Planning a baby shower means you have to get venues selected, theme selected, baby shower games prepared, and most importantly, your food prepared. While some of the easiest (and priciest) option is ordering food from a sandwich shop or a catering place, the most budget friendly and intimate way would be to get your food prepared with help of friends and family.
And easy finger foods are the best when you have a party crowd - they are easy to serve and easy to eat. Here are some of my favorite easy baby shower appetizers to serve your guests. Of course I’ve included kid-friendly appetizer options, since having kids at baby showers would be unavoidable!
