I don't demo at bridal showers. Each that I've had the host wanted the food already made. I prepare prior to the shower - mini ham puffs (I also make them with turkey and swiss for variety, assorted dips, fresh fruit in the trifle bowl. The host provides cake and servies mints. All is served is SA dishes and 3 tier.

I just had my first shower yesterday. I took a chocolate trifle already made & made the Three-Cheese Garden Pizza at the shower. I had the crust already done when the guests arrived, then presented the bride-to-be with her apron (my gift to her) & she wore it while she helped me slice the veggies. It worked out really well. I had chips & dip & peanuts for guests to snack on while we made the pizza & they chose their gifts.
