For my sister's bridal shower a few years ago we served the following:
Fried Chicken
Potato Salad
Biscuits
Watermelon
Corn on the cob
Green salad
Caprese salad
and Pie for desert
Except for the chicken (and we'll cut that bridesmaid some slack because fried chicken for sixty is no easy trick and she got it at a very good place) everything was made with our own little hands. We bought most of the produce at farm stands. The bridesman (we're all sorts of nontraditional) who made the pies is known for them.
People went BANANAS. They still talk about the food at that party. It was just simple somewhat fattening food prepared with care. Most of them hadn't had it in years.
(And for the record: The type and peel-state of our potatoes varies, but the key is marinating them in vinaigrette overnight and mixing up the salad with very little mayo.)
