Since it's late morning on a Sunday, I imagine that a lot of people will be at church, unless it's in a circle that doesn't have Sunday morning services (Jewish, Muslim, etc.).I'd recommend the Ham and Cheese Brunch Squares - if you can't do the ham in them because of dietary restrictions (see above comment about Jewish, Muslim, etc.), then add more veggies to it. Serve it with cut fruit layered in the Trifle Bowl. The squares are easy and can be cut into pretty small pieces before they start to fall apart, making them good for a large group. And fruit is always a hit, plus it'll show off the Trifle Bowl, which is on special for hosts in December.
Yes, I agree. It's AWESOME that she's inviting that many, but it's pretty unlikely that she'll have to worry about that many coming. I had someone recently invite 70 and she only had 8 show up. However, she did have a TON Of outside orders, which got her to over $1000. Definitely make sure she does reminder calls (holy cow, that's a lot to remind!chefann said:You'll definitely want to get a count of confirmed attendees before the show. Just because she's inviting 80 doesn't mean there will be anywhere near that many there.
) and follow up with those who can't come because the outside order potential could be HUGE!! Especially with the holidays coming. Have fun and, I agree, try to make it on the shorter side if you have a huge crowd. Good luck!!! . Even though we talked multiple times about inviting people personally AND calling to remind them, I found out he just handed the invites to anyone he passed at church...no follow up calls. but REALLY encourage her to make everyone feel personally invited by calling every one.
