Help w/ Bridal Shower

Not for me of course but I need your suggestions. I want to help someone plan a shower for like 50-60 ladies in late July/early August (Sat. or Sun, whatevers cheaper). She is not on a big budget and would rather not spend over $25 per head at a nice place in Nassau. Please list your top 5 locations and price if you know them. THANKS!!!!!!

I attended a shower at Peppercorns last year and it was great. The private room was beautiful and it was only like $18 per person. The food was good too. I am also throwing a bridal shower next weekend for my friend at Elisa's in N. Bellmore. It is $15 a head. I'll let you know how it is.

Peppercorns is inexpensive, Annabella's is 16.95 a person, Giardinos has menus around that much and Paddys Loft in Massapequa I think is a good deal as well.

Re: Help w/ Bridal Shower

Here are a few places that I have been to for Bridal showers, Baby Showers & Christenings that were very nice and probably fall into your price range -
Macaroni Grill in Westbury, Jonathans in Mineola, Testarossa i think in Syosset and Seventh St. Cafe in Garden City.

Re: Help w/ Bridal Shower

We had my sister in laws shower @ PEPPERCORNS in the upstairs room and her mom paid about $17 pp plus tax and gratuity - it was such a beautiful shower-that room is beautiful!

Just this past saturday my mom & I threw a shower for a friend of ours from out of state whose daughter is getting married next month--my mom and I threw this shower together in literally 3 weeks! We had it @ the GRAND CHINA BUFFET in Hicksville--they have a seperate room that is really nice but you have to guarentee 50 people-we only had 30 people so we had the back part of the resturant but we were not involved or bothered by the rest of the place--let me tell you for $8.99 pp the amount of food is CRAZY! They have EVERY type of Chinese food--a salad/fruit bar & pizza & Fries and a sushi bar & a whole dessert area plus we brought in our own cake. It is all you can eat and drink (soft drinks) they were very nice and I'll attach a few pictures of what we did to spice up the tables a little--my mom and I made these centerpieces with floating candles and roses--they cost for all 9 of them about $2 each-and we got free rose petals from a local florist (they just saved all the petals they picked off roses and let us have them!) The rest we got from my friend's dad who is a florist! Here are the pics! i had to shrink them so the quality isn't that good--

La VIola in Syosset!!!! Mine was held there yesterday and it was wonderful. They have a private room and the food is deliscious. And I think it is in your price range!!!
