BTW: I have made the mini doll cakes at several bridal showers and they always get rave reviews. I have sold a lot of prep bowls to moms who want to make them for their daughters' birthday parties. :balloon:chefheidi2003 said:Beth I love this cake idea. Sometimes I am not sure who is more clever you or Ann. LOL.
Speaking of seasoned I have a question for you Ann: You have a wealth of knowledge and are so willing to share and help others. Why are you not a director yet? Are you asking everyone? Come on girl! You can do it! Spend 15 minutes a day less on here and use that time to call potentials and I bet you can get over to Director Chef Success in no time! :love:chefann said:
It's a fear thing. I'm conflicted about the recognition, hate making calls (I don't even call to order pizza) and am really lazy.BethCooks4U said:
DH hates that I do PC, and I can't see that changing if I have to spend more time supporting a team (he already complains about me lending out products and doing supply exchanges with the gals currently on my team). And I also don't see him being thrilled with me quitting my day job, even if I replace the income (and that'll take some doing). Well, that's true. At least I have a head start on posts there - but you'd have to stay away for.... I don't know - not that long ago you caught up with me here and look where your number is!chefann said:It's a fear thing.

Besides, we'll let you have more posts than me over there.
For a Halloween-themed bridal shower, consider using decorations like black and orange balloons, spider web tablecloths, and pumpkin centerpieces. Incorporate elements like ghostly garlands, witch hats, and themed candles to create a spooky yet festive atmosphere. Don't forget to add some fall foliage for a seasonal touch!
Serve fun Halloween-themed foods such as pumpkin-shaped cookies, "witches' brew" punch, and spooky cheese platters with ghost-shaped crackers. You can also create a dessert table featuring cupcakes decorated with Halloween motifs, like spiders and bats. Incorporating seasonal flavors like pumpkin spice and caramel apple can enhance the theme.
Include Halloween-themed games such as "Pin the Hat on the Witch," a spooky trivia quiz about the couple, or a Halloween-themed bingo game featuring bridal shower gifts. You can also have a costume contest where guests dress up in their favorite Halloween attire, adding an interactive and fun element to the celebration.
Consider giving guests Halloween-themed favors like mini pumpkin candles, personalized jars of candy corn, or small bottles of potpourri with spooky labels. Other ideas include custom cookies shaped like ghosts or bats, or small potted succulents decorated with Halloween-themed tags. These favors will leave a lasting impression on your guests!
Design your invitations with a Halloween flair by using colors like black, orange, and purple. Incorporate fun graphics such as pumpkins, ghosts, or witches. You can also use playful language that reflects the theme, such as "Join us for a spooktacular bridal shower!" Make sure to include all essential details like date, time, location, and RSVP information.
Sorry, Ann but you know it's true. :love:
