shower food suggestions

in July 2011 Moms

My BFF is hosting a shower for me in a couple of weeks and she wants my help with food ideas.  The shower is at 3:00 so we won't be doing anything heavy. 

So far I have:

Fruit & Veggie trays with dip, chips & salsa, chips & french onion dip, cheese & crackers.  

 I want to keep it pretty simple and low key. 

What are your favorite foods at showers/parties? 

TIA

    In additional what the same spread that you have, we did a cold turkey salad and slices of bread from the local bakery. It was good for nibbling, but made a pretty nice sandwich for anyone who had skipped lunch.

    you could do those cream cheese tortila roles.... I like to put Jalapenos in mine instead of green onions... but here is a link to a recipe:

    Maybe add a cold cut platter or pigs in a blanket?

    There's a cracker spread my family makes that people love. All it is is a 15oz jar of mayo, 2 cups shredded cheddar, jar of hormel bacon bits, small packet of slivered almonds, and 2-3 green onion tops diced. Mix it all together and chill (day before is best). Great on triscuits or those buttery ritz crackers.

    Crock pot meatballs! In a crockpot, combine 4 parts grape jelly with one part yellow mustard. Heat and stir to combine. Then, add in meatballs and let warm for a few hours before the event. Have toothpicks on hand.

    Simple, warm, easy, and yummy!
