Other ideas for baby shower foods and side dishes
*If there will be men at the party, serve a finger food side dish such as french fries or onion rings.
*As with your main dish, you can serve 2 or more side dishes. If you choose to do this, make sure the baby shower foods you choose go well with your main entree. For example, if you're serving pepper steak, you can make both rice and potatoes so that your guests can choose their preference.
*Consider use 3 part paper plates to keep the side dishes separate from the other baby shower foods. If you're serving baked ziti and veggies, you may not want the pasta sauce to run into your vegetables.
