How much food for baby shower
A Baby Shower: The Food
After a mini sneak peak and then lots of photos from the baby shower we just helped host, we thought we would get down to the good stuff: the food. You know all about the shower, so let’s just get right to it, shall we?
When planning a party with lots of small bites or hors d’oeuvres like this baby shower or even a cocktail party, there are just a few guidelines to follow:
#1 Know your numbers.
After much research and having thrown a couple parties ourselves (successful and not), we like to serve 5 to 6 different choices and always plan to have enough for each guest to have 2 to 3 pieces of each option. This of course can vary dependent on the time of your party. If your party takes place during meal hours, then assume people will eat a bit more, maybe 3 to 4 pieces per option per guest. In our case, we held the baby shower at 2:00 in the afternoon, so we assumed about 2 pieces of each food option per guest.
#2 Don’t be a hero.
Just as we were, when planning a party people seem to get really excited and often take on too much. Remember your guests are coming to spend time with you, or whoever the party is in honor of. Yes, the food should still be incredible, but incredible does not equal 15 steps. Also, be careful with how many hot items you plan to serve on your menu, go for things that can be served hot and at room temperature or just opt for just room temperature items, allowing you to prepare well in advance.
Also, Be sure to include “fillers” in your menu, in our case we had a plate of cheese cubes (that were devoured) and pink colored M&M’s (also gone by the end of the party). These two items were easy to put out on the tables and people loved them. Consider nuts, olives, snack mixes and breadsticks as other options for fillers.
#3 Know your guests.
Don’t just serve food you would like to eat, make sure you take your guests preferences and the occasion into consideration.
Are there vegetarians coming? If you are not sure, be sure to include a vegetarian option. Will your guests be expecting an outdoor barbeque or will they have something else in mind. Use the style and wording of the invitations, type of celebration, how the guests will be dressed and time of day as guidelines.
#4 Have fun.
It’s a party after all, if the planning / prepping is becoming too much to the point that you, the host, are not enjoying it, then there is a problem. Enlist help from friends or family (we had a whole team for the baby shower), buy pre-made hors d’oeuvres from the store and make sure you are not spending the whole time in the kitchen. You are a host, so plan your menu in a way to make sure as soon as those guests walk through the door you are there to greet them and join the party.
For the baby shower, we offered cheese burger sliders, mini hots dogs, tiny hummus sandwiches, s’mores pops, itty bitty cheese squares, granola bar bites and a beautiful cake made by a friend.
Everything was a hit, especially the granola bar bites…
Cheeseburger Sliders
makes 8 sliders
8 mini hamburger buns (substitute: dinner rolls)
1 pound 80/20 ground beef
1 tablespoon steak seasoning
8 small slices of cheese
8 dill pickle slices
American mustard
ketchup
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Preheat a griddle or pan to medium-high heat. Wrap the mini buns in foil and place into the oven to get warm for about 5 minutes. In a bowl, add the steak seasoning to the meat. Gently work the seasoning into the meat then shape the meat into 8 small patties, try not to overwork the meat. Place each burger onto the preheated griddle. Let the burgers cook 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the buns from the oven, and place a slice of cheese, a pickle, and a squirt of mustard and ketchup. Finish with the burger and then use a toothpick to secure the slider, place each slider on a platter and watch them disappear.
Mini Hot Dogs
This was one of our “making-it-easy-on-ourselves” options. We went with the traditional Pillsbury dough wrapped smoked sausages. They were easy, inexpensive and we knew they would be liked. You could very easily update this with phyllo dough or puff pastry and place chorizo or Italian sausage inside.
Tiny Hummus Sandwiches (Vegetarian Option)
makes 16 tiny sandwiches
4 slices white bread
4 slices wheat bread
Herby Hummus, recipe below
handful spinach leaves
1 thinly sliced tomato
1/4 yellow pepper, sliced thinly
1/4 red or orange pepper, sliced thinly
2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
salt and pepper
On a cutting board, lay out all the bread slices then spread a thin smear of the hummus on each slice of bread. On 2 of the white slices and 2 of the wheat slices, place a very thin layer of spinach, tomato, and peppers. Sprinkle with a little feta cheese and a very small amount of salt and pepper.
Put the other slices on top, the white on top of the white and wheat on top of the wheat. Use a bread knife to slice the crusts off each side of the sandwiches then carefully cut each sandwich into quarters lengthwise, making little finger sandwiches. If necessary, use a toothpick to hold the sandwiches together on the platter.
Herby Hummus
1 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)
8 fresh basil leaves
6 fresh mint leaves
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
pinch cayenne pepper
salt to taste
In a food processor add the basil, mint, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice and olive oil then pulse until everything is chopped small. Add the hummus and pulse until incorporated. Add the cayenne and any required salt then pulse a few more times.
