One of the most important parts of any baby shower is the food. It should be pleasing to the eye, taste great and be easy to prepare. After all, you want to have plenty of time for fun instead of spending all of it preparing baby shower food.

When it comes to baby shower food ideas, there are two major strongholds – fruit and veggies with accompanying dip. For some reason food for baby showers typically consists of these staples. However, there are a few things you can do to liven these ideas up. Read on for a few baby shower food designing ideas:

1. Create a baby carriage or fruit bowl out of a watermelon. Choose a long watermelon so that you can cut out a top quarter of it to shape it roughly into a carriage. Using a melon ball scoop, remove all of the “meat” of the watermelon and reserve. Either use the empty hull of the watermelon for serving punch or refill it with some of the watermelon along with other fruits like strawberries, kiwi, orange slices, cantaloupe and more.

2. Using colorful bell peppers is one fun way to create cute food arrangements for the baby shower. You could use them to hold veggie dip. Of course, they taste much better eaten! Use some veggies that are a bit off the beaten path for your artfully arranged vegetable tray. Items like cucumber slices, whole mushrooms, pieces of jicama and even sugar snap peas can liven things up.


You will need a few more ideas for the baby shower food menu. For instance, have you considered baby shower finger foods? Food served at a baby shower should be easy to easy with the fingers. This baby shower finger food should not be messy either. Here are some more ideas for baby showers and food ideas:

1. Tortilla roll-ups – These are easy to create and you can customize them with your own ingredients beyond the traditional cream cheese type of filling. Among the food to serve at a baby shower, these roll-ups are the most popular. And because they are customizable, you can tailor them to your theme. For instance, if you were serving Mexican type of food, you could create an easy refried bean filling with cheese and spices.

2. Fruit fondue – A cute baby shower food includes fruit fondue made from some type of marshmallows or chocolate. Make little skewers with fruit like pineapple, strawberries, grapes and any other fruit that is firm.

There is one final thought in regards to food at a baby shower. You should make the baby shower food table look attractive too. Whether you incorporate flowers or create edible fruit arrangements, a food table pleasing to the eye will garner great attention and raves about the baby shower food.
