Food for baby shower?

What kind of food was (or will be) served at your shower? We are having it at someones house and we were thinking finger foods would be best.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I had a Brunch at a Restaurant.

I think it depends on time of day and how many hours the party will be.

Re: Food for baby shower?

The shower is going to be at 2pm on a Sunday.

mine is at an italian restaurant- so we're having all my favorites- eggplant parm, chicken marsala, etc.

I had my baby shower at my mom's house and it was catered by the Italian restaurant my parents go to.

Mine will be a brunch at a restaurant, but if it was going to be at my mom's house, I think she would've catered italian.

I hosted a 60th bday ladies luncheon for my mom last year at my house for 30 women and wanted to cook the food rather than cater. To keep it simple, yet ensure everyone was well fed, I put out pickings for when everyone was arriving. Then for the main lunch, I made 3 quiches, a tortellini salad, a nice green salad, and served a baked ham. I figured ham was easy since it's pre-cooked in the store and you just need to put a glaze on it and heat it up.

Re: Food for baby shower?

if you are making finger foods yourselves, i would do mini chicken salad sandwiches on cresant rolls, maybe a fruit cheese and cracker table, mini quiches, a tray of baked mac n cheese maybe?

eta to add more ideas:
mini sandwiches with turkey, swiss and cranberry chutney
mini quiches
chicken teriyaki on skewers
shrimp cocktail
poached salmon with dill sauce
spanakopita
potato/cheese croquettes
vegetable lasagne
"baby" vegetables with dip
mini cupcakes

Mine was at my mom's house and it was brunch (and for only 20 people) so we had:

bagels
muffins
fruit salad
wrap sandwiches
homemade quiche

Then for dessert we had cupcakes and
store-bought Italian cookies.