Itty Bitty Cheese Squares
These were just another filler, we cut sharp cheddar cheese and swiss cheese into cubes, placed a toothpick into each cube and served on a pretty bamboo platter.
They were simple, tasty and gone at the end of the day.
S’mores Pops
You can make S’mores pops a day ahead. Just follow this recipe that we shared with you a few weeks ago. Don’t forget to mix it up a bit if you want, add mini chocolate chips, nuts, or mini M&M’s instead of crushed up graham crackers to make your own version.
Mini Granola Bar Bites
makes about 22-24 granola bar bites
2 cups old-fashioned oatmeal
1 cup sliced almonds
3/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
3/4 cup shredded coconut
3/4 cup toasted wheat germ
2/3 cup honey
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon + 1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup raisins
non-stick cooking spray
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spray an 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray then line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, add the oatmeal, almonds, coconut, sunflower seeds and wheat germ.
Add them to a sheet pan (with walls) and bake in the oven for about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally until everything is lightly toasted. Remove from the oven and transfer the mixture back into the large mixing bowl, immediately add the salt and stir.
Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
Next, while the mixture is still warm, add the honey and vanilla, stir until everything is well coated then add the dried fruit and stir again. Pour the mixture into the prepared 9×13-inch baking dish. Use all your might to press the mixture until everything is as tightly packed as possible (use a silicon spatula for this). When you think you have pressed enough, do it again. Now, place the pan into the oven to bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until it is lightly browned. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 2 hours, if not 3 before you attempt to cut the granola bars. Once completely and evenly cooled, use a serrated knife to gently cut into squares. For mini granola bites, cut into 2-inch squares.
Store the granola bar bites in an airtight container. They can be stored at room temperature, but they will become a bit softer after a day. Storing them in the freezer works really well and prevents them from going soft.

25 Perfect Baby Shower Food Ideas on a Budget – Instacart
Throwing a fun, memorable party to celebrate the new arrival in your life doesn’t have to break the bank. You can decorate a party or backyard and prepare a tasty menu affordably without compromising on quality—it just takes planning. If you’re stuck and don’t know where to start, these baby shower food ideas on a budget will get the ball rolling.
How to throw a baby shower on a budget
Before we get into baby shower food ideas, these are our cost-cutting tips for throwing a wonderful baby shower on a budget.
1. Don’t host at mealtimes
If you host a baby shower at mealtimes, you’ll have to serve full meals, which can be expensive.
Instead, throw your baby shower between meals, so you can serve only appetizers and sweet snacks. 2 p.m. is a popular time for these events.
2. Keep a pared-down guest list
On average, guests eat around 5 pieces of food at baby showers. The more people you invite, the costlier the event will be.
3. Ask guests to bring food or drinks
If you still want a full party but can’t afford to feed everyone, ask your guests to bring over food or drinks. It will be a baby-shower-meets-potluck type of event, which can be a lot of fun.
4. Choose local, seasonal ingredients
The cheapest food for a baby shower is the one that’s local and in season. Research what fresh produce is cheapest, then come up with recipes using those ingredients.
Following a themed menu can help you pinch pennies. For example, if you’re using chicken for 1 appetizer, make sure to include it in another snack. This way, you don’t have to buy as many ingredients and end up saving money.
6. Ditch the fully stocked bar
Choose just 1 or 2 drinks to serve—preferably non-alcoholic for baby showers. No need to keep a handful of spirits and mixers on hand.
7. Make your own decorations
DIY the décor using things you already have at home. Visiting a thrift store can also help you throw a stylish baby shower for cheap.
Affordable appetizers for a baby shower
Plate up these tasty, budget-friendly appetizers for your guests.
1. Ham and cheese sliders
Ham and cheese sliders are simple, easy to make, and affordable.
2. Pulled pork buns
Pulled pork sliders are also a popular snack for baby showers. Don’t skip out on the barbecue sauce.
3. Turkey cheddar hot pinwheels
With pre-made pizza dough, deli turkey slices, and cheddar cheese, you can make this comforting finger food.
4. Tomato and broccoli mini quiches
Quiches are sophisticated but surprisingly cheap to make. For this version, use ripe sliced tomatoes and broccoli florets for the filling.
5. Hummus and roasted veg toast
Spread homemade or storebought hummus on toasted bread and top with an assortment of roasted veggies.
6. Build-your-own chili
If you’re looking for a more filling snack, chili is the way to go. Let your guests add their own toppings.
7. Potato skins with bacon
Hollowed-out baked potatoes, bacon, and sour cream make the perfect appetizer. It’s easy to eat and packed with flavor.
