If you are hosting a bridal shower, you have plenty to think about with games and entertainment, invitations, venue selection, and decorations. So, it only makes sense to enlist a professional to handle the menu. When you sit down with your caterer to plan your bridal shower menu, keep the following tips in mind.
Consider the Time of Day
Bridal showers often take place early in the day, so you might host a bridal shower brunch, which should include some breakfast favorites like pastries, omelets or eggs Benedict, and fresh fruit… and don’t forget mimosas! Alternatively, an afternoon bridal shower might be well suited to a selection of appetizers and snacks rather than a full plated meal.
Keep It Light
Remember that leading up to the big day, the bridal party may be eating light to stay trim for their formal gowns. So, you don’t want to load up the menu with heavy fare that may be high in calories. Keep the menu light and fresh to keep everyone happy. Hors d’oeuvres like spinach and artichoke dip with fresh vegetables, fig and apple crostini, caprese skewers, stuffed endive, and avocado mousse with smoked salmon offer lighter fare that can easily fit into your party theme.
Don’t Forget Dessert
While lighter fare will be a big hit, you don’t want to skip dessert. A selection of miniature desserts can offer a taste of something sweet without going overboard on calories. You might even think about a selection of mini wedding cakes to celebrate the upcoming nuptials.
