Bridal Shower HELP!!!!

[Dreamgirl08]

Hey Everyone!!!!

 

So hubby and I have been happily married for 2 yrs now..YAY!! (i would've never accomplished anything without the help of this forum) It is now my time to finally pull thru for my girl..my best friend in the whole wide world. I'm in charge of the Bridal Shower & I need your help ladies!!! I have an idea of what I want for her shower..i'm hosting it at a local hall, and i'm thinking of having it Catered. I just don't know where to start. I'm in jersey & found these amazing caterers around my way.."PersonalTouchCaterers". I'm just thinking how much can they actually do for me, and what exactly will i be looking for them to do for me, besides the Food. Also, i'm hosting it on a Sunday - mid day maybe like from 1 to 4 pm. What kind of food do you guys think i should serve. I'm hosting this party all on my own, so $$$ is a concern but i really wanna host something nice, so i'm willing to dish out a pretty penny for my bff. And question, should i do a cake or are cupcakes the new thing now? The party will consist of 55 ppl..and the hall is pretty spacious. I'm trying to do as many things as i could on my own..so any DIY IDEAS you ladies care to share will be very much appreciated. I promise to POST PICS with all of your ideas after the shower! Thanku..thanku..thanku. We're on for April 17th, 2011!!!

I gotta make miracles happen in less then 2 months...so please please help me you guys. Happy Planning to you all btw ))

For my shower, we had a cake and then sent guests home with mini tiered cakes that I made using a pan from Williams Sonoma.
