Food Ideas For A Wedding Shower







Chocolate fondue is a great food idea for any wedding shower.


A wedding shower should be a time to relax and have fun with your family and friends while you celebrate your upcoming special day. Planning a wedding can be stressful enough, so the wedding shower should consist of things that are easy but great. This goes for the food as well.


Fruit and Vegetable Tray


A fruit and veggie tray is a fan favorite at any get together. It offers a nutritious snack to your guests, but can also help to satisfy those guests who may not eat meat. Not only this, but it is a no-fuss idea for a wedding shower that requires little effort. Some bite-sized cuts of your favorite fruits and vegetables on a large tray with a dip or two in the center, and you're good to go.


Finger Sandwiches








Another favorite that is easy to make are finger sandwiches. You can make any kind you choose, keeping in mid that some guests may not eat meat. Some great ideas are turkey and cheese, ham and cheese, tuna salad, chicken salad, and cheesy pimento. Make the sandwiches on whole white or wheat bread and cut into four slices, either squares or triangles and place on a large platter.


Baked Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus


Baked bacon-wrapped asparagus is a delicious idea for a wedding shower, and is easy to prepare. You just need some uncooked bacon, raw fresh asparagus, and Pam cooking spray. Spray the pan and set your oven to 350 degrees. Cut the asparagus and bacon in to 2 inch pieces, wrap the asparagus with the bacon and secure with a toothpick, then lay them out on a cookie sheet. Spray the bacon wrapped asparagus with the Pam and pop in the oven until the bacon is crispy and cooked thoroughly.


Chocolate Fondue


This wedding shower idea requires a fondue fountain. However, these are fairly inexpensive and well worth the purchase. You will also need the fondue chocolate, fresh fruit, and some other dippers like rice crispy treats, brownie bits, marshmallows, pound cake, and graham crackers. Cut everything in to 1-2 inch pieces and place on a large tray near the fondue fountain with some toothpicks.
