Bridal Shower Food Ideas You Can Put To Use
When it comes to picking out which cuisine will grace your bridal shower, you have several options. First, imagine what type of food would go with your shower theme: spicy, home cooked, finger foods, decadence...etc? Take that vision of the perfect party food and weight your options of getting it there.
Catering
When life's getting too busy to balance, you can always have someone else cook for you! Perhaps the catering company doing the wedding can provide food for the shower at a discounted price. Keep the food light, not too heavy or time consuming to eat, as people will want to spend more time chatting it up than cutting through their food. Catering is also great, because the host won't have to wash all her serving platters when the party is done!
Designate-A-Dish
This is a great idea, because not only is the host not footing a catering bill, but you'll get a fantastic, colorful and eclectic assortment of food! The host of the shower simply gets in touch with everyone who has confirmed they will be attending, and ask them to make a dish. Make sure that you're not forcing someone who really isn't a fan of cooking to make something. This usually results in them buying something store-bought, and isn't quite as thoughtful or tasty. Just make sure your chefs aren't all making the same thing, of course nothing is wrong with a few extra desserts!
Home Cooked
This can surely be a stressful option if not planned carefully. If you decide to cook all the food yourself, you'll definitely get all the food you want, the way you want it prepared. Consider designating a helper and try to prepare as much as you can the night before. Pulled pork and other slow cooked entrées are great for do-it-yourselfers. Things like gelatin salads, cakes, pies, casseroles, devilled eggs and vegetable trays can all be prepared the day before. Consider getting heavy-duty paper plates and plastic serving platters so the piles of dishes at the end of the day aren't overwhelming.
So there you have it, three options to create meals to satisfy your hungry guests at your bridal shower. Remember to keep it simple, thoughtful and of course...delicious!
