Baptism help
So money is tight and I wanted to do a small dinner type thing after she is baptized.
I sat down to make the list and it's almost 100 people! I have a big family!
Now I don't know what to do. There are some people we know definitely wont come, and some people we could probably cut from the list, but it will still be 55-65 people.
Do you think it'd be cheaper to just do a Knights of Columbus type thing and rent it out? How does that work? Do we have to cater ourselves and then we'd need a dj right?
Any tips on cheap ways of doing this with so many people?
I'd love to cook myself and have a backyard thing, but she's going to be born any day now and I want to have her baptized soon and not wait until spring.
Ideas?? TIA

Re: Baptism help
What about looking into restaurants...I think with knights of columbus you have to rent tables and chairs and cater all food.

I was planning on having it at a restaurant, but I thought 70+ people would be too many people for a restaurant? What do you think? I'd much rather a restaurant than KOC.

Blue Lagoon in West Babylon is $25pp and the food is really good. My baby shower was there and it was really nice.

Check out Vincent's Clam Bar, they were inexpensive and we had over 70.
