[quote=Anonymous]I need the DCUM hive mind (especially any thoughts from the "hostess ninja master" who posted earlier this summer!...truly, though, all suggestions welcome):

I am co-hosting a largeish baby shower (20 people invited) in my smallish apartment (1200 sqf, combined LR/DR where everyone will be is probably 700 sqf--and yes, ideally we would have either had the shower at a restaurant or narrowed the list, but that ship has sailed for various dull reasons including budget). 2-4pm on a Sunday. I need advice regarding what to serve, especially since our guest of honor is on a low GI diet. Does everything need to be low GI, or simply enough to present a good range of options for her? To drink, I was thinking of serving one simple signature mocktail/cocktail depending on guest preference (e.g. Bellini or pasteurized cider type drink). Usually I would do something like small finger sandwiches (easy small bite options) or an egg bake with oven bacon (for brunch), but not sure what to do given time of day and dietary restrictions? Prep ahead ideas certainly appreciated. Also, I was thinking maybe cookies for a sweet little something (vs cake which seems harder to serve and more of a centerpiece, which feels less supportive of diet)--or could we skip that altogether and just have a cute pennant banner/bunting instead?

Also, any tips to ensure everyone feels comfortable in a small space? We should have decent seating for 80% of invitees, and ok seating (cushions on floor, etc.) for the rest.

Thanks in advance![/quote]
