Bridal Shower for 20-25

[livinitup]

If you were attending a shower, in someone's home, in June, and they started with this:

Baked clam dip with crackers
Veggies and dip

Assorted sandwiches
Tomatoes, Mozzerelle over mixed green salad

Would you rather:

Cold sides like-
Pasta salad, Potatoe salad

Or fancy hot sides like:
Lasagna rolls or Penne a la vodka

??

I can do either - I'm just trying to decide if people would rather things that go well with the sandwiches, or something a little heavier as a "main" dish.

I'd prefer the cold sides

Cold sides.

[Grimmy]

I think pasta/potato salad is definitely filling enough. I'd go with cold sides.

[RoxMonster]

Cold sides would be fine.

[FastHands]

Cold.

[lolo]

I'd prefer warm, but I don't like either of those cold side options.

Depends on the weather.

If it's cooler where you are, I'd ditch the sandwiches and make a pasta main dish and green salad.

If it's warmer, do cold salads.

this. I don't see lasagna or pasta as a SIDE. That is the main dish!

I'd do the cold sides.

Cold for sure.

[dexteroni]

Definitely cold. And you didn't ask this, but I would also replace the hot clam dip with something cold, like spinach artichoke. And I would add a fruit salad.

Cold sides

The hot "sides" sound delicious to me so I'm leaning that way even though I agree they aren't really sides in my circle. Nevertheless, I want creamy penne a la vodka this instant.

[thinkofthesoldiers]

The thought of hot clam dip is turning my stomach.

[Deleted]

cold is better but I don't like potato salad or many versions of pasta salad.

Why not just make the pasta as a main dish? No sandwiches needed.
