Food for a Baby Shower.....

Why don't you add a cheese platter, you could have several kinds of cheese with crackers in the middle, that is always a hit! Good luck with the shower!

yes, i agree with the other ladies....some kind of sandwiches would be perfect b/c they do fill you up! when i through my best friend a shower we had your choice of chicken salad or tuna salad with crossaints...they were a hit! don't bother making the sandwiches either. just have 2 bowls (one of each salad in them) and then the ladies make their own. also, baked ham with rolls is perfect too. and again, you don't have to go through the hassle of making the sandwich...they will make it themselves. have fun and good luck with the shower!

Sounds fabulous. How about Quiche? You'd be surprised how many forget this one but I never have leftovers! They are EZ to make too!! Do you need a nice punch recipe too? Good luck!

Sounds like a wonderful spread!
You could always order a small sub type sandwhich from a resteraunt cut into little pieces....
But it sounds like you have alot of food already!
Good luck on a great party! W.

sounds great. I do usually order the publix subs and have them cut into 1/8 pieces. I arrange and place them on some glass plates. Looks like you are going to have a great baby shower. Well done!

Peace,

It sounds like you have a great menu going on..the ooey goeey butter cake is the best!!! The only thing i can see adding is maybe a cheese and cracker tray and maybe some chips and dip..like salsa or queso dip!!! Good Luck to you!!

J.....Before you decide on how much food...I think you first need to evualate the theme of the baby shower....I have given several of theme and the food is decided on by the theme and location of the shower...for example....are there going to be tables to eat at or our the guests going to be sitting in their chairs and eating over their laps...I only ask this because at most showers if there is not tables to sit their plates on then you are more prone to have accidents...like tipping their food on themselves, spilling their plates or turning over drink cups....the foods you have listed are great for either way..as they are more manageable unlike a full cource meal....I do like the suggestion of adding quiche... I hope this has helped in some way....C.

I would say that sounds like enough. Just make sure the size of the veggie/fruit trays are large and have a good amount of the meatballs and lil smokies!

I agree with the ladies you can do some small finger sandwichs or pigs in a blanket there is so many finger foods you can get you should alwasy have a little extra you really don't know how much people will eat so i always like to have more then not have enough If you or someone you know has a membership to sam's they have a lot f finger foods that you just heat in the oven and then your done. Ihope all goes god with the baby shower.

Sounds yummy! The only thing I can suggest is chips and salsa. Relatively inexpensive and usually a crowd pleaser.

Hi J.! I have a real easy and great sandwich for your party. I am a vegetarian and just recently I had a party and served these, they are tomatoe sandwiches. I did them using the cookie cutter, mine were heart shaped, but you can use any cutter you want, or use the little breads, like tiny dinner rolls, if you use those, you need to get the plum tomaoes. Anyway, all you do is get regular mayo and with a grater, grate some onions inside the mayo with black pepper to taste, spread the bread with the mayo on both sides and after slicing your tomatoes put them in a paper towel to dry a bit, so the sandwhich won't be mushy. After placing the tomatoe chop up some parsley or basil leaves and sprinkle a bit on top of the tomatoe before closing the sandwhich,, they are delicious and different, not to mention easy. Hope you try them!

J.,

As someone who likes to throw parties and what not, depending on the time of day you may have enough. It sounds like you have it all covered.

Good luck.

Always plan on 20 more people than you have rsvp'd.. so make enough food for atleast 50 ppl.

you could do hot wings.. or a cheese/cracker tray. or mini-begals with a few different cream cheeses.. they have onion/french dip, honey, strawberry.. regular... or what about that chex mix with pretzels and whatnot in it...

and don't forget the drinks. if you have soda, always have a diet soda avail too. but I suggest also having a non-carbonated drink alternative like iced tea, or lemon ade.

M.

sounds good so far. I would put out some of those finger rolls with egg salad/tuna salad. Those are always a hit.
Have fun!

I dont have an answer, I just want to know what an Ooey Gooey Butter Cake is!

Try some small sandwiches, maybe some chicken wings, and not everybody is a cake-eater so how about a small cookie platter.
