9 Tips and Ideas for Planning a Baby Shower Menu

When planning a baby shower, you can be as creative as you like with the food ideas, but it’s also important to consider some practical aspects.

As the host, you’ll have a lot to take care of, including decorating the venue, so it’s good to plan food that is quick to make and easy to serve and eat.

Here are some tips to help you think about the types of food to choose, how to serve it, and more:

Savory Baby Shower Food Ideas

Whether you plan on having only finger foods or an entire menu at the baby shower, here are some ideas for the savory food:

Baby Shower Dessert Table Food Ideas

Besides having a baby shower cake as a centerpiece, you may want to have a dessert table with an assortment of other sweet offerings. Here are some ideas for crowd-pleasing sweets and desserts:

Drinks

Beyond serving the usual wine spritzer or sparkling wine at the baby shower, consider some alcohol-free drinks, like mocktails, punch, and homemade sodas:

The Bottom Line

You’ll no doubt have lots of fun planning and serving the food for the mom-to-be’s baby shower.

If you’ve decided to prepare most of the food, round up some of the mom-to-be’s friends and family to help. Make it easier on yourself by using some store-bought elements, too. You could also make some of what’s on offer but ask each guest to bring a small plate to share.

Set up food and dessert tables so that guests can serve themselves buffet style, and stick to foods that aren’t too messy to eat while standing up and mingling.

If you have a set theme, you can tie the food into the theme by using colored frosting, or by piping lettering onto foods like “Oh, Baby!” Cookie cutters are your friend! Cut everything from brownies to sandwiches into shapes that match the theme. You can also connect the food and drinks to the theme based on the colors you choose for the straws, napkins, and cupcake liners.

Having a chocolate fondue fountain or a soda bar can create an interactive element that guests will love.

Have fun with it! Your options are endless, and you might find you really get into it once you get started. And, always remember, no matter what food and drinks you serve, your guests — especially the guest of honor — will really appreciate your efforts and thoughtfulness.

While you’re here, check out our baby shower checklist to double-check that you’ve covered everything for the upcoming event.

Food & Menu Offers for Baby Shower 💡 Holidays | HomeInteriorz.com

Non-Meal Baby Shower
Sample Brunch Baby Shower Menu
Sample Lunch Baby Shower Menu
Sample Dinner Menu Baby Shower

Most baby showers offer some food . You usually come up with a menu based on several factors, including:

Baby shower time
Baby shower length
Baby shower location
Baby shower budget

Another important thing to consider is how the mother feels. For example, you might not want to drink alcohol at a baby shower because the mother-to-be cannot drink. You would like to serve foods she loves.

So if a hit is her favorite, be sure to add it to the menu.

Baby shower outside of meals

If you avoid meal times (breakfast, lunch and dinner), meals can be a light snack with cake. As you get closer to the food, expect more food. Two o'clock in the afternoon is a fairly common time for baby showers. At this time of day, the menu may include:

Fruit salad
vegetable tray with a failure of
Drinks
Perforator
mini-tube or hot appetizers
Cake or dessert

Example menu for the Brunch

children's shower, if you plan to have a children's arc around breakfast hour, around 10-11 am, here are some things you may want to consider:

Mini Omelettes
Juices: apple, orange, cranberry cranberries, etc.)
Buns
Bagels with cream cheese
Fruit salad
Casseroles (French toast, potato hash brown, etc. )

Sample menu for lunch baby shower baby shower.

Dinner time frames provide some flexibility, especially between hot and cold menu items. Here are some cool things you can cater for:

Finger sandwiches (pimento, turkey, benedictine, ham, chicken salad, etc.)
Fresh vegetables with dips
Apples with caramel sauce for dipping
Cupcakes (they feel less formal but nice and Portable)

Soup

Sample Dinner Menu Baby Shower

The dinner menu can be a little tricky, which is why it's one of the least popular times to throw a shower in the house, short of steam showers. Many times a dinner that took a shower was served or hosted in a restaurant. If you choose to host it yourself, you'll likely need a theme for your food to help you select and minimize the type of foods on offer. Examples include barbecue, baked potato bar, mexican, chili, burgers, etc. While I'm also a big proponent of breakfast for lunch, this will depend on how formal you want your children's shower was .

If you had a BBQ dinner, you can offer:

Several types of BBQ (chicken, pork, etc.)
Bread or buns to eat BBQ
Fried pickles (favorite pregnancy)
Bread rolls

If you have a baked potato bar, it may include:

Regular and sweet potatoes
Butter
Grated cheese
vegetables
Salsa
Sour Cream

No matter when you're holding a baby shower, food will really help set the mood. A more casual meal helps to calm the tone, while a formal meal sets the tone for a more formal baby shower. There is no right or wrong answer, just what works for you or your family. Remember that this is supposed to be a holiday and there is more than one way to celebrate.

The best afternoon snack for a child under one year old

— Ekaterina Borisovna, what is an afternoon snack and why is it important for a child?

— An afternoon snack for a child is an intermediate meal, more often between lunch and dinner, with four meals a day. With a five-time regimen, a second breakfast can also be called an afternoon snack.

