Baby Shower Menu Ideas
to Impress Your Hungry Guests

Okay, fess up...we all go to events such as baby showers, weddings, parties, etc. with the thought of eating some great food dancing in our heads.

This may not be our main reason for attending, but it is always a nice incentive! Below are tons of great recipe selections, designed to make your baby shower a success!

Make your guests happy by filling their tummy's with some tasty cuisine!

Remember to keep it simple. You wear many hats as the baby shower hostess. The last thing you want is to be stuck in the kitchen cooking all day.

Most of our menu ideas can be made the night before and easily assembled the morning of the baby shower. Be sure to scroll down the page a bit... I made some FREE printable recipe cards for you!

{FREE Printable Recipe Cards}

I made these free printable recipe cards for you! Click on the picture above to easily download and print - comes in green, pink and blue - all 3 colors are included.

There are a couple of ways that you can incorporate these printable recipe cards into your baby shower:

1) Print them out onto white card stock • cut out • tuck in invitation and have guests bring their favorite easy-to-make recipe for the new mom.

2) Or write down your favorite cookie recipe and attach the recipe cards to homemade cookies that have been bundled in a cute bag - hand out to guests as baby shower favors.

(note: these cards are non-customizable - you will have to fill them out using a pen)

Below are some quick and easy tips that will totally impress guests and jazz up your baby shower menu:

• Dip pretzels (any shape or kind that you choose: rods, twists, sticks, etc) into white chocolate (CandiQuik is the easiest to work with), Sprinkle with colored sugar or themed sprinkles, lay out to dry on waxed paper. These are so yummy and really make a cute presentation! You can even color the white chocolate with a bit of food coloring to match the baby shower theme!
• Dip Oreos into melted chocolate and follow the instructions for the pretzels! You can even insert lollipop sticks or skewers into the Oreos (through the side up into the creme filling) and serve on sticks. Poke the sticks into a block of floral foam that has been covered in cute paper!
• Make sugar cookies that match the theme of the baby shower. Frost and bundle up into cute bag and give away as a simple and affordable baby shower favor that everyone will love!
• Another quick and easy baby shower menu idea is to cut sandwiches into baby-themed shapes using cookie cutters.(We once hosted a "Moon & Stars" baby shower and cut the sandwiches into moon shapes - then we cut little stars out of colorful scrapbook paper, attached them to toothpicks and poked them into the sandwiches. It was so simple to do and made such a cute presentation!
• Toss grape tomatoes and mini mozzarella balls or slices into olive oil and balsamic vinegar and then place them onto a skewer adding basil leaves. Start with cheese, them basil, then tomato - and repeat. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. These are so easy to make! Guests love these and they will all be gobbled up!
• Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts - These are so yummy! Even those that are not water chestnut fans will love them! Start off by frying up some bacon (until it's about half way done) and wrap around water chestnuts that have been lightly brushed with BBQ sauce. Secure with a toothpick and then place in a 350 degree oven until the bacon is completely cooked. You can soak the toothpicks in water ahead of time so they don't burn while in the oven.

  These are just a few quick baby shower menu ideas to add a whole new level of cuteness to your baby shower!
