Bridal Shower Fun Food

When planning food for a bridal shower, there are plenty of things that you can serve. Likewise, there are some things that should be avoided. The center of attraction is obviously the bride. So find out what she likes best and what she doesn't like. Refrain from serving foods that can trigger off allergies. Ask the guests if they have any food allergies or special diets so they can be omitted.

Now for the fun part. Presumably you have a theme for the bridal shower so try and see that at least a few of the dishes fit into this. Besides that, a good idea would be to have a brunch party, preferably on a Sunday so it could stretch into a long, lazy afternoon. If it is informal, that would be nice because it will give all the guests a chance to move around and get to know each other. You could have a corner of fresh breads and another of fresh fruits. A lot of people have been serving bite size quiche and this could be a great idea. You could have the drinks counter on one side with a punch and cocktails as well as fresh fruit juices and coffee. Fruit based desserts like strawberries that are chocolate coated and lemon squares could finish it off quite well.

If an evening shower is preferable, then a casserole is perfect. You can mingle whilst it is cooking. Better still. a casserole can be prepared beforehand. All you need to do is to heat and serve. Another idea is lasagna, served up with a bowl of green salad. Food like this is great for an evening do as it can be made up earlier in the day. It means you're not stuck in the kitchen as your guests arrrive. If that is too heavy a meal then a smoked or grilled dish can be served. It only takes an occasional peek in the kitchen whilst it is cooking.

Before the party, ensure that any vegan or vegetarian guests are catered for. Offer a vegetable alternative casserole or lasagna. The Internet has lots of vegetarian recipes

Cake could be the dessert considering it is a bridal shower. But so many wedding showers today do not follow customs that are traditional so you can feel free to break tradition and have some other desserts. Maybe a table of different desserts or a choice of pies or fruits along with cake. A chocolate fountain can be easily rented to make for a great centerpiece.

Finger food may be preferred as a lighter alternative. A table laid out with light bites is a great idea. People can just walk up and help themselves and still be able to converse with the other guests. Things like crackers and cheese or dips and tiny muffins are a good choice.

Ultimately the choice rests on you and the bride but by choosing the right food will ensure you have a great bridal or wedding shower.
