    Bridal Shower Menu Planning

    Gather your guest list, and decide the time of day. Are you having a morning breakfast or brunch style party? Or an early afternoon lunch and tea party?

    Select your menu of bridal shower food, and add your personal touch of glamour and elegance! And this collection will also work for future baby shower appetizers and main dishes.

    Every good party starts with a reason, so choose a creative bridal shower theme that goes with the time of day. Usually, a bridal shower party is organized by the maid of honor with help from family members and close friends. Decide if you will host a sit-down meal, open house style, a truly formal meal, a high tea, or a causal buffet with grazing boards. Start planning these details first.

    Instructions

    • Squeeze fresh grapefruits using a hand juicer or electric juicer. Chill in refrigerator. Or buy a container of grapefruit juice.
    • Chill the bottle of Prosecco or Champagne. Pour in half grapefruit juice, and top with chilled Prosecco or Champagne. Sip and enjoy!

    Notes

    Prosecco, Champagne, or Dry Sparkling Wine

    Some stores even offer pink champagnes and sparkling wines, so that is an option. If you are making your own grapefruit mimosas, a good Prosecco from Italy is perfect. You can certainly splash out and get French Champagne too! White sparkling wine works as well, it is sometimes sweeter than Prosecco or Champagne. 

    Grapefruit Juice

    Press fresh grapefruit juice using a citrus juicer or use store-bought grapefruit juice. Chill the juice in the fridge and get it nice and cold before serving.  
    1 real grapefruit yields approximately 1 cup of juice.