8. Summer pasta salad
For something lighter, serve individual portions of pasta salad. Toss fusilli and whatever veggies are in season in olive oil and a pinch of salt.
9. Deep-fried pickles
Pickles are a popular satisfying snack among many moms-to-be. Set out a plate of deep-fried pickles with ranch dressing on the side.
10. Babies in a blanket
Give pigs in a blanket a twist. Wrap the dough around the sausage so it looks like a swaddled baby and add chocolate sprinkles for the eyes.
11. Grape jelly wieners
Toss smokies in a grape jelly and ketchup mixture, then serve on toothpicks.
12. Barbecue meatballs
Another hearty appetizer, meatballs doused in barbecue sauce are a crowd-pleaser.
13. Tater tot casserole
Tater tot casserole is pretty inexpensive to make. Use a blend of affordable cheeses to take this comfort food to the next level.
14. Chicken salad sandwiches
Spread chicken salad on soft white sandwich bread and serve with an olive and a toothpick on top.
15. Pesto chicken tea sandwiches
Grilled chicken and basil pesto is another great combination. Cut the sandwiches into quarters so they’re easier to eat.
16. Hamburger meat empanadas
Pie crust and hamburger meat can be turned into delicious empanadas. Salsa makes for a great dipping sauce.
17. Cheese pizza bites
Make finger food pizza bites using a cupcake tin, pizza dough, pizza sauce, and shredded cheese.
Cheap desserts and treats for baby showers
What’s a party without something sweet? These cheap recipes for a baby shower will satisfy your sweet tooth without going over budget.
1. Gendered rice crispy treats
Rice crispy treats are cheap to make. They only call for margarine, marshmallows, and puffed rice. Add red or blue food dye for a gendered twist.
2. Carrot cupcakes
Not into gender-themed desserts? You will probably love carrot cupcakes. Making your own is cheaper than getting it from the store—and surprisingly easy!
3. Fruit on a skewer
Pierce a skewer through pieces of fruit for a healthy snack. Grapes, banana, strawberry, apple—whatever is in season.
4. Caramel apples
In the fall, when apples are abundant, caramel apple slices hit the spot.
5. Waffle bites
Waffle mix is inexpensive, so why not make waffle bites? Cut a waffle into fourths and top with fruits, caramel, or chocolate.
6. Decorated sugar cookies
Take sugar cookies to the next level by decorating them. All you’ll need is icing, food dye, and a piping bag.
7. Ice cream sundaes
Sundaes are perfect for summer baby showers.
Choose 1 ice cream flavor and let your guests pick their toppings—pretzels, caramel drizzle, and chocolate chips are just some of the options.
8. S’mores bar
Set up a s’mores bar for a DIY dessert. You’ll need graham crackers, chocolate bars, and marshmallows. Don’t forget skewers and a few candles.

Top 10 Baby Shower Locations
However, one of the biggest downsides to showering at home is the inevitable post-party mess.
Moving a baby shower from home is a creative move that will give the shower a whole new concept, and it's just great. And although traditionally baby showers were held in the owner's house or even in the house of future parents. Everything has changed. Baby showers can be enjoyed in a variety of places and even virtually.
nine0006 But right before you start planning the details of your baby shower, you need to think about the theme, the number of guests you want to invite, and how you're going to make it the best baby shower you'll never forget. Finding the perfect baby shower spot can be tricky, but with a little help, you can overcome that hurdle.
Baby shower is a welcome relief from the anxiety and stress that pregnancy brings. A baby shower is more or less food, drinks, games, and of course friends and family to enjoy it with. A baby shower can get messy, so it's best to hire a larger space to make it easier to clean up afterwards, as well as a larger space for more people. Apart from home, there are the best places for a baby shower here. nine0010
1. Club
Club houses are a great option for a baby shower. They have more or less tastefully decorated private rooms. A large number of clubs offer a wide variety of snacks, food and drinks, although not as large as restaurants.
Clubs require far less preparation as they are designed with activities such as baby showers in mind while still retaining that special feel. If the expectant mother prefers the feeling of her own space away from everyday life, then she is highly recommended to visit the club.
nine0006
Make sure you meet the club owner well in advance, as popular clubs can be fully booked even a few weeks in advance during peak season. Once you must have booked, you will find that there is no more secluded place outside of the house to spend the day with friends and family.
2. Botanical Garden
This is more like a local park, but 10 times more beautiful. The Botanical Garden is indeed a favorite place for outdoor baby showers. Some even have conference centers available for booking, or you can prepare yourself. nine0009
The Botanical Garden would make a great place for a baby shower as it is a jack-of-all-trades in terms of features including being beautiful, cheap, fairly comfortable and spacious. If you want a more private place, you need a botanical garden with a conference center, which is available for booking.
