What Do You Cater for a Baby Shower?
With most events, guests expect to eat good food;
therefore, catering for baby showers is essential. Thankfully, we are here to
handle this difficult task for you. We offer a wide selection of offerings for catering
that can fit everyone’s unique wants and needs. Typically, you can expect to
see a wide range of foods at a baby shower, from delicious finger foods to
healthy vegetable and fruit options.
Of course, the wants and needs of your guests play a
role in what you choose to cater. Luckily, delicious options for everyone’s
different tastes. Finger foods such as ham, turkey, or chicken sandwiches are
likely to be enjoyed by your guest; these sandwiches come in many more flavor
and meat combinations.
Fruits and
vegetables are another great option for catering as they are delicious and
healthy. Grapes, apples, and other fresh fruits can give your baby shower a
more lively and organic feel and surround your future blessing with good habits
before they're even born.
For those with a sweet tooth, brownies, cupcakes, and
candies make great choices and can help fill any cravings that arise at your
baby shower. For more formal baby showers, options such as cheese plates, fruit
salads, meatball sliders, and deviled eggs all make great choices for guests. A
significant but underappreciated part of your celebration can often be the
drinks; guests must stay hydrated, and catering options such as tropical punch,
cold water, and sweet tea can enhance the experience of your baby shower.
What
Kind of Appetizers Do I need at a Baby Shower?
Those looking to separate their catering into sections
to provide their guest with appetizers and entrées have an abundance of
selections from which to choose. Finger foods make great appetizers; sandwich
wraps, mini sandwiches, fruit slices, deviled eggs, and kebabs are colorful and
tasty choices that can keep your guest happy. It's easy to go overboard and
cater more food than needed. Between four to eight appetizers per person are
perfect, based on the number of guests and how long they will receive their
appetizers before the main meal. Baby showers can go very well only using
appetizers but if guests are looking for a bigger meal to wrap up the
celebration, salads and pasta are a sendoff meal and can be given to guests
before they depart. Most guests only need appetizers alone; therefore, entrees
are rare for baby showers. Those planning their baby showers should look for
foods and desserts replicable as finger foods. Allowing guests to have meals
they enjoy at a smaller scale that fits a baby shower.
How
Much Food Do You Need at a Baby Shower?
The number of guests determines how much food one
should cater for their baby shower. Most guests want to take food with them
following a baby shower making planning more difficult. Always be sure to get
slightly more food than you’d need to ensure that guests are satisfied when
it’s time to leave. Of course, the details and numbers are a more difficult
task; thankfully, we’ll be glad to do the brunt of the work for you.
