Try to prepare as much of the food in advance as possible. Avoid complicated dishes that can keep you in the kitchen and away from the fun. Finger food is fab. Since many showers take place in living rooms, food that can be grazed from a central table or put on paper plates and eaten with the fingers tends to be most convenient. Think of crackers or bread and cheese, chips and dip or salsa, fruit and cut-up raw vegetables, and some sweets like candy and cake. Heartier dishes that can be prepared in advance include pasta and potato salads, a tray of sandwich fixings, and lasagna or other casserole-type dishes. Think drinks. If you'll be serving wine or cocktails, also provide a variety of juices and sodas for anyone who doesn't drink alcohol. If you're serving coffee or tea, try to include a decaffeinated option, too. Consider a potluck. If it's too much to handle, ask someone for help with the food, or make the shower into a potluck. Provide some basics yourself, and, in each invitation, suggest a type of food for each guest to bring (specify "appetizer" or "dessert," for example, rather than assigning a particular dish).
