We used Harner's Bakery in North Aurora, WONDERFUL bakery, everything is homemade. We did a sandwich platter, salads from them and then a wonderful strawberry whipped cream cake for our twins 2nd birthday, Food was enough, tasty and affordable.

Hi L.,

Portillos does a really great job. I have been to several parties where they used Portillos for the food, and is was excellent. It is kid friendly as well as more adult food too. It seems there is something for everyone. Good luck.

Hi L.,

Mu family owns a Resturant and Catering buisness. They are erally good. I am not just saying that because its family. Pat Bruno from the Suntimes ate there and wrote a great review about them. Its in Melrose Park, not around the corner, but worth it and they do deliver.

Caputo's just opened up in Naperville and they do an excellent job. You can order it online and pick it up. www.shopcaputos.com, it was reasonibly priced and the food was excellent.
I ordered a meal plan and just added a couple pounds of their cut up fruit and it more than enough food.

I shopped at Costco and got crescent sandwich trays and salads, potato chips, cookies, and made my own cheese and fruit tray all for under $100 when I had my daughter's first birthday. It was a huge hit.

Keep it simple - as it is, your daughter will be wired from all of the anxiety of people, toys and lots of talking and pictures.

Hi there; don't know if it's further than you're looking for, but we've used and love Chef James' Place and Moveable Feast, both right in Geneva... close by and EXCELLENT. Give them a try; they're awesome. MF was the one Oprah loves. :-)

Hi L.,
Cuomo Catering is fantastic and extremely reasonable. They offer a huge variety of foods ideas as well. My friends and I all use them for for family parties, b-day parties, holidays etc. They are located in Northlake but deliver everywhere. You can look at their menu online. I believe their phone # is ###-###-####.
Happy 1st b-day to Madeline!

We used Buona Beef last year for my son's bday party and people raved about it! They have an extensive catering menu and are very reasonable. You can also speak with someone about substitutions if you wish. I had a few vegetarians at the party and was able to sub grilled vegetable sandwiches in one of the platters at no cost.
