Bridal showers are a great chance for the bride-to-be to celebrate her decision to tie the knot with all of her close friends and family members. Bridesmaids or maid of honor usually host the event while the bride prepares for her big day. These bridal shower catering ideas will help you throw a memorable party.
Design a Thematic Drink:
When planning your bridal shower catering, don't forget to provide a thematic drink! A themed drink is a great way to tie all of your food, decorations, and games together into one cohesive experience.
For example, if you're having a rustic-themed party with lots of earthy colors, consider serving a drink with an orange base—perhaps an orange-based punch or sangria. Or if you're planning an outdoor barbecue/picnic-themed event, consider serving lemonade or iced tea.
Pick Various Hors d’Oeuvres:
Guests may appreciate some light bites to tide them over while they chat with friends and family members at the bridal shower. Fruit and crackers are easy options, as are quiches. A catering company can set out all the food before the party starts, so you won’t have to fuss with it when your guests arrive.
Choose the Bride’s Favorite Food:
When planning a bridal shower, consider a buffet-style lunch to accommodate many guests at a low cost. The type of food can be based on the event theme, or the bride's preferences. Fun main meal examples include:
- Pulled pork and chicken for a Southern meal.
- Chicken and steak in flour tortillas for a fiesta.
- Wings, meatballs and pigs in a blanket for a sporty theme.
- Burgers and barbecue for a backyard picnic.
Select Some Savory Sides:
Side dishes are a must for any meal. Choose from a wide selection of standard sides, including vegetables, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, black beans with cilantro rice, spring rolls, crab cakes and more. Catering services can keep everything warm throughout the event, freeing you up to enjoy your celebration. Professional bridal shower catering services make it easy to provide guests with multiple options, allowing you to focus on the party instead of the food.
Decide on a Sweet Dessert:
Desserts are the perfect way to end a bridal shower. Cookies, brownies, pies, cheesecakes and cakes are just some of the options available.
