Parenting after a Loss
What did you eat/drink at your baby shower?
I am hosting a friend's baby shower with her two SILs. We are making all the food... And I need ideas. I am not a crafty person. I don't cook. I don't bake. I CAN do these things. I just don't enjoy them. Thankfully this is near my mom, so I can make her do all the dirty work.
My baby shower was at a restaurant. The bridal shower I hosted for my bestie was at a restaurant.... And I just can't remember what is normally served.
TIA

ETA - I have been playing phone tag with the SIL, so I don't know yet what she was thinking. Just wanted to have some ideas to toss around when we finally talk.

my sister did mine.... she had each of 5 people bring a crock pot of soup. so we had soups and breads.... and veggies and dip, etc. she has small bowls so you could have a soup and a random bread (which she cheated and got from panera) and try different soups. it was yummy but totally cold weather.
for harper's party we did meatballs, firecracker shrimp, popcorn chicken (from walmart... shhhhh), veggies and chips and dip. i have recipes... if you want. the meatballs are easy and can me made in advance and crockpotted....

We got publix sandwhich rings and other small snacks. Then...we had waters & punch! I actually had a punch fountain. For DD we had it pink...and DS it was green(I'm not a blue fan). It was really cute.
You could do a veggie tray or cheese and cracker tray. Fruit salad is good. And the sandwhich rings.(if your having more food). Then do a punch bowl with sherbert ice cream/ sprite...my favorite! : )
Did you guys have alcohol for the non-preggers?
My girlfriends all drank at my shower. They needed the wine to calm them down with all the baby stuff in the room and their former "wild" friend KTFU.

we served champagne for a champagne toast only. i was jealous of those who could drink bubbly with cake. I PPH me some bubbly and cake.
Ours was a couple's shower...
sandwich platters
cheese and crackers
spinach artichoke dip
salmon dip
fruit salad
wings
meatballs
carrot cake
chocolate mousse cups
We had a little of everything! LOL
We had mini croissant sandwiches, shrimp cocktail, veggies and dip, hummus and pita, tabbouleh, pinwheels, fruit, multiple desserts and cake. We didn't serve alcohol. Only water, pop, lemonade, tea and coffee.
I didn't have booze, but that's the typical for our area to not have booze at showers- bridal and baby. I would have loved to have booze at both though, lol.
