Bridal Shower $$$

So, one of my BM's is getting married 2 weeks after me..in the DR. She asked me to be her MOH which means $$$. I think the rest of the BP lives in the DR so I don't think they'll be much help.

The QOTD: How can I throw her a nice shower without a lot of dough? I don't think it will work to do it at my house because I am in Suffolk and the majority of the guests live in Queens.

Any suggestions greatly welcomed.
TIA

hmmm - chinese buffet. I think it's around $10 pp...

Where??? I'm all over that!

I don't know of one specifically... But there is a chain rest called China Buffet - There's one in Flushing (I just googled 'china buffet, queens, ny' and a bunch came up)..

I just meant that Chinese buffet places are usually inexpensive...

If you're only on at night Christine, I can post during the day for you and see if any Queens girl recommend one...

Here's my google search

Jenn...I would so appreciate that! Yeah, for some reason the NYC Board of Ed blocks the chat forums. I guess they don;t want us chatting when we're supposed to be educating the city's best and brightest.

How many people are being invited and how much are you looking to spend.

Also you have to be careful with the cuisine you choese. I know Chinese food would not sit well with my family even though i like it.

I would suggest checking out local restaurants in the area that she lives in or you can always try Pier 25A.

The food here is very good and they give you alot. The price isnt that bad at all as long as you dont get open bar or anything.

Hope this helps you

I am thinking that it will end up being 30-40 people. Many of them will be Hispanic. I want it to be as cheap as possible, not that I don't love her, but because it will be so close to my wedding.

---

Hispanics are picky eaters. How about you ask her close relatives to cook instead? they are used to cooking for big families.

---

And rent a hall? She actually doesn't have a lot of family here, both her and FH are from DR. But most of her friends and our co-workers are Hispanic.

Do you think people would be offended if I asked them to cook?

To be honest i would not ask people t cook if they are the guests. If she has a bridal party and they are willing to be involved then you should ask them. Otherwise i would not ask her friends and co workers to cook. I think that is rude and if i was asked i would be
