What food should be served at the shower?

Bridal showers do not typically have a meal served,?instead simply finger-foods are offered. Fruit or veggie platters, chips, pretzels, ice cream, pie, cake...just typical snack or dessert foods. There should also be coffee, tea,?punch or soft drinks?available for the guests. The type of food also varies with theme, be creative. Many people choose to have formal teas or barbecues as well which is a nice touch and can allow people to stay longer and mingle with the bride.
