Envelope Bridal Shower Food Ideas

Have you decided to throw a Pink Envelope Shower? Then everything should be in pink (or shades of red), down to the dishes you're serving.

Tomato-based pasta dishes are definitely in, so are roasted red peppers, red tortilla chips with tomato-based salsa, buffalo wings (in orange red coating), and so on.

Pies are a must on any envelope bridal shower, may it be pink or not. If you don't like pies, any dishes wherein the heart of the dish is enveloped or is inside a container (eg. Dumplings, egg rolls, ravioli) will be great!

You can also approach this by serving delicacies of the town/country that the couple are moving to (assuming that's the reason you're throwing her an envelope shower). That should give her an idea of what dishes to look forward to on her future home.

Garden Bridal Shower Food Ideas

Fruits and veggies should be the superstars of your garden shower menu. However any green dishes will also be very welcome.

Gardens are popular settings of tea parties and we don't see any reason why you can't have a garden ala tea party bridal shower as well. Jasmine and chrysanthemum tea are two of the more popular flower-based teas and will be very fitting additions to your garden bridal shower repertoire. They'll be wonderful whether you serve them hot or cold.

You will also not have any problems with what cake to serve. Serve anything wherein fruit is one of the major ingredient of your cake and it will fit very well to your chosen theme.

And lastly, your punch can be very fruity or leafy. There are lots of fruit punch recipes and there's one or two about a tea punch as well, and they're just a few search away.

Halloween Bridal Shower Food Ideas

Your menu will be dominated by lots of pumpkin dishes, from your appetizers to your Halloween beverages. You could start with some pumpkin soup, and end with some pumpkin pie, with pumpkin juice or some pumpkin punch to wash everything down. If that's too much pumpkin to your taste, don't worry, you'll not be limited to pumpkin dishes if you're throwing a Halloween shower.

Another way to approach your Halloween shower menu is by preparing dishes with the right Halloween color (anything in orange and/or black are welcome). So this means squid ink pasta and orange chicken are definitely in.

Another option is to "decorate" your dishes properly so they will have the necessary Halloween touch. A casserole served in a pumpkin husk will be a great addition to your Halloween shower! Cupcakes that look like a mummy or some other "scary" Halloween character will be welcome to your table as well. Those should give you lots of ideas on what to serve on this special and seasonal shower.

If you want to go beyond the ideas mentioned above, we found this Halloween party menu that you might want to look at.

Honeymoon Bridal Shower Food Ideas

You have lots of ways on how to approach your honeymoon bridal shower menu.

One is to serve specialties or any dishes that reminds you of the couple's honeymoon destination. This can be any fare with coconut and pineapple if the couple is to going to Hawaii, Chinese or Japanese dishes if the couple is to go somewhere in Asia, and so on.

Another approach is to pick some general destination types or themes like the beach and cruises and serve anything that represents it - so on this case, anything seafood will be fitting.

And to make your dishes top notch, you can serve your food in tiki leaves or airplane-like lunch boxes if the couple is going to Hawaii or they're traveling by plane. Pineapple and coconut husks can also replace the tiki leaves idea if you prefer them.

As for your cake, anything with tropical fruits will make you a very theme-based cake. If you prefer special-shaped ones, a suitcase, airplane or cruise ship-shaped cake is very honeymoon-like.

And lastly, preparing some fruit juice or fruit punch to wash everything down will be a good addition to any honeymoon bridal shower meal.

Jungle Bachelorette Party Menu

Fruits and meat dishes will be an integral part of your jungle bachelorette party menu. You can start with fruits that are normally consumed by some jungle animals - bananas, apples, peaches, kiwis, berries, just to name a few. Your meat dishes can be composed of popular game meats like turkey, deer, duck, rabbits, etc. You can turn them into fruit or meat kabobs, an appetizer or two, a gourmet sandwich or an entree.

Another approach to your jungle party menu is to give your food some jungle-like names. Wild venison sandwich, tropical fruit salad, fruit safari are just a few examples. But if you want to go beyond these, we found this safari party menu that you might want to look at.

For your dessert, you can just serve fresh fruits or make some cakes wherein fruit(s) is part of the ingredients. That should give you something that will satisfy both your guests' sweet tooth and your chosen theme.

And lastly, you can serve tropical fruit punch to wash everything down. If you think your guests will want drinks with more zing, then be sure to spike it with rum before you serve it. Don't worry about getting tipsy, since that's pretty normal on any bachelorette party!
