Bridal Shower Menu Planning Tips

Here are some final tips to make sure your food setup is a hit:

• – Balance sweet and savory: You want to balance out being healthy and be indulgent, so aim for protein, carbs, veggies, as well as some healthy fats.
• – Cater to dietary needs: Find out who is attending and whether they have allergies or require gluten-free options. Also important to note are the ages of the people attending. For example, if you have a younger group, perhaps they are open to more light bites, but if you do have a big number of older relatives, perhaps their expectations might be something heavier.
• – Prioritise presentation: This doesn’t have to be expensive – you can easily go to the dollar store to find pretty display racks or cake stands.
• – Plan, plan, & plan: Choose options that can be prepped one day in advance so that you can enjoy the occasion rather than stress about it.
