Luau Baby Shower Food Ideas
Fruits are definitely a MUST SERVE on this baby shower theme. Any dish with papaya, pineapple and coconut are definitely fit for your luau shower! If you want to serve popular Hawaiian dishes (eg. Kalua pig), there are many such dishes featured at allrecipes.com.
We also suggest that you serve your dishes in coconut shells, to accentuate your chosen theme. If your guests are up to it, they could also eat their meal from Ti leaves, instead of plates. That should be an interesting experience for them!
Any cakes that feature fruits like pineapples or coconuts are expected in a Luau shower. Or you could forget the cake, and just stick to fresh fruits for your dessert. Talk about a fresh and healthy conclusion to your meal!
And lastly,a fruit punch is definitely in order for this theme. We did say from the start that fruits are one the stars of a Luau shower menu, right?
Moon and Stars Baby Shower Food Ideas
Relaxation, sleep, and comfort, that is what this theme represents for us. And it just seems right that for this theme, your menu should be composed of comfort foods!
You could either ask your guests for their favorite comfort food (and choose from the list) or just decide the menu between you and mom-to-be. Either way will work for your shower!
Another take on this theme is to serve dinner menu, even if your shower is in the middle of the afternoon!
For your cake, you could either create some chinese moon cake, or other moon cake recipes. Or you could just bake some half moon-shaped or star-shaped cakes.

Want everything to be moon and stars-based, down to your cake, but don't want the hassle that comes with it? Then you must absolutely check out this Moon and Stars Decorating Package. |
For the punch, just choose some pineapple punch, and instead of using typical ice, freeze some pineapple juice in star-shaped ice trays and add to your punch. That should give your punch a nice kick!
Noah's Ark Baby Shower Food Ideas
For this theme, you could either go for purely meat dishes (the animals), purely seafood dishes (the sea/flood), or a combination of both. You could decide based on your guests' preferences, and of course, mom-to-be's. If possible, choose dishes that will add more color to your table!
Make sure that everything is served in colorful plates, and your other party items, like glasses, should also be full of colors. Rainbow colors are of course, your priority, when deciding on what color to pick!
Your cake should definitely be the most colorful among your dishes. Animal cake decors will also be great in your rainbow cake!

We don't know about you, but we find this Noah's Ark Cake Decorating Package to be just the thing. It would turn any ordinary cake into its appropriate Noah's Ark counterpart, and yet without all the hassle that comes with creating a theme-based cake from scratch. |
For your punch, it should definitely be a Rainbow Punch! That should complete your most colorful baby shower yet!
Nursery Rhyme Baby Shower Food Ideas
Looking at nursery rhymes about food seems a great start in planning your nursery rhyme theme menu!
Dishes with apple are definitely an option, since we have to admit, there are many nursery rhymes with reference to the said fruit. You could also serve some sausages (Five Fat Sausages), any pork dishes, since pigs are also popular in nursery rhymes, Pumpkin Pie (Peter, Peter, the Pumpkin Eater), Egg dishes (Humpty Dumpty), and many more! Who says nursery rhymes cannot be yummy?
Tarts and pies have their minute of stardom in certain nursery rhymes, hence, coming up with your dessert menu for this theme is definitely not a problem! But if you prefer having a cake for your shower, we suggest that you bake one in the shape of Humpty Dumpty himself, or a nursery rhyme character that you don't mind digging into. Or you could just bake a typical cake and icing it with the mom-to-be's favorite nursery rhyme, and place some cake decors in the shape of your favorite nursery rhyme characters. Either ideas will be great for your chosen theme!

If you have diligently studied your nursery rhymes, you know that moon and stars had more than their share of stardom on some popular rhymes. Which is why we think this Moon and Stars Cake Decorating Package is the perfect cake topper you could use if you are aiming for a theme-based cake and a hassle-free preparation! |
If you're mixing some punch, try some punch with apple juice and bits! If you found that interesting, but still prefer something more unusual, just serve some pumpkin punch, kids version. It couldn't get more nursery-like than that!
Oriental Baby Shower Food Ideas
Dimsum and dumplings or Japanese makis are the popular options for your oriental shower menu. Serve them with some Japanese or Chinese tea, and voila, you have your menu for this theme!
Serve your food in chinese take out boxes, instead of the typical paper plates, and of course, chopsticks are in order ( just prepare spoon and fork, just in case some of your guests prefer them). Of course for the tea, we're assuming that you have your very own tea set to use for this.
You could either create your own version of chinese moon cakes or just bake an ordinary cake in the shape of a fortune cookie! That should bring some good fortune and fun to your party! Or just bake a typical cake and icing some dragons and chinese characters in it. Make sure you're using red icing for this.
Dragon punch is definitely THE punch for an oriental baby shower! Dragon punch is basically any red punch that you feel your guests will prefer. Enjoy!
