Food Ideas for Baby Shower for Twins

Pregnancy comes with its fair share of aches and pains (hello, swollen feet and throbbing back), but it also often involves something more festive—a baby shower! Along with those adorable decorations and fun games, most baby showers feature a mouth-watering array of food and desserts. So what kind of baby shower food is best to serve?

One of our favorite baby shower food ideas is to serve a variety of finger foods. That way, guests don't have to worry about how they're going to eat and instead focus on mingling, playing games and watching the soon-to-be mama open a bevvy of adorably pint-sized gifts. Need some inspiration? From appetizers to main course finger foods and delectable desserts, we've got you covered with tons of yummy, easy baby shower food ideas.

Baby Shower Appetizers

When it comes to baby shower appetizers, simple is best! If you'll be serving a variety of choices, look for easy recipes that don't call for tons of prep time. Bonus points if they can be prepared in advance. Here are several of our favorite deceptively simple (and totally scrumptious) baby shower appetizers.

Avocado Salsa Verde

This gorgeous green salsa from Peas and Crayons is a great way to kick off a baby shower taco bar, but it's also perfect with chips as a simple addition to your array of baby shower appetizers. Avocado lends a creamy texture while the jalapeno and onion pack a flavorful punch. A hint of lime keeps this salsa from browning during your event.

Cranberry Brie Bites

These cranberry brie bites from Well Plated are among our favorite creative baby shower appetizers. Each bite of warm, fluffy pastry is a yummy combination of cranberry and brie. Even the mom-to-be can enjoy these apps without worry, since the cheese gets hot enough during baking to kill off any possible disease-spreading bacteria.

Raspberry Swirled Cheesecake Bites

There are some baby shower desserts that everyone expects (ahem—hopes!) to see at the party, and cheesecake bites are definitely one of them. These gorgeous mini cheesecakes from Cooking Classy have our hearts pounding—a swirl of raspberry stands out against the creamy cheesecake for a taste that's every bit as good as it looks.

S'Mores Cookie Cups

These cute little S'more cookie cups from Jessica at Together as a Family combine all the elements of the classic campfire dessert in a bite-sized cookie cup.

Strawberry Oatmeal Bars

It's always a good idea to include a healthier option amidst your baby shower desserts. Our choice? These yummy strawberry oatmeal bars from Erin at Well Plated. These bars may only clock in at 100 calories each, but trust us—your guests will never know!

Gluten-Free Chocolate Mint Brownies

In addition to a healthy dessert option, it's also a great idea to have a gluten-free offering as well. For a crowd-pleaser that'll suit everyone, including any gluten-sensitive guests, we love these gluten-free chocolate mint brownies from My Gluten-Free Kitchen. The fudgy brownies are topped with a layer of mint frosting and a layer of decadent chocolate. Yum!
