help with shower menu

lemen99

party planning isn't my forte.  I'm throwing a shower by myself for a friend and I need some food ideas.  Since it's by myself, and I'm not great at cooking or multi-tasking, I need things that are somewhat easy and not super expensive please.

So far:

cake

fruit & fruit dip

mexican dip & chips

meatballs in the crockpot ( grape jelly + chili sauce)

Thanks!!!

My mom makes these little cocktail sausage things that people really like.  You just take a package of cocktail sausages wand wrap each one with bacon, insert a toothpick to keep it in place.  Put in a baking dish or cookie sheet and sprinkle lightly with brown sugar and bake.  I'm not sure of times or temps, but I'm sure you could find it on Google.

You could do little chicken salad sandwiches (store bought chicken salad to make it easier), little cucumber sandwiches, stuffed strawberries, mini blt bites (both of those look fancy but are fairly easy and you can do parts of it ahead of time), veggie pizza, fruit pizza, spinach dip in a bread bowl (again, you could just use store bought spinach dip), baked brie, baked cream cheese (SO easy!) .... if you want recipes for any of it, let me know!

What about the Brie/jelly thing that Anne did?  I think that's pretty easy.  I would also do a veggie tray.
