Planning A Baby Shower Menu That Everyone Will Remember

By:


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.

Having a party means lots of planning and plenty of preparation. The most memorable part is always the food so you will want to have a great menu.


Some things that you will want to think about as you arrange the menu. Consider what type of foods that you want to serve, how much time you have to prepare it, and if anyone is on a special diet. After you have all those questions answered then you can begin choosing the foods that you want to serve.

The Perfect Menu

The menu is the basis of the entire party and you want to make it spectacular. Remember to allow for some fun and try to have something for everybody.

One way to ensure that you have chosen the right variety of foods is to find out a little about all of your guests likes and dislikes. Another important factor is if one of them has a specific food allergy. You don't want to prepare something with nuts in it if a guest could have a reaction to it. That is a sure fire recipe for disaster. There is a wide variety of food options that will easily suit any guest.

Picking the appetizers: This is one of the most important aspects of your menu and it will likely set the tone for your entire menu. There are several great food choices including cream cheese and tortilla roll ups that you can add either meat or vegetable to, any type of vegetables with dip, spinach and artichoke dip that can be served with pita chips, and the standard party food of chips and salsa. The latter option should include a mild dip since the mother to be could easily get heartburn.

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.

Some women know what the sex of their baby is and if this is the case you can serve a colored punch that reflects this fact. Use pink lemonade or blue raspberry drink along with some ginger ale to give it a little kick.

Make salad: One of the most easy and versatile main dishes are salad. You could make a Chinese chicken salad that will include mandarin oranges and sesame noodles, or you can even make a luscious chicken salad with apples and grapes. Both types have a great nutritional value and are versatile enough that you can easily accommodate the dietary needs of your guests.

Choosing a cake: Of course the main food to any baby shower would be the cake. If you have a set theme for the party then get a cake that reflects that, but if not then you might want to choose one of the options given at the bakery.

Throwing a great party is easy when you plan ahead, and with the perfect baby shower menu yours is sure to be a success.
