When it comes to baby showers, the food is often neglected or taken for granted. Planners tend to focus more on the theme, d?cor, and other planning ideas and food is the last thing to be thought of. Though each component of a baby shower is important, the food has always been on the short end. Preparation should be done for everything whether it?s the theme, guest invites, program, decorations, and especially the food.
If done well, the food could end up being the most memorable thing at the baby shower. You can amuse the guests with a wide variety of flavor and texture from different dishes. To help you in this whole journey, here are some baby shower food ideas and tips.
The first thing you should do is to make a decision on whether or not you want the shower to be catered by a food company or prepared by the family. If you hire a catering company, they will prepare the food and make sure it is delivered at your venue on time. The only thing you have to worry about is for the caterer to show up and prepare the food.
There?s always special about preparing home-cooked meals. In many ways, the party gets more intimate because you know that the food is cooked from the heart. In the baby shower, you can ask other family members to come up with favorite dishes that the mother-to-be prefers. This is also a chance to serve signature family dishes that will bring back loads of memories. Since they are done by the family, you can be sure of the quality and the flavors. A disadvantage that people rarely see in catering services is that the food is usually of low-quality because they focus more on quantity and big servings. It?s always up to if you want to cook the food yourself or hire someone else. In both choices, you have to consider the costs and the food itself.
After you decide what to do, it?s time for you to make a list all the food you are going to serve in the baby shower.? Think about all the dishes starting from the appetizers, then the entrees, and finally the desserts. When it comes to baby shower food ideas you need to focus more on finger foods. Big plated servings aren?t really common when it comes to showers because you need food that can be easily eaten by guests.
Among the food you can serve are mini burgers, thin crust pizza slices, bruschetta, cookies, cupcakes, and cakes. To help you narrow down the choices, you can always go back to the theme. If the theme was Mexican for example, you can serve mini burritos, tacos, chorizo, and many more. For almost any theme, you can serve a tray filled with an assortment of fruits and vegetables and dip. A platter of broccoli, celery, tomatoes, asparagus, strawberry, grape, melon, and mango is perfect for sharing.
As you can see, you can have fun with all your baby shower food ideas. Food is important in any type of party and that includes a baby shower. Planning for the program, decorations, theme, or any other component of the party shouldn?t be excuses for you not to come up with witty food ideas.
