morraine, I was thinking of catering lunch at the function room, then prepare finger foods, fruit and drinks also at the home. when pple come, they will come to the home because the caterer woudl not have set up the food yet (I will request the caterer to set up at 11am). The food will also remain for 3 hours before the caterer comes to collect again. So they shld collect it at 2pm. The thing is the function room at my place has a booking time slot - 11am to 2pm, 3pm to 6pm, and 7am to 10am. so the best time slot is actually 11am to 2pm.
So, 10am to 2pm, friends will be around. 12noon to 3pm, relatives will be around.
there will be food in function room from 11am to 2pm.
From 10am onwards, there will be snacks and drinks at the home.
Matthew will be in the home at all times. Cake cutting will be at home.
you think this will work?
