Confirmation buffet/fussy in laws

27 replies

I am looking for ideas for my DDs confirmation buffet. There will be approx 20 adults and 8 dc. I have to have everything prepared the day before (or frozen in advance) as we have to be in church for approx 10:15 and won't be out until approx 1:00 and as we live only 5 minutes from church everyone will be coming straight back to our house.

The problem is my PILs. They don't eat anything forrin, spicy, tasty or colourful basically. Meat, potatoes and 2 veg is it. They don't eat pasta, rice, cous cous, noodles, MIL does not eat red meat.

Aswell as fussy PILs we have 1 guest with an egg allergy, 3 diabetics and 1 vegetarian.

We are on a very tight budget which is why we are having a buffet at home so want to feed everyone for €100. I am in Ireland so don't have asda, iceland, m&s, sainsburys, morrisons etc. We have Aldi, Lidl, Dunnes and Tesco.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd keep in simple.

I did a mix of small rolls (rolls from M&S looked posher! with egg&cress, ham and prawn mayo - got up early didn't take too long to make. Quiche, home made sausage rolls and crisps. Plus coleslaw and cherry toms/cucumber/carrot sticks. Think we also had cheese and biscuits. Also did a plate of fresh fruit - strawberries, pineapple, blueberries.

You could do some chicken drumsticks so you have catered for MIL!

I made some cupcakes. Ebay has some ready made communion/confirmation decorations for cakes plus my DD's cake.

Only did soft drinks and tea.

for fussy people just have LOTS of fresh crusty bread, cheeses etc.
they won't go hungry.
