Other
ideas for baby shower food 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 food 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 using 3-part paper plates to keep the side dishes
separate from the other foods. If you’re serving baked ziti
and veggies, you may not want the pasta sauce to run into your
vegetables.
