Decor stuff

Here are a few things that I have started gathering to use for the shower.

I think these would look nice on the food table.
Also, Angelic is making lots of individual cakes that she is going to put on a three tier platter. I have this large silver platter than can be used to serve sandwiches or something else.

Venue Solved!

Robin has the hookups! She has a wonderful grandmother who has reserved the Quail Lakes clubhouse for the entire day of the shower for FREE!!!! I'll post pics that Robin sent me when I get a chance! Wooo Hooo! We are on our way. :)

Venue

Okay, I'm having a problem. The Fresno Breakfast house is going to cost at least 7.95 per person before tax and gratuity. If all 65 people show up I just can't afford it. I would really like to find a place where we can host it and serve the teas, tea sandwiches, small salads, cake and a few other small finger-food type sweets. The other problem is that it is November so you can't really host something outside. Robin is checking into a few places for us. Another thought was possibly if someone had a church where we could host but of course it is a Sunday and most churches might frown on having a party on Sunday.

The next suggestion is to break the guest list up into smaller groups and have multiple showers at personal clubhouses or peoples homes: work friends, college friends, etc. My personal budget for the shower is 400 tops. My sister is a great haggler so she is working on a few places for me also.

Okay venting done. Thanks. :)

Thank you!

Thank you for the feedback ladies! I love it. Johnelle, so sneaky to take her to breakfast there and find out what she thought. I'm keeping it on the list. The price seems pretty good too! I just need to find out if we can maybe bring in our own desserts and food also to compliment the menu and make it more high tea-ish. I love food! Rosie is half English so we gotta do it up at least half right. :)

Also, you should be able to leave comments now in the comment section but let me know. Of course, email has been working great. I can make it so that when someone leaves a comment you get it directly to your email box. Let me know if this is something you would like and I'll add you.

Bridal Shower Centerpiece

I think this centerpiece might look pretty cute on her tables. If we do a round table we could group 3 together. Also this might be easy to check the goodwill for glasses or borrow from friends.
