    Make a list of all the appetizers and foods you know how to make for a baby shower. Have all of your friends who are helping with the shower do the same. Some ideas are a thin crust pizza made on a cookie sheet and cut into squares, pastrami rolls filled with cream cheese, vegetables such as broccoli, cherry tomatoes, carrots, celery sticks, cheese and crackers, etc.

    Categorize all the baby shower food ideas into categories: entrees, appetizers, dessert items, etc. You should have a wide selection as some people are vegetarian, some don't like certain foods, etc.

    Assign a person to take care of each of the following: a vegetable tray with dip, a fruit platter with fruit dip, a sandwich platter, a tossed salad, a hot item such as macaroni and cheese and a baked ham, perhaps deviled eggs, etc.

  5. Step 5

    You should assign one person to be responsible for plates and utensils, cups and napkins. Someone will also need to bring drinks - punch of some sort is generally served at a baby shower. You should have a couple of beverages so people have a choice - such as lemonade and punch or sweetened ice tea.

  6. Step 6

    You can serve appetizers, and then the entre that has been chosen, and desserts following. Another option is to just do lots of appetizers and drinks with no entre for your baby shower.
