Just received the bride-to-be's wish list and it has about 40 items= about $700. There are 50+ people invited! I talked to the host and asked her to convince BTB to add cookware, knives, Simple Additions, there won't be enough for everyone to choose from. Have you encountered this?
 
I am curious.... when you have 50 folks coming, are you responsible for feeding them all?

Or does the hostess provide stuff and you just do a demo.

Love,
Rachel

What I am thinking is doing one recipe, really just a sampling for everyone (doubled or tripled) she is handling the rest of the food.
