my DD 2.8 is being baptised at the end of this month and we have invited approx 50 people back to our house afterwards.
I obviously need to feed and water them but am struggling for ideas...
We are on a tight budget (not used to this - so have never entertained on a budget before)...
I was thinking about doing hot food, casseroles, cous cous etc, does anyone have any ideas please.
Also do we decorate the house with ballons etc?? I want the emphasis to be on the baptism at the church, but as DD is 2.8 and knows that people are coming back to ours after, she will be expecting a party.... so should I decorate with ballons etc?
Also cake, will fairy cakes really do??? (I can make them, but not sure about making and decorating a large one, especially to feed 50...
Lastly (honest). booze, how much do we need to 50 people, and would people be upset if we don't provide champagne, as I don't want a toast etc, want to keep it informal.
If I could guarantee good weather (which we obviously can't) I would have done BBQ (that is how informal I would like it)...
Any help most welcome, as am started to panic.....
