Baby Shower Food Ideas

Baby Shower Food Ideas, for your baby shower food menu (or any party menu, for that matter), that all of your guests will enjoy and rave about for months!



baby-shower-food-ideas-1spacer


Great ideas to use for any party, get-together, or celebration!

Simple recipes are best for Mom-To-Be if she’s experiencing the indigestion and stomach upset that we all go through during pregnancy. So consult with Mom-To-Be and ask her what she would prefer to have on the menu.

But ... that doesn’t mean you can’t include some spicy favorites for everyone else as well. A nice balance of both will have Mom-To-Be and your guests raving for months!

Keep in mind how much time you have to spend on preparing baby shower foods, the type of guests you’re inviting, how many guests you’re inviting, the theme, the time of day and most importantly, do you have a co-host or friend to help you prepare the food. Whew ... keep that baby shower planning guide list handy!

Select foods that compliment each other. Keep a theme, whether it’s cultural, ie. Asian, Mexican, French or just a Back Yard Grill!

Tip: When serving meat or seafood, always have an alternative meat/dairy-free dish, for your baby shower food ideas, if you’ve invited any vegetarian or vegan friends.

Some Baby Shower Food Ideas:

  • If you’re having a casual baby shower of close friends and family, you may want to have everyone bring a dish. This saves on preparation time for You. Or, have everyone bring a side dish and you make the main course! Make a list of baby shower foods, and give each guest a couple of options from which to choose. You can stick to a theme, or make it a “pot luck”!

  • A morning or brunch baby shower finger foods with a light touch, such as bagels, pastries, muffins, croissants and a variety of meats and cheeses are perfect. A fruit bowl or fruit salad compliments this well. Provide coffee, tea and juices for drinks.

  • For an afternoon baby shower finger foods and a salad or soup options works great! Have iced tea, punch, soda on hand in regular, and diet as well.

  • An evening shower could include a main entrée and several side dishes. Buffet style is best so that you can spend time with your guests. Remember … non-alcoholic, or “Virgin” beverages for Mom-To-Be! Again, this is the perfect opportunity to get the men involved by having a BBQ!

Tip: Crock pots are a wonderful thing! If you’re making soup, chili, or hot appetizers, they make cooking and serving an all-in-one task!
