Are you looking for some delicious and savory food to offer your guests at your baby shower? Let me tell you by reading this post that means that you want your guests to have the best experience.
There are important things that you need to take into account before ordering food platters and catering. For example, it depends on what kind of baby shower you are having. If you are having a seated baby shower, you may want to have a menu and serve heated plates.
However, finger foods are always a go-to for more casual baby showers or summer baby shower themes.
Baby Shower Food Ideas: What to Consider Before Making Choices
The first step in making sure you serve the best baby shower food is to consider the size of the baby shower theme, party size, and any food allergies.
How to check for food allergies from baby shower guests
Size of Party
This is a major factor as it determines how much you will be dishing out towards catering.
Allergies of Guests
The last thing you want is for one of your guests to have an allergic reaction (and possibly a severe reaction). To avoid this, you can do this:
Ask the guests to inform you of their allergies.
This could be done when you send out the RSVP invitations.
This is an example of what your invitation could say towards the bottom.
” If you plan to be in attendance and you have a food allergy, please make me aware by (date), in order for the catering party to make the proper accomendations.”
Do you see how I made the important information bold? That draws immediate attention. Of course, add what you like to your invitation as this is just an example. Alternatively, you can also add for the party to bring their own food.
Note: According to Michigan Medicine, welcome your guests to bring their own food, while this may be the safest route.
