wedding shower-please help me decide what to make
I am going to be making a few things for a wedding shower coming up
in a couple months. It is an clean slate for the menu so far. Please
help me decide (most of the recipes I found on various Nesties' blogs,
my apologies for not remembering who belongs to which recipe) . I have
never made any of the recipes before, but I think I can manage them
all. Here is what I am considering (please help me pick 2 or 3):
Buffalo Chicken Dip
Shrimp Stuffed mushroms
Stuffed Mushrooms
Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake Cupcakes
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip
Lemon Cheesecake Cheese Ball
Re: wedding shower-please help me decide what to make
Are you the only person making food?
If not, I would pick one of the apps and one of the desserts as your contribution.
I would say one of the stuffed mushrooms, and the Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake Cupcakes since indiviudally portioned things are easiest for people needing to go through a buffet line.
Although I really do love the buffalo chicken dip, I hate the idea of it for a wedding shower. It seems so masculine and casual, for some reason I just don't think it fits the occasion. I think including one additional snacking-dessert is fine, I don't really like cake, so I always appreciate other sweet options. I think one of the sweet cheese balls and the stuffed mushrooms sound like good options.
I hadn't thought about the dip seeming masculine, but the more I think about it I agree with you. I really want to try it since I have heard some rave reviews of it, but I guess I will have to wait for a different party to try it out. I think I am leaning toward the stuffed mushrooms (not sure which version to make), the raspberry swirl cheesecake cupcakes and one of the dips (I am thinking the chocolate chip one, but am not sure). I am still a little undecided, but I appreciate the suggestions and tips. I am almost there, but not quite, so any other thoughts on the choices would be great! Thanks!
