Using Costco for baby shower

Soon2beMrs.Morgida · October 2011

Has anyone used or been to a shower where they used costco for the food? We are thinking about doing this for my shower and I wanted to get some input on it. I am trying to keep the costs down and we are going to have somewhere between 30-40 people around lunch time. TIA

We have a Sam's here and I've used it for showers before. I got all the fruit and veggies and cut them up myself for trays, got a big bag of cheese cubes, frozen quiches, and I can't really remember what else. I do know that making fruit/veggie trays yourself will really save a lot of money.

A lot of the food for my brother's co-ed shower for about 60 was from Costco. The main course was provided by a catering hook-up, but most of everything else was from Costco:

Rolls & butter
Shrimp Tray & cocktail sauce
Veggie Tray
Hummus & Pita Chips
Crab Dip & Crackers
Mango Salsa & Tortilla Chips
All the wine/beer/soda/bottled water

There's also the sandwich wraps that are popular and can work for a casual lunch. Not to mention, you can cut up those giant cheese blocks and serve with crackers and grapes for a pretty display. They also have giant tubs of spinach dip which could work well in bread bowl from the bakery.

Costco has cakes at a great price.
But I like the idea of doing a dessert buffet with all their goodies: mini brownies, cookies, strawberries etc.

Oh, and I've also been to showers with frozen lasangas and tossed salads courtesy of Costco too.

HTH!

I love Costco. Their bakery and deli is very good, so I would be more than pleased as a guest to have food from them. Go for it. They have nice trays of fruit, veggies, sandwich wraps, and other party platters.

Why not, they make everything in bulk anyway and have fruit, cheese, meat, and sandwich platters which would be perfectly fine to serve at a baby shower. People use this all the time for family gatherings, b'day parties, ect. I say go for it!