Despite the fact that this is the smallest meal in terms of volume, it is no less important for the proper, full growth and development of the baby than the others.

The child will not have time to be very hungry between meals, and will be able to get additional energy.
Snack regulates metabolism and prevents sharp fluctuations in blood glucose levels, eliminates the need for dry snacks in the form of sweets, cookies.
Snack preserves the normal rhythm of the gastrointestinal tract, excluding long pauses between meals, during which the gastric mucosa is exposed to the irritating action of gastric juice.
Properly selected afternoon snacks help to diversify the children's diet with tasty and healthy dishes.

How is afternoon tea related to metabolism? The child's body requires a regular supply of nutrients to ensure vital activity, intensive growth, high physical activity, but it still does not know how to accumulate and quickly release energy from the depot in a timely manner. A child is very sensitive to fluctuations in blood glucose levels, and it is extremely important to avoid sudden jumps and drops in this indicator. A delicious afternoon snack is a great help with this task: it smooths out the glucose drop curve from lunch to dinner. After a light afternoon snack, the crumbs have enough energy until the evening.

— At what age is it best to teach to have an afternoon snack on different types of feeding?

- More often this is the age of 6-8 months - the time of the second feeding. Each baby has his own regimen, but it is important to observe the intervals between meals.

The type of feeding does not affect the timing of the introduction of an afternoon snack and its food composition. Both formula and breast milk may well become an independent afternoon snack for a child up to a year old.

— Is it possible to completely exclude afternoon snacks from the children's diet?

— Most people associate the notion of an afternoon snack with preschool children and with the diet in kindergarten. In fact, the child begins to receive an afternoon snack much earlier. With 5 or 6 meals up to a year, the fourth or fifth meal between lunch and dinner will be an afternoon snack. But someone considers it a full-fledged feeding, while someone arranges a lighter snack. Of course, there are children who categorically refuse intermediate meals. In this case, you should not strongly insist, an afternoon snack may be optional.

— Does the size of the afternoon snack depend on the daily activity of the child?

— To a greater extent, the volume and nutritional value of an afternoon snack depend on the daily routine and eating habits. When a long break is planned between afternoon tea and dinner, for example, a long walk in the fresh air, then the afternoon snack should be quite satisfying: you can increase the portion or calorie content of the dish so that the baby does not have time to get hungry. And if the child is used to having dinner early, then you should not load him with a high-calorie voluminous afternoon snack.

The proportions are arbitrary and depend on the daily diet, menu and taste preferences of the child.

— What to offer the baby after sleep?

— Afternoon snack should be nutritious and easily digestible, no need to load the digestive system with long digestion of complex foods. At the same time, the diet for children younger than a year is different from the menu for babies after a year, but both of them cannot do without dairy products.

Healthy snacks for children

— The afternoon tea for older children allows the imagination to run wild, and the little ones can enjoy all sorts of flavors. A set of products may remain the simplest, but the cooking technology is becoming more diverse. But the diet should be expanded gradually, it is impossible to give several different products at the same time. It is better to start diversifying the menu with fermented milk products and cottage cheese-based products.

What should not be given to children under one year old during the afternoon snack

— Ekaterina Borisovna, what should parents do if a child asks for sweets and other forbidden foods? How to accustom him to a healthy afternoon snack?

- The child always asks for sweets - regardless of the time of day. And, of course, you can not deprive him of goodies. But he should not get sweets before or during a meal, but only after the main course eaten. Having enjoyed a candy shortly before dinner, he is more likely to refuse to eat later. It’s definitely not worth loading the main meals with sweets, but an afternoon snack is just perfect for a small dessert.

If a baby refuses an afternoon snack, and after half an hour starts begging for sweets, it means that you should gently insist on a snack, and then reward him with sweets. If the baby did not have time to get hungry after a hearty lunch and daytime sleep, then it is better to offer an afternoon snack a little later.

Not all babies need an afternoon snack - some easily skip this meal if there is a short break between lunch and dinner. Each mother knows her child better than anyone else, and will always be able to understand whether it is worth feeding him an afternoon snack.

— Can I give my child ready-made food from the store for an afternoon snack, or is it better to cook food yourself?

— Products from the store, of course, you can give — this is a quick snack for a child that does not require cooking. It is important that this is exactly the baby food that is appropriate for the age of your baby. And the attitude that everything for a child needs to be prepared only by oneself is erroneous.

— MAMAKO 9 fruit purees are the best for an afternoon snack of cottage cheese products for children0208 ® with goat curd. They have an unusual creamy taste that will appeal to even the little one. Puree does not contain harmful additives, thickeners, preservatives and flavors, it contains only healthy fruits and cottage cheese. The fruit component enriches the baby's diet with vitamins and fiber, serves as an additional source of calcium, which is so necessary during the period of intensive growth.

Afternoon snack is perhaps the most favorite meal of the day for children, in which they quite legally get various delicacies. It should be not only tasty, but also healthy and planned meals. It helps the baby to recuperate during the long break between lunch and dinner, regulates the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, relieves the mother of the need to give the child random and, perhaps, inappropriate food. A varied light snack menu will be the key to a good mood and healthy digestion of your baby.
