Bridal Shower Food
Bridal Shower Food can range from simple snacks to an elegant meal. Your menu will be influenced by your location, the number of guests, the theme and your budget. A brunch, snacks only, or a dessert bar are just some of your choices.
The time of day will also help you decide. Traditionally, parties have been held on a weekend afternoon. In most cases this still works well, but any time is acceptable.
