I will handle decorations and such since I have plenty of time to take care of that ahead of time. And in my discussion with LP, I will make a commemorative trinket for each bride.

Let me know if you need help decorating.

Looks like I'm late for the menu.

Menu is looking good. I'm not sure what is left to bring??

LP any suggestions?? I love to cook so I can make just about anything. I just don't want to bring something that someone else is already bringing.

Well, I hate to say it, but my cooking skills leave something to be desired. But, I'm a pretty good baker. How about some festive cupcakes? And my aunt makes this awesome coffe kind of drink for the holidays (I don't even like coffee and I love it). I will get the recipe from her.

Re: Food for 12.11 GTG

How about I bring a few bottles of wine? Or italian bread? Or both?

Daniela,

You are officially my decorating buddy. Once we figure what time the festivities are to begin, I'll let you know what time to head over.

Thanks!
