Baby Shower Menu

Creating a baby shower menu can be a tad tricky. Have you considered the mom-to-be’s dietary restrictions? Cravings? The figure conscious guests? On top of it all, you still want it to be fun and elegant, right? We have some ideas for you…

The sweet pea theme for a baby shower is darling if done right! Adorable for a boy or girl, these cupcake wrappers are hand painted elegance to use in so many ways for your baby shower. Beautiful for the cupcakes, of course, but also on single serve salad cups. This amazing do-ahead menu item is healthful, pretty, and easy. Just layer the ingredients in the cups beginning with the salad dressing on the bottom. The guests can toss their own salad right in the cup, and the lettuce won’t get mushy with the dressing on the bottom.

Here are some other tried and true menu items that will keep everyone happy.

* Bruschetta- easy to make or buy the toppings ahead of time, and toast the bread just before the shower.

* Fruit kebabs with fruit dip. The fruit looks so elegant on wooden lollipop sticks, and can be made in advance as well. Tasty dips are easy to find or make yourself.

* Yogurt parfaits- healthful, and can even be served for guests to build their own. Just offer the cups, granola, nuts, and fruits. Clear plastic cups skirted with Sweet Pea cupcake wrappers are great for this menu item as well.

* For the protein, a smoked salmon tray is so elegant and easy. Just serve a tray of salmon with cream cheese, a few capers and lemon wedges. Crackers on the side will finish the presentation.

Cupcakes on the baby shower menu are a great way to avoid a messy cake that needs to be cut. You can make your own cupcake tower in minutes, and those precious Sweet Pea cupcake wrappers are great for cupcakes, too!
