Bridal shower food

Your list is pretty well balanced. To add to what you have , You can ask for some bread/ butter and/or drinks maybe. Might be nice to have a warm buffet item, so maybe ask someone to make some meatballs or something! Those are always easy to make and/or bring.

Post a check list on fb for everyone like a classroom sign up sheet?

I agree!

Was going to suggest drinks or some bubbly!

Take aways for guests too is a great idea!

Agreed!! Dips are always a good idea!!

If you've got the mains covered, I'd suggest appetizers or desserts for everyone else!

You have a great selection! The only thing you can add I think is punch or other beverages. After that, thank people for offering but let them know you have enough food. If they still want to bring something, you can suggest decorations, door prizes, a mini thank you gift for all guests

We're having ours after supper and just doing a dessert bar! I think you have a good variety of food though.

What time of day is the shower? I was considering having a little bagel bar as well, cutting bagels into halves, and having a couple different cream cheeses.

Don't be afraid to turn people away as well! You don't want food going to waste if people are spending their money on it. Maybe have some people contribute to beverages, ice, etc. instead.

Spinach dip bread bowls are usually a big hit... also many a smaller pastry or dessert tray? (Cookies, bars, etc)

If it's not too late, I'd create a google doc to share with your guests. This way, everyone would see what people are bringing. It would also be easier to track down the person after the event, to ask for the recipe!

I agree with April, dips are always good!!

Dips always go over well and there are so many different kinds it’d be hard to duplicate!
