My sister's bridal shower is next week and I'm a bit nervous. I am in charge of organizing the whole thing. I invited all the guests and created a menu, and now I'll be in charge of setting everything up, decorating, and buying and making all the food. I'll also have to take pictures, mingle with the guests, keep track of all the presents for my dear sissy, and hopefully, I can sneak in a video or two with her. Mom will be great help, I am relieved she will be showing up early.

MENU (so far)

Cake from bakers kitchen
Meat and Cheese Tray
Grilled Cheese finger sandwiches
Veggie Tray with Ranch
Meat Balls
Cream Puffs /Éclairs
Shrimp with cocktail sauce
Bread Rolls/Croissants
Chicken salad
Winter (Potato) salad
Chips and Dip- (Salsa/Spinach)
24 cup-cakes w/engagement ring motifs (12 yellow batter w/wedding bell design and 12 devils food cake with white icing and ring insert)
Chocolate covered strawberries (I am doing this myself)

I am making most of these foods from scratch. Mom's making the Russian potato salad and hitting up Sam's club for eclairs, veggie tray and cocktail shrimp, and my sister's fiance's cousin is making the meatballs. I'm getting the meat/cheese platter from work and cupcakes from Kroger. The salsa will be store bought, although I will make some of my famous triple cheese salsa as well, for my sis to take home and enjoy AFTER the 50-something guests leave. I'm baking the bread rolls and dipping strawberries in chocolate as well as drawing a design on them to make them "tuxedo strawberries" - I have all the necessary equipment at work.
