Re: How do I make Russo's on the Bay more simple? I am going to kill my mom!

For centerpieces how about flowering plants. Mums will still be in bloom. Very colorfull and not to costly. I would skip the favors or just do something very simple like a few chocolates or cookies.

Are you doing a dinner, brunch CT party. What did you decide on?

I am having a lunch on a Sunday. My dad wasn't crazyabout the brunch menu. He couldn't see going from eggs and sausage to a main meal of pasta and 6 entrees. Its from 1 to 5.

Of course, it depends on the menu, day of the week and time of day that is chosen. Also, it depends on whether you will have open bar or just beer/wine/soda. The price range, I believe, started at like low 50'sPP... that does not include 8.625 % tax or 18% service charge.. which in my opinion, was pretty reasonable. I was expecting it to be a lot more, considering their reputation.

I saw in a magazine, a galvinazed(silver) bucket like farmers used to milk cows, filled with apples. Maybe add some greenery or herbs or fake berries. I twas very simple yet elegant and nice.
