Planning a baby shower can be stressful. Like any party or event, one of the most stressful aspects of the planning can be deciding what kind of food to serve, and how to prepare it. Here are four easy tips for choosing what food to serve and how to prepare it. With these tips, you'll spend less time worrying about appetizers and desserts and more time enjoying the company of your family and friends. 1. Choose a Theme One of the first things you need to do when deciding what food to serve at your upcoming baby shower is to choose a theme. Are you doing a gender-reveal shower? An animal-themed shower? Or a princess or pirate-themed shower? Keeping the food connected to the theme will make it easier to decide what kinds of food to serve. Pink or blue foods would be appropriate for a gender-reveal shower, and traditional afternoon tea would be great for a princess-themed shower, etc. 2. Keep It Simple Make sure to keep it simple. One of the biggest mistakes all hostesses make when planning a shower is to go overboard with food options. Choose a main dish and two to three sides, and keep it at that. This will prevent too much waste, and help you have less work to do. 3. Delegate Another important thing to do when planning a shower, especially when preparing and serving food is to delegate the workload. Ask two or three friends or family members to assist you in the food preparation and display. With three or four people doing the work, it will go by much faster, and you'll have more time to spend with your guest of honor and the other attendees. 4. Hire a Caterer A final tip is to hire a caterer. Many restaurants and catering companies are happy to cater a baby shower. Baby shower catering is actually probably one of the funnest type of gigs they will book. They will be thrilled to cater for your event. Hiring a cater frees you to mingle with your guests and attend to the other needs of the party, while the caterer handles all the food. And, despite what you might thing, baby shower catering is surprisingly affordable. Crepe catering (http://CaliCrepes.com) is ideal if you are looking for a unique way to feed your guests.
