We did it! The shower is over and everyone was fed and photographed. My sister and friends Sandy and Sandy were over the top taking charge and getting stuff done. So were niece Lindsay and Stacy, girlfriend of Sandy's son. Danny and Mike were bartender and barrista, and friend RJ hung out and helped out while his wife attended the shower. The bride and groom have lots of great gifts to somehow get back to CT.Many Bailey's lattes were served - with whipped cream and chocolate powder. Bloody Mary's were favored by the senior set. Vodka and most juices were served. We made a Bellini punch and most of that was gone. I didn't have any pop, and probably should have.
Quiche and crepes were catered, Nancy made fruit salad; Sandy made pasta salad and we cut up two whole boneless hams. There's still SO MUCH food leftover. Mostly the little pastries - donuts, muffins, banana bread; and then the desserts - cupcakes, and mini cheesecakes, tarts of all flavors! Finally - the chocolate - in the coffee mugs, sprinkled on the tables, in the prize bags! Laura had made chocolate coffee spoons that we also used for place card holders.
The best part of the day was bringing together people we love - and sometimes don't see as often as we should. My auntie and my mom ... both wore pink! (Good thing I have big boys so I can look smaller because these two are tiny little things).
Of course, I wish I'd had more time to chat with everyone, and thank them for coming. But I did a lot of hugging.
