You can always do finger sandwiches with some sort of chicken salad or egg salad, etc. OR do a sandwich bar with a meat tray, sliced cheese tray, and have different kinds of bread.
Here is one of my favorite recipes to have at showers/parties. I am a picky eater, but my mom used to make this cheese ball and it is SOOOO good!
2 8oz Cream Cheese (softened)
1 Small Jar Dried Beef (chopped)
1 Small bunch Green Onions (chopped)
1-2 tsp Soy Sauce
Chopped Walnuts
Mix beef, onion, and soy sauce in a bowl. Work in cream cheese until well blended. Refrigerate overnight. Form into a ball and roll in walnuts. Serve with crackers. If you don't have time to let it chill overnight, at least let it refrigerate for 2 hours.
Hope the shower turns out great!

I have throw n several baby showers inthe last year and this is what I have made:
-spinach dip (Knorr dry vegetable soup mix has a great recipe on the package) with either veggies or sliced baguettes
-mini spinach quiches (bettycrocker.com has a great recipe)
-fresh fruit (watermelon, cataloupe, honeydew, pineapple, strawberries, grapes)
-summer sausage, cheese and cracker platter
-baby BLT's (cherry tomatoes filled with a bacon, mayo blend I got the recipe off allrecipes.com)
-toasted French bread slices topped with prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, roma tomato slices, fresh basil and drizzled with olive oil
These seem to go over the best.

If it is a casual one, do finger foods that are easy to order or make like triangle sliced sandwiches, wings, stuffed deviled eggs, cheese and meat sticks. Desert you can find cute little chocolate molds that are all baby-ish, melt some chocolate, put a lollypop stick in it and refridgerate for cute cute chocolate lollypops.
For sit down formal a good salad and some pasta are a simple solution for lots of people. maybe a nice cheesecake or cute baby cake for desert. Have fun and congratulations!!
