Bridal Shower Foods
The bridal shower takes a great deal of planning if you want to have the perfect event. From the theme to the decorations to the games to the food you have to plan everything carefully for the best outcome and enjoyable time for everyone.
The food at the bridal shower is one of the focuses for some people. They want to have something to eat the minute they walk in the door even if it is only pretzels or chips. The way to have the right foods is to incorporate the theme into the foods without taking from the decorations or celebration.
Simple snacks and finger foods will feed the guests without making them too full and uncomfortable. They need to be alert for the gift opening and games.
Some of the simple foods can be small sandwiches fresh fruit and vegetables pretzels chips mints and nuts. Dress up the platters with colorful decorations for a prettier presentation. Doilies make a great decoration that will also absorb the moisture in the foods.
For a more sophisticated event the finger foods can be shelled cold shrimp watercress sandwiches small chicken sandwiches egg salad sandwiches tuna salad sandwiches and small mini-muffins or cakes.
Depending on the theme the foods can be centered on the type of theme. A country theme can have small apple fritters or pumpkin muffins. The nautical theme can have the fish flavored sandwiches.
When you coordinate the foods with the theme you are allowing your guests eat leisurely while still paying attention to other guests and the happenings of the shower. They can easily eat the foods without missing anything at the shower.
Decide if you want to make the food yourself or pay for a caterer. The catering can be expensive while making the food dishes will be more time consuming. It all depends on what you want to spend time or money.
