Fun & Affordable Baby Shower Menu Ideas
Below are some quick and easy baby shower snack ideas that will totally impress guests and jazz up your baby shower menu:
Chocolate Dipped Pretzels:
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!
Chocolate Dipped Oreos:
Easy & popular baby shower food idea: 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!
Baby Shower Sugar Cookies:
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!
Baby Shower Sandwiches:
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 - 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!
Easy Baby Shower Appetizers & Finger Foods:
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, then 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 event!
