Bridal Shower Finger Food-- Bridal Shower Finger Food -- Ladies love to lunch, especially when there’s a large selection of delicious goodies spread out before them to choose from! That’s one of the many reasons why finger foods are such a great choice for bridal showers. Women can chat and socialize, all the while slipping scrumptious tidbits into their mouths. Finger foods are perfect for any type of bridal shower, no matter what the theme may be. Whether you’re planning an elegant canapé and wine affair, or a cozy, casual get together, finger foods are the way to go! Foods that guests can easily eat with their hands are also perfect for affairs where there is not necessarily a table to sit down with a fork and knife. Choose food items that are neat, easy to eat, and delicious for a range of appetizers that all guests will enjoy. Foods to AvoidIf you don’t plan to give guests a space to sit down and have a proper meal, consider choosing foods that they will easily and politely be able to eat while standing and chatting. For example, as delicious as tacos are, they are quite messy and would be difficult to eat while mingling. Another item that is difficult to eat while standing is crab legs, which are often served at cocktail parties and wedding receptions, but virtually impossible to eat elegantly! Avoid such foods at all costs as they will only serve to make your guests uncomfortable. Small items that guests can easily eat in a bit or two are perfect. Perfect Finger FoodsWhatever bridal shower finger food you decide on, opt for ones that are elegant, feminine, and delightful. A variety of small sandwiches is always a hit. Before buying all the ingredients, find out how much a platter of tea sandwiches will cost from your local grocer – if the price is comparable you’ll save yourself a lot of work. If you decide to make them yourself, make them with a variety of white and brown breads. Popular types are tuna salad, egg salad, ham, cucumber, and cream cheese with jam. Other popular savory dishes include shrimp cocktail, meatballs, and cheeses. - Mini sandwiches Skewer It!Skewers are so easy to eat, and look absolutely beautiful when arranged elegantly. To create a skewer that’s as pleasing to the eye as it is to the tastebuds, simply choose two or three items, and arrange them by color so that each skewer looks the same. If you have two bold colors and one pale color, alternate. The result? Professional, catering-company style finger food, perfect for your bridal shower! SweetsA bridal shower isn’t complete without a wide range of sweet finger foods. Cookies and bars and sweets – oh my! Arrange a few platters in advance and bring them out half way through the shower to add interest to your food presentation. Or, arrange them in a gorgeous tiered tray and feature the sweets as a centerpiece – perfect for cupcakes or something equally as attention grabbing. Here are some desert-like bridal shower finger food ideas: - Lady fingers When planning the menu, be sure that guests will be able to easily converse while eating. Purchase some lovely little paper napkins that work with your theme, and have small paper plates available (or china, depending on your numbers). This should help to both showcase all of your bridal shower finger food, as well as keep everything neat and tidy! Have fun!!
