3 bean salad would be great, it's one of my faves! You can bring any appies you want, we can set those out during the day, and hopefully, as Donna says, the weather will be nice and we can sit outside all day.
Michelle, desserts will be perfect, though you can make your cupcakes ahead of time and frost them just before serving if you don't want them to get smooshed. Any desserts are always welcome!
Yes, there are stores nearby, no shortage of them!
Heidi, we probably won't need paper cups, since all rooms have cups and glasses and such, but paper plates, napkins and the like would be perfect, especially for snacks during the day. If you'd like to bring any snack food like chips and dips, we can set them out during the day for people to nosh on while visiting. That would be perfect, and easy for you to transport!
Thanks everyone, for your help, we are going to have so much fun!
