It's a boy....

It is going to be hard to pick the best answer because you have all given me wonderful ideas..Thank you all for all the information...

Answer 1

Blue Theme:

1) Blue Jello Cups w/blueberries (in clear cups or unmold)
2) Blue Cream Cheese on Celery (dye the cheese) or crackers.
3) Blue Cake (dye the white cake & icing) and then decorate
w/blue baby items.
OR
4) White cake - cook according to direction, cool, leave in 9x13
pan. Poke holes in cake - with either a fork or the handle of a
wooden spoon. Mix blue jello as directed (1/4 cup less water)
and then pour it on the cake. Let it completely set up in
refrigerator (you can then either leave in pan or carefully take
out and place on platter) and then top with Cool Whip.
Decorate.
5) Blue assorted candies in bowls (jelly beans, life savers, etc)
6) Blue Kool-Aid punch (kool-aid + sprite) or just dye the sprite.
7) Blue corn tortillas with dips
8) You can have a good bakery make you blue bread and then
fill the finger sandwiches with your favorite fillings.
9) Keep going - use your imagination - blue food dye can be
added to most 'white' food, so have fun!

Answer 4

You could order fried chicken from a local grocery store that has a deli, italian beef sandwiches is really easy to make for large crowds (season rump roast with salt, pepper, and some garlic. Put it in a crock pot for 6-8 hours). For finger sandwiches, we usually do tuna salad, ham/cheese, and turkey/cheese. Baked potato casserole is always a crowd pleaser for our family showers and goes well with both chicken and beef, as is grape salad. Add a green salad and some brown and rolls. For drinks, we usually do coffee, tea/sweat tea, and lemonade instead of pop, it is cheaper and is liked by everyone. Of course, there is always party punch, too! Since you are hosting, don't be afraid to ask family and friends to bring a dish with them! I have never been to a baby shower that wasn't pot luck, host provides meat and drinks, guests provide side dishes! Baked potato casserole 3 lbs red potatoes, diced and cooked until tender 1 cup miracle whip 1/2 block velveeta, cubed 1 jar hormel real bacon bits chives to garnish Put potatoes into large casserole, spread miracle whip on top of potatoes. Top with velveeta cubes, sprinkle on bacon, top with chives. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until cheese has melted. Delicious!! Grape Salad 2 pounds seedless green grapes 2 pounds seedless red grapes 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese 1 (8 ounce) container sour cream 1/2 cup white sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 4 ounces chopped pecans 2 tablespoons brown sugar Wash and dry grapes. In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar and vanilla. Add grapes and mix until evenly incorporated. Sprinkle with brown sugar and pecans, mix again and refrigerate until serving. Old Fashioned Party Punch 1/2 gallon strawberry sherbet 2 (64 fluid ounce) bottles fruit punch 1 (2 liter) bottle lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage, chilled Place sherbet in punch bowl. Pour in fruit punch and lemon-lime soda. Mix and enjoy!
