Boxed Lunches for Retro Bridal shower

As I was imagining the whole food set-up for this shower, I envisioned boxed lunches. I wasn't sure yet what would go in them , but we needed a way to keep food costs down without sacrificing style or quality. Several ladies were going to arrive hungry , so I knew I had to rise to the occasion. Jenny and I ( the hostess ) decided to order several $5.00 foot-long sandwiches from Subway, we cut them into quarters, speared them with heart picks (Martha Stewart, Walmart) added chips, tied up with yarn , a napkin, and a bride/groom pick and BOOM! Adorable boxed lunches!...Ready to serve!

Boxed lunches stacked neatly on the food table.

I found the cutest bride and groom picks at Plumparty.com to decorate the top of each box.

Each row was labeled with the kind of sandwich in each boxed lunch so that guests could choose.

I folded a colorful napkin, and tied up a pick with blue and green yarn.

Here's what the inside of each one looked like.

Sweet Bargain!

Andy Warhol Plates

I fell in love with these Andy Warhol appetizer plates from CB2 when I first saw them! Especially the "I think everybody should like everybody" quote.

A party is kind of a way to show off your friends, as well as celebrate with them! Celebrate your friends with a pop-art design inspired by Mr. Warhol himself!

Love love LOVE! Check it out!
