Food for a Baby Shower.....

Why don't you add a cheese platter, you could have several kinds of cheese with crackers in the middle, that is always a hit! Good luck with the shower!

J.....Before you decide on how much food...I think you first need to evualate the theme of the baby shower....I have given several of theme and the food is decided on by the theme and location of the shower...for example....are there going to be tables to eat at or our the guests going to be sitting in their chairs and eating over their laps...I only ask this because at most showers if there is not tables to sit their plates on then you are more prone to have accidents...like tipping their food on themselves, spilling their plates or turning over drink cups....the foods you have listed are great for either way..as they are more manageable unlike a full cource meal....I do like the suggestion of adding quiche... I hope this has helped in some way....C.

Always plan on 20 more people than you have rsvp'd.. so make enough food for atleast 50 ppl.

you could do hot wings.. or a cheese/cracker tray. or mini-begals with a few different cream cheeses.. they have onion/french dip, honey, strawberry.. regular... or what about that chex mix with pretzels and whatnot in it...

and don't forget the drinks. if you have soda, always have a diet soda avail too. but I suggest also having a non-carbonated drink alternative like iced tea, or lemon ade.

Sounds yummy! The only thing I can suggest is chips and salsa. Relatively inexpensive and usually a crowd pleaser.

I would say that sounds like enough. Just make sure the size of the veggie/fruit trays are large and have a good amount of the meatballs and lil smokies!

sounds good so far. I would put out some of those finger rolls with egg salad/tuna salad. Those are always a hit.
Have fun!

It sounds like you have a great menu going on..the ooey goeey butter cake is the best!!! The only thing i can see adding is maybe a cheese and cracker tray and maybe some chips and dip..like salsa or queso dip!!! Good Luck to you!!

sounds great. I do usually order the publix subs and have them cut into 1/8 pieces. I arrange and place them on some glass plates. Looks like you are going to have a great baby shower. Well done!

Peace,

As someone who likes to throw parties and what not, depending on the time of day you may have enough. It sounds like you have it all covered.

Good luck.

I dont have an answer, I just want to know what an Ooey Gooey Butter Cake is!

Sounds like a wonderful spread!
You could always order a small sub type sandwhich from a resteraunt cut into little pieces....
But it sounds like you have alot of food already!
Good luck on a great party! W.
