5 BEST TIPS FOR BRIDAL SHOWER CATERING
Bridal showers gather all the important friends and family members in a wife-to-be’s life to celebrate her decision to tie the knot. As a tradition, bridesmaids and maid-of-honors usually host the gathering while the bride focuses on preparing for the wedding. To make party planning as simple as possible, follow these bridal shower catering ideas.
1. Design a Signature Cocktail/Mocktail
Beverages are essential for any occasion. You can keep it simple with lemonade and tea or customize a very special drink for the event. For example, a refreshment suited to an event theme might include pina coladas, lychee mojitos or lavender champagne.

2. Pick Various Hors d’Oeuvres
Guests may need some light appetizers to enjoy throughout the event. Consider light and easy bites to eat, such as fruit, crackers and quiches. Creative grazing displays that we offer suit any type of bridal shower you are planning. We can set all of this up in a visually-pleasing way before the bridal shower’s start time, so you can focus on finishing decorations and preparing to greet friends and family members when they arrive. It’s a real show stopper and one of a kind centerpiece with unique blooms and delicious food. A professional caterers also has the experience to anticipate and deal with any issues that may arise during the event. They have the know-how to handle any last-minute changes and can ensure that everything runs smoothly and on schedule.
3. Choose the Bride’s Favorite Food
When brainstorming bridal shower lunch ideas, consider selecting a buffet to accommodate everyone cost-effectively. Pick the type of food based on the event theme or the wife-to-be’s preferences. The bridal shower is a great place to show the bride how much you care for her. One of the best ways to do this is by including her favorite foods in the bridal shower catering menu. Fun examples include:
* Beef crostini with caramelized onion & horseradish aioli
* Goat cheese and fig brioche toast
* Beetroot Greek style hummus with freshy baked baguettes
* Whipped feta with honey, pistachios and cranberries served with crostinis
4. Offer a grazing table
It can be difficult to cater to everyone’s needs at a larger event (no pun intended). Everyone has different tastes, and some guests may even have dietary restrictions! All these factors make it nearly impossible to create a catering menu that everyone will enjoy. That’s why we highly recommend offering a buffet table at bridal shower events. This gives every person the option to pick and choose the items they want and to skip anything else. A buffet table is also a great place for guests to mix and mingle with each other as they build a plate! It’s really the best solution for a bridal shower event. If you’re looking for a more trendy approach to the buffet, then we recommend setting up food stations around the room.
5. Decide on a Sweet Dessert
As the finishing touch to your bridal shower catering menu, you should add a sugary treat. We offer assorted miniature desserts, chocolate covered strawberries and artisan macarons that provide delicious options to suit everyone’s tastes. Guests can enjoy the desserts while watching the wife-to-be open presents at the end of the gathering.
