I’ve come up with a list of fabulous food for your Bridal Shower. We’ve done all of these within my group of friends, and they were each a big hit! (You could also use these ideas for Baby Showers.)
Food
Options
Waffle or pancake action
station: Borrow waffle makers or electric skillets
and serve with tons of toppings: fruit, chocolate chips,
real maple syrup, whipped cream, nuts, ice cream
Cupcake Buffets: Make
your own or purchase from one of our local cupcake
superstars, Sweet Mandy B’s, Swirlz, Sugar
Bliss, or Molly’s Cupcakes. Arrange on our
cute cupcake holders and serve with a dry champagne.
Mediterranean: Serve your guests a spread
of pitas and falafel with hummus, tabouleh, chicken
schwerma, stuffed grape leaves, baba ghannoug. Yum!
Pasta Party: Make a bunch of types of pasta
and sauces. Let the guests mix and match to create their
favorite combinations. Don’t forget plenty of wine!
Panini Station: Borrow some panini makers
from friends and bring all of your favorite fixins for the
smashed sammies. Include homemade breads from Red Hen or Panera
for extra deliciousness.
Tea Party: Have all of the hostesses bring
their favorite tea pot and tea. Make crustless sandwiches
with cucumber, cream cheese, and other English treats. Get
scones from Tipsy Cake in Humbolt Park.
Wine and Cheese: For a casual shower later
in the day, this is a great option. Talk to Tracy at Provenance for the perfect pairings.
Kid’s Food: Mac and Cheese, Ants on a
Log, Chocolate Chip cookies and milk, PB&J without
crust, and chicken fingers would make adorable food for a
baby shower.
Local Favorites: Hit up the farmer’s
market for the freshest ingredients. This is a great
addition to a “Green Shower.”Her
favorite restaurant: If it is within reason, have
her favorite restaurant cater the shower. She’ll be so
excited!
Yum!
