Baby Showers

Another question: this time menu

I am going to be about a month from giving birth myself for the shower I am giving my BFF. I am trying to keep food simple. There is going to be about 30 people (she has a crazy big family) What do you think about the food I plan to serve?

Crock Pot of Buffalo Chicken Dip/chips

A veggie/fruit/cheese platter from Wegmans  

2 big things of baked pasta

Salad and bread

Cupcakes

I feel like I need another "main dish"  Ideas for something not expensive and EASY to make?

Re: Another question: this time menu

  • I honestly think you have plenty!

    Unless you want to offer a meat option then you could do lasanga?Otherwise, another easy hot dish would be mac and cheese.

     

     

  • I think what you have is fine.  If the shower is going to be in the summer, you might want to trade out the pasta for some sliced subs instead.

  • Sounds good to me. You can always get those frozen lasagnas and throw one in the oven!

    What time is the shower?  Unless it's right at dinner time, you have plenty.  
  • It is at 2pm.

     

    I guess I am just used to my family eatting a ton, we are Italian, that it seems like I won't have enough.

    Thanks for all the advice.

  • That sounds like more than enough to me, more than most showers I've been to.  I wouldn't do anything else, especially for a 2pm shower which is in between lunch and dinner.

    I completely know what you are talking about!!  I think you should be fine, but if you wanted to add a 2nd main course, how about some chicken cutlets or sausage and peppers?  You could definitely make the sausage and peppers a day or two ahead and just reheat it.

    Yep, this is exactly what I was thinking!