3. Restaurant
Food, drinks, desserts and great atmosphere! All this is in the restaurant, so it is highly recommended to take it for a baby shower.
Also note that you can easily reserve the required number of seats if you reserve enough in advance. You might even be able to rent out the entire place. nine0009
As restaurants vary so much, you need to find one that is convenient and suits the mother-to-be's preferences. As a rule, you need to find a place that is sure to be in a convenient location. If the weather is fine, consider seating on the terrace, although be sure to check with the restaurant owners and organizers of baby showers to make the necessary arrangements in advance.
4. Vineyard
Offering guests guided tours, juice and wine tastings, and often with guest rooms that can be rented for gatherings of all kinds, the vineyard is another exciting, unique and stylish place to have a baby shower. And there is the possibility of staying for a longer stay if needed.
You will most likely need to hire a catering service. Please note that you can be ordered through the vineyard staff or contact a third party catering company.
You can also assemble a team of highly motivated friends and family to help you. The vineyards offer stunning scenery and a unique atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of the city. nine0010
5. Tea room
Tea rooms more or less specialize in hot drinks, sweets and snacks. If you want to have a hearty meal with guests, a tea room might not be the best option. Also note that tea rooms come in a wide variety of styles.
So keep in mind what suits the expectant mother, whether it's a standard coffee shop style or something even more stylish or elegant. The only thing that tea rooms have in common is that they offer a relaxing atmosphere and a pleasant atmosphere that requires no extra effort on the part of the baby shower organizer. nine0010
6. Farm shed
This is a truly beautiful and unique place, although it may come with some problems. There is enough space in the barn for an arbitrarily large number of guests.
A fun and private environment that can be very cheap or even free, depending on who you know. Take your time to ask local farmers if you live outside the city limits or maybe there are farms that already offer accommodation services. Also, if you have a family friend with one of these, ask them! nine0006
Along with pre-arranging games, food and drinks, special care must be taken to ensure that the chosen barn does not have any animals, as this is an easy way to ruin the day! The positives of the barn easily outweigh the negatives and it is sure to lead to a magical and truly unique day out for everyone.
7. Community Center
Please note that you can rent a large space at the local community center without worrying about the guest limit that is common to other places. If you intend to invite a lot of guests, or don't know how many guests will be coming, a community center is a great option. The Community Center is much cheaper than some of the other establishments on the list and is the perfect choice if you're on a budget.
nine0009
The community center is also very convenient, as you can set up your own decorations, cook meals that suit the mother-to-be's tastes, and provide plenty of room for play. Also note that they provide much needed amenities like toilets for you and your guests.
However, it is very important to remember that the community center is a public place and should be left as you find it. You must strictly adhere to the scheduled time for the party, as there will most likely be futsal or karate classes right after your baby shower. nine0010
8. Small outdoors
Consider a garden or park. Perhaps there couldn't be a friendlier option than this one. More like a picnic with loved ones. Play games and have fun in a relaxed environment. Need to keep something cold? Store in the fridge, need extra cutlery? Get some out of the box.
If you decide the neighborhood park is the best option, bring what you need in a few baskets and have a picnic, or better yet, if you forget something, you can just run home and grab it! This is a free and versatile option, but be sure to check the weather forecast in advance.
nine0010
9. Natural Spaces
Outdoors there is a truly staggering number of places to have a baby shower, often providing free or near free stunning locations for a truly one-of-a-kind baby shower. However, there is a drawback - you will have to do all the preparation yourself. If this is too burdensome, you may need to hire staff.
Whether it's in a national park or on the beach, there's no shortage of places to host a one-day (or possibly weekend) baby shower celebration. Another benefit of having an outdoor baby shower is that you are not limited by the number of guests. You can invite as many as you want and leave many memories while enjoying nature. nine0010
10. Hotel room / Airbnb
If you are planning a more intimate meeting, you can book a hotel room or an Airbnb apartment/home for everyone and have a baby shower in the largest room. This is an exciting idea if you are planning to host a baby shower in another city or town.
Room service and buffet are always available, as well as restaurants in the hotel lobby or nearby. The main advantage of a hotel room is that your party is not limited in time as it is booked in your party name for the day and night. nine0010
And besides, if you or anyone else gets tired, you can always work some hay. You can also spread the baby shower party over multiple days if you like. An option that guarantees an unforgettable evening for everyone.
Any location you choose ultimately has its own unique combination of pros and cons in terms of price, space, ease of preparation, uniqueness, travel distance, privacy and atmosphere; All of these need to be carefully considered before making a decision. nine0010
