Take a look at these suggestions for baby shower food ideas:
Keep it simple
You don’t want to be stuck in the kitchen on the big day, so try to choose menu items that can be prepared ahead of time. You can also buy some foods that are pre-made and simply add your personal touch.

Think about your budget
Depending on how many people you’ve invited, the food may be a little pricy. Shop around and look out for sales. Buying some items from a wholesale store like Sam’s Club is a great idea.

Make it a buffet
You already have a lot of duties as the hostess. So instead of having to serve the guests, let them make their own plates to their liking.

Use disposable tableware
If you want to save yourself some time after the shower is over, think about using paper or plastic tableware. You can find nice disposable plates to match your theme or color scheme. If you want to save the tableware you are using to decorate the tables, supply extra plates near the buffet table.

Get some take-home trays
After the baby shower has ended, you may have some food left over. if you have a lot left over and you don't want it all go to waste, let your guests take some of the food home.
