Baby shower food items are one of
most important features of
baby shower. When guests arrive at a baby shower they are expecting food that includes desserts, appetizers, and baby shower finger food. You don’t really have to plan an entire meal, it isn't really expected at this kind of event. When you are planning a shower you will want to have a wide selection of baby shower party foods on hand. This is going to keep your guests around long enough to enjoy
games and gift opening.
You can be as elaborate as possible or keep things simple and manageable for yourself. If you are planning a meal you’ll want to start with some baby shower appetizers. Then you can move onto
main meal, followed by a selection of desserts. If you want to keep
food a bit more simple you can plan to serve a variety of appetizers, baby shower finger foods and desserts.
If
baby shower food menu is going to be a selection of foods that are eaten by your guests throughout
party, you may want to prepare a side table to reflect
baby shower theme. Decorate
table so that
baby shower desserts are featured in
center surrounded by
other food choices spread out to
side.
You may want to prepare only baby shower finger food so that there is no need for
guests to juggle cutlery and plates while visiting with each other.
Baby shower food items are often prepared as part of
theme. If
baby is a girl you can prepare desserts that reflect this by using pink as a primary decorating color. This means decorating cakes and cookies with a pink icing, then adding decorative touches that continue in a pink theme.
If
baby is a boy you can concentrate on blue and green colors when preparing
babyshower food. There are available recipes for cakes, cookies, appetizers, and much more. You could check out your local library, book store and online to check out recipes and recipe books on babyshower food ideas.
The baby shower appetizers can be made in replacement of a full meal that you might otherwise serve. Baby shower appetizers can be as complicated as baked spring rolls or as simple as rolled sandwiches cut into bite size pieces.
