Thankfully, my neighbor has let me borrow her tongs for the past two parties I’ve thrown. One thing I always forget is serving tongs. The other co-hosts brought chicken salad on croissants and the option to put chicken salad on lettuce leaves, taco dip with tortilla chips, veggie tray, and fruit tray with fruit dip. I made spinach dip with Hawaiian bread and a spring mix salad with balsamic vinaigrette, feta, and glazed cranberries and walnuts. Since there were three of us hosting, we divided up the food. If you’re wanting to do a cake and punch baby shower, I recommend bumping the time up to 2PM. The shower was at 1PM, which to me, means there will be some sort of lunch served. So we tried to make this shower as special as possible for her.Īnd instead of doing a general recap, I thought I’d do more of a baby shower ideas and general party hosting tips type of post. And while this will be her third child, it was her very first baby shower. This past weekend I co-hosted a baby shower at my house for my very good friend, Jen.
