We are in the beginning stages of planning our Mother-Daughter Banquet for this year (May 10th). They have decided on a Country/Western Theme. We have some people who can come and provide some really good Bluegrass Music. I think maybe we will do that instead of having a speaker. We'll see tho. That decision remains to be seen
We are thinking of decorating with red and white gingham. That's as much as we know so far.
I am in charge of getting the meal together. We typically have 100-120 ladies for this, so it is no small task. But we have lots of really good cooks in our church who I know will be glad to help. I'm thinking several directions for this meal........ Tell me what you think.....
Since it's a COUNTRY theme, I think we're going to use pint Ball jars for our beverages. And I guess that the logical drinks to go with the theme would be sweet tea, lemonade or water. Right?
For food, I'm actually considering ordering some fried chicken pieces from Meijers. Theirs is good and lots cheaper than KFC. And I wouldn't have to cook it myself
To go with the chicken, I'm thinking Potato Salad, Baked Beans, Rolls, Salad.
One of our ladies makes cakes every year. She makes a different kind of cake - all very fancy and VERY delicious! - for the centerpiece for every table. Then when it is dessert time, the people love getting up and walking around the room to get the kind of cake that appeals to them the most. So I think we'll go with that for dessert (kind of have to)
Soooo.............. here's my question........... Can you think of anything better for the menu? And do you have any great (but inexpensive) decorating ideas? And how about skits? Do you have any really good Country-themed skits that we could do?
I'd sure appreciate any help - not just from PO and Renda - from EVERYONE!! thanks!
PO, Renda, and others.... Need your help....
