Fun Baby Shower Recipes

Fun baby shower recipes can turn a ho-hum shower into a yummy feast that everyone will enjoy!

As you gather fun baby shower recipes, there are several things you need to consider before you head to the kitchen.

• Number of food items-The size of the shower should dictate how much food you serve. Even if you plan on serving several dishes, you'll still need to plan on at least one serving of each for every guest and hostess. This will ensure that you have plenty of everything. You should have a few leftovers as well, since not everyone will eat each dish that is served.
• Number of people-The dish you prepare should be large enough to serve everyone. With this in mind, you may have to double or even triple your recipe. If you do this, however, be sure you recalculate every ingredient so you don't alter the recipe.
• Type of food-What kind of recipes do you have in mind? If you are serving a full meal, your menu will be much more elaborate, and the preparation will be extensive. A sit down meal works well with more intimate shower gatherings. If you want things a bit simpler, finger foods and appetizers are great menu alternatives.
• Time of shower-Usually, the time of day that the shower is held has some bearing on the type of food that is served. Breakfast casseroles, muffins, cinnamon rolls and biscuits work well for morning showers. Small sandwiches and finger foods are better for later in the day.
• Shower theme-Consider serving foods that work well with the theme of the baby shower. For example, a monkey baby shower might call for a jungle theme, so serve more tropical foods, like fresh fruits, fruit punch, nuts, etc. Icing colors can also echo the shower theme.
• Budgetary constraints-Hopefully, you have several hostesses who are willing to go in together to plan the shower and make the recipes. Because some of the recipes will be much more expensive than others, however, you may want to have each hostess keep up with her expenses. All of the expenses could then be added up and divided between the hostesses. Another option would be to ask more than one hostess to be responsible for paying for the ingredients of the more expensive recipes.

Finding fun baby shower recipes is easy. There are loads of recipes online, but you should also ask for recipes from the other hostesses. Some of the best recipes are those which have been handed down through generations or borrowed from friends and family.
