BABY SHOWER FOOD

Baby shower ideas are your first step in planning the baby shower after or during the process of deciding where and when the baby shower will take place. Below we have listed the essentials of baby shower ideas to help make your baby shower a success. We cover the ideas of Baby Shower Themes, Decorations, Food and Beverages to help make the planning of the baby shower a little easier on you:

Baby Shower Finger Foods

The baby shower menu helps make the party memorable. The assortment of food you choose and its presentation shows how much effort you put into planning the baby shower. If you're hosting the baby shower at a restaurant or are catering the baby shower, the restaurant or caterer will help you choose appetizers and entrées appropriate to the baby shower theme and the time of the day that the shower begins. If you're hosting the baby shower at a home, Baby Shower 101 has assembled some helpful tips for easy finger foods and beverages. Click here for finger food recipes.

Baby Shower Idea
Diapers filled with dinner mints or your favorite finger foods (for serving shower guests)
Items needed are pink or blue small baby shower napkins --1 bag small(est) safety pins(gold)-- bags of pastel colored mints or your favorite candy/food. Take a small napkin folding together two of the edged corners so that they are touching. Then bring up the third edged corner of the napkin to meet the two gathered corners. Pinning the three together likening to the shape of a diaper. We thank Mrs. Stilley for a wonderful baby shower food decoration idea. Check out the rest below:

Fresh Fruit
Fruit is an easy food to serve that everyone likes as an appetizer, with the meal or even with desert. Buy and cut your favorite fruits up into squares or you can buy fruit salad from your local grocery store to save you some work. Served cubed in a large bowl or mix fruits on skewers and serve on a platter. Click here for fresh fruit salad and dip recipes.

Vegetables
Vegetables are another easy food to serve as appetizers or with the baby shower meal. As with fruit, you can cut up celery, broccoli, cauliflower, baby carrots, and other favorites or you can find vegetable trays at the market. Serve chilled with ranch dressing or make your own dips to impress your guests.

Finger Sandwiches
Cucumber sandwiches are the baby shower #1 favorite sandwich because they're frequently served at showers with an Afternoon Tea theme. You have some flexibility with the type of sandwich you serve; just make sure to cut the sandwiches into dainty portions.
