Here you’ll find 20 appetizers, co*cktails and sweet treats for a perfectly lovely bridal shower! They’re so incredibly tasty that you’ll impress even the pickiest mother-in-law! They’re also pretty, so easy to make and delightfully colorful too!
If I’m throwing a party for someone, I usually spend months on Pinterest saving ideas. I make carefully tailored Spotify playlists and I pull out my prettiest, most elegant appetizer, dessert and co*cktail recipes!
I don’t like making anyone eat off of laps on paper plates so, if possible, all food is finger food, easily held with one hand. co*cktails are easily made into batches so I’m not shaking up drinks all afternoon, and deserts/pastries are also easily served with only a co*cktail napkin or in small jars or glasses. It just keeps things tidy and elegant.
All of the appetizers, co*cktails, pastries and dessert recipes below are easily made and easy to serve!
