A is really a lot of fun to host a baby shower! You should not let the afternoon baby shower menu be a problem to you. Once you have your theme the menu will follow naturally.

A good theme for an afternoon baby shower is a typical "'High Tea." With such a theme your afternoon baby shower menu is no problem. Ask the guests to dress up and host it in real "Old World" style! No chips and dips please.

What to serve?

Savory:

• Well, of course, you must have those little cucumber sandwiches. Make a few, just for the sake of your theme, or make many if you have lots of weight conscious guests!
• Very dainty, real old fashioned "rainbow" sandwiches will add another authentic touch to your table.
• Another savory snack you can never go wrong with is tasty cocktail sausage rolls. Make sure they are fresh and made with only the best quality of meat.
• Even though you would not have found them at a traditional "high tea" miniature pizzas always go down very well.

Sweet:

• For your sweet stuff, why not make use of all the lovely fall produce around us. Make a lovely pumpkin pie and some apple pie. Or, you can make pumpkin muffins instead of pumpkin pie so as not to overdo it with the pies.
• Serve some other kind of "sweet" bread as well, such as banana bread, date bread or a fruit loaf.
• Of course, you must not forget the petty fours, even if you only serve homemade truffles. If your "repertoire" includes more different kinds of petty fours, so much the better.
• Add to this a beautifully decorated cake, which can serve as your centerpiece, and you are almost there.

Make sure you lay your tables really elegantly and serve your food in style. With this simple theme, your afternoon baby shower menu follows naturally.
