getting ready the morning of - catering for bridesmaids

hi all

So i will have 7 bridesmaids and my MIL getting ready with me the morning of my wedding at my hotel suite. Factor in hair and make up person - there will be at least 11 women in my room from 10am - 2:30 pm. I figured that I have to feed these people!

i'm staying at the Inn at Fox Hollow - does anyone have any inexpensive, but good catering recommendations nearby? I think i'll have to go the lunch route since we're there in the afternoon and most girls would have eaten breakfast beforehand. Delivery would be nice, but i'm sure one of my girls can go pick up if necessary. I'm currently looking at Iavarone and their prices seem Ok so far.

Also - any type of food I should stick with? I assume nothing too heavy - so i was thinking maybe sandwiches (they do a mini panini platter) and something easy to eat like pasta salad and finger foods.

Usually when I was in a wedding the food was bagels, pastries, wraps things like that . Stuff everyone can pick at all morning.

I was planning on getting some trays of wraps etc at costco for the big day

I work right around the corner and there are lots of great places to eat! I am going to bagel and mimosa route but we are starting at 8am and have to be ready by 1pm so it's more breakfast time. For 10-2 I would say wraps are always good. I am not sure about pricing but ivarone is on the corner of Jericho and south woods and they are always awesome!

Best of luck!!!

We actually just were talking about this yesterday - I have a large bridal party as well, and FMIL and FH's aunt are coming over the morning of too so we're sticking with bagels and a hero or wraps I think.
