I'm hosting a bridal shower in the next month for a close friend of mine. The party is on a Saturday and starts at 1 p.m. and goes until about 4:30 or so.  Would it be ok to do heavy appetizers as the food - or should I be including lunch (sandwiches, salads, etc.) into the menu? Thanks in advance!

    Its kind of boarderline. Did you already send out invites? What I'm getting at is could you push it to 2pm and end at 5pm. That's a solid non-meal time that not many would be confused about.

    If you can't change the time at this point, I would have a mix heavy apps with a couple lunch foods (like tea sandwiches and a pasta salad or something). I think that should have you covered.

    If I'm at a shower for 3.5 hours I expect to be fed a meal. That's a long block of time to not include a meal. I think 2.5 hours is the max with apps since eating won't take as long as it would with a sit down meal.

    If you serve the aps like a cocktail hour, let guests mingle, you might be able to stretch it out for about 1 1/2 hours, then play some games and open presents. Are the aps being passed or are the set up like a buffet? If they are set up like a buffet, expect the ladies to eat like it's a buffet, so you will need more food anyway. At that point, you might be better off just serving a meal.

    We've decided on sandwiches, salads, vegetarian options and heavy apps - plus cake and cookies.  All fall themed :). I think we should be covered!

    Thanks for your input everyone!

    I could make a meal out of hor'dorves if plentiful enough. Adding sandwiched and salads, I wouldn't be complaining.
