dips, taco dip. all kinds of stuff. i think my family would be upset if i didn't have a big meal because that's what our family does. If you are only going to do finger foods and such, you might want to think about telling people that on the invite as some people expect food. Even if you put it on there though, doesn't mean people will believe it. I went to a wedding once where it was like that and people were starving because they thought that there would be food. Must not have read the fine print....
I had a total of 4 showers. My first 3 were for my oldest DD (over 25 years ago) and they were all just cake and coffee/punch. All of them were later evening (like 7 pm) except one was a Sunday afternoon (2-4) so it wasn't a meal time. My last shower was 5 years ago and my friend had salads (chicken, pasta, potato) and rolls. It was also evening (but 6-7).
My DDs' shower was from 2-5 on a Saturday afternoon and there was lasagna (regular and veggie), garlic bread, large lettuce salad, and a veggie tray. Normally at that time you don't need a "meal" but because she had so many people driving from out of state and out of town (anywhere from 1-5 hours) we felt it was necessary to FEED them before they left! lol
We are having 2 types of wings, meatballs, mac and potato salad, a lunch meat tray, veggie tray and fruit platter. We'll also have soda, the cake and white chocolate pretzels as favors.
My shower will be in hall at the church at 3pm. We're having fried chicken,baked mac&cheese,greens,Potato salad,fruit and veggie trays,Cheese and cracker trays,cup cakes and pink drinks for about 50ppl
We are having mine at a clubhouse at the nearby golf course. So I think we have decided on a 2 pm time with some light appetizers. I think we will be having taquitos, guacamole, salsa, and vegetable platter. Then of course a cake.
