Bridal Shower Food Ideas

There's so much you can have where food is concerned for a bridal shower and so much that you can't. So the easiest thing to do is to get what you can't have out of the way. The bride comes first so knock off whatever she can't or won't have. Then cut out anything that could cause allergies, just in case somehow has some kind of food allergy. You could also check discreetly and find out if any of the guests do have any food allergies and if so, what they need to avoid.

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 you or the bride prefer to have it in the evening, a casserole might be a good idea because you could circulate while it is cooking or heating up. It could always be made earlier and you could heat it just before you serve it. You could also consider lasagna and have a great big salad to go with it. For an evening do, food like this is great because you can do everything ahead of time and you don't have to be around in the kitchen when the guests walk in. You could also have a smoked or a grilled dish and just take an occasional peek into the kitchen while it is cooking.

Do try and find out before the party if anyone is a vegan or a vegetarian so that you can serve up food to suit them too. For a casserole or lasagna, all you need to do is make a vegetarian option as well and you could also check the Internet for recipes.

Cake is traditionally served as a dessert at a bridal shower. Many people today though are moving away from tradition so feel free to break away and have something different as a dessert. You could consider offering pies or fresh fruit. What about a chocolate fountain as a centerpiece. These can be easily rented for the evening.

Maybe you would prefer something lighter. Finger food is great. You can have a table filled with plenty of light bites that people can just help themselves to, thus enabling them to walk around and talk to the others. Some ideas to serve are cheese and crackers, dips, tiny muffins and similar items.

Choosing the right food will mean a great bridal or wedding shower. The choice lies with you and the bride.
