Bridal showers should focus on two things: the bride to be and FOOD! Believe it or not, food is actually the highlight of any event, so depending on the theme of your bridal shower, there are a variety of different ideas to consider for incorporating good food for the guests. Here are some ideas that might get you started thinking about what you will serve at the bridal shower itself:
o Appetizers - Heavy appetizers are acceptable if you are having a mid-to-late afternoon shower. Stuffed mushrooms, crab cakes, shrimp cocktail, nachos, egg rolls, quiche, different dips/dipping items, etc., are all great ideas that might get you started.
o Buffet Style- Buffet style dinners are great and generally "no fuss". Guests can serve themselves and the options are virtually endless! Baked chicken, ham, roast beef, or salmon, depending on the bride's tastes, are all great options. Sides can include rice pilaf, pasta salad, twice baked potatoes, a salad or cole slaw, steamed veggies, and other side dishes that complement the main meat item are also great ideas to incorporate.
o Sandwiches/BBQ - This is a great budget friendly option. It can also coordinate with "tea time" bridal showers!
o Themed dinner - Mexican, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, or Americana-whatever the theme-incorporate that type of food along with it!
Of course, there are other factors to planning a great bridal shower! Arlene Pecora features tips and tricks for coordinating the bridal party of the year!
