Planning A Baby Shower Menu That Everyone Will Remember
Having a party for an expectant mother is a wonderful way to let her know that you care
, and planning the perfect baby shower menu will ensure that your party is a hit. After all, the food is the most important part of any formal get together.
A baby shower requires a lot of planning and quite a bit of prep work. The part that everyone will remember is the food and by planning the perfect menu it is likely that their memories will be good.
There will be many things to consider before setting up the menu such as how many people are coming, what type of food preferences everyone has, and your time restrictions. Once you have figured those things out you will be ready to plan your baby shower.
Menu ideas
Deciding on the right baby shower menu is the most important part of the party. The important thing is to make it fun and give everyone plenty of choices.
Do remember to find out what everyone likes and plan something for both vegetarians and others who have special eating needs. It is also important to find out if anyone has specific food allergies. Someone with an allergic reaction could cause a lot of problems during your party. There are many options to choose from for your party menu.
For the appetizer: You need to choose wisely with this one since it is the first thing that your guests will be eating. There are many lovely options that you can serve like cream cheese filled tortilla roll ups that are great cut up into small pinwheels, dip and cut up vegetables, spinach dip with either tortilla chips or pitas, and of course an all time favorite of most people like chips and salsa. Don't forget to get mild for the mommy to be so you don't send her home with heartburn and indigestion.
How about some punch: Although you can easily serve some coffee, tea, or soda at the shower, the main drink will likely be the punch. White grape punch is a good choice as is a delicious sherbet punch with pineapple juice and any sherbet you choose.
For a more customized punch you can make a punch that is a color reflecting the sex of the baby. For a girl you can combine some sort of soda with pink lemonade and raspberry sherbet, or for a boy you could do any type of blue raspberry drink and ice cubes made of blue juice.
Fabulous salads: Chicken salad is one of the most versatile choices for the main dish to your party. You can add some sesame noodles and mandarin orange slices to make it into a Chinese version or try some grapes and apples to give it a Waldorf type taste. Either choice will be quite tasty.
The cake: This is the centerpiece of your shower. Consider the sex of the baby or the theme of the nursery when purchasing a cake. Some bakeries have several premade designs that you might want to choose from, or you may want to have a specially customized cake that will go well with the theme of the party.
Baby showers are fabulous and a great way for everyone to show the expectant mother their support. Planning a good menu will make the entire day just perfect.
