How To Prepare Food For a Baby Shower Atlanta GA

1. Once you have tallied up all of the RSVP's and know the number of guests that you are expecting, plan to make enough food for that number plus ten percent. By providing extra, you will be able to easily accommodate a few unexpected arrivals as well as those with hearty appetites!
   
   
2. Consult the mom-to-be on her personal preferences and dietary limitations. If she's experiencing any cravings, be sure to include those in your menu!
   
   
3. Consider your colors and theme. If your party room is decorated in pink ribbons and bows, think about serving a bubbly strawberry punch. If a boy is on the way, try blueberry smoothies. Baby showers are one of the few occasions when top to bottom pink or blue is considered to be a terrific idea!
   
   
4. Variety is the spice of life--and of your party. Be sure that you offer foods and beverages that will appeal to many different guests. Serve a main course dish with meat and one that is vegetarian-friendly. Offer some indulgent sweet treats, to be sure, but also a veggie tray and fruit platter for diet-conscious guests.
   
   
5. Serve "baby" versions of foods. Small, even bite-sized finger foods are popular and work especially well for a baby shower. "Baby" quiches, muffins and pastries are terrific shower foods. You can even make "baby" cream puff shells and fill them with tuna, chicken or crab salad for an easy, but delicious lunch. Sweetened "baby" cream puff shells can be filled with pudding or custard and sprinkled with powdered sugar and a touch of pink or blue colored sugars.
