Using your theme throughout the shower, even with baby shower menus adds a more festive flair to the shower. No matter what your theme is, there are ways to make foods that fit with it.
Using Theme Shapes
One way you can do this is by using shapes related to your shower theme when making or serving the food. For example, if your shower theme is butterfly related, you can make the vegetables on the vegetable tray create the shape of a butterfly. Using a butterfly shaped cookie cutter, you can also cut butterfly shapes out of slices of cheese.
Using Theme Colors
Use the colors for your theme in the foods that you prepare. This will be easier for some themes than others. If your theme is baby boy, you will find a tough time finding naturally blue foods. Keep in mind that food coloring can be added to many things to change the color. You can also use foods that have complimentary colors. In the case of blue, having green and yellow items for your baby shower menus works out well. Just be sure to use those colors in your decorations as well.
Matching the Theme
In some cases, the menu choices will be obvious like with a tea party theme. Tea, cookies, and finger sandwiches are perfect matches for this theme. If the theme is sports related, tailgating type food items would be a good match.
