There’s arguably no way to adequately describe the day you discover that your family is about to expand. And naturally, you want to share the moment with your closest family and friends. Crave Culinaire’s exceptional event planning and catering will create a warm, inviting atmosphere at your baby shower, making guests feel valued and cherished, and ensuring it’s a memorable milestone in your new journey.
Although most soon-to-be parents won’t throw a baby shower until the end of the second trimester or even into the third, it’s not a bad idea to start planning your event well in advance, perhaps two or three months beforehand. It may not be a wedding, which means you don’t need to book a venue and vendors a year out, but you do want to give everyone enough notice to ensure they’re available on your chosen date.
As for catering a baby shower, you can likely save on adult beverages, and you won’t be sorry if you spend the extra budget on some delicious food instead. A few options to make your event one-of-a-kind include the following:
Food Boards
It seems like there’s a new TikTok food board trend every time you blink. Butter boards, dessert boards, eclectic girl dinners, and “jarcuterie” have each had their time in the spotlight over the last few years. But at their core, food boards still offer an ideal party snack experience, with the option to include items for every alternative diet and still create an eye-catching, Instagram-worthy presentation.
Prepared Hors D’Oeuvres
Party guests love to get their snack on, but you don’t want things too messy or complicated. With that in mind, you can never go wrong serving prepared finger foods at an event. Generally speaking, there are four main types of hors d’oeuvres to consider:
- Canapés
- Skewers
- Crudités
- Tartlets (sweet or savory)
You shouldn’t feel limited by these examples, though. You can always get creative with options like gourmet crab cakes, poke cones, or meat lollipops, as long as the items offer bite-size appeal!
Dessert
Sweet treats are a staple of baby showers, and the Crave Culinaire pastry & dessert team will help you go all out with them. Maybe you prefer bite-size desserts like cake pops or petit fours, or you want an assortment of cookies and bars. Perhaps you’re craving a custom cake or other baked goods. Our team will ensure that each and every dessert at your event is top-notch!
