Plan the perfect bridal shower with these food ideas. A traditional menu includes appetizers, tea party sandwiches, mini desserts, and signature cocktails.

Lemon Pizza At Paige's bridal shower, Missy's lemon pizza was served. The dough is layered with parmesan, mozzarella, garlic, and shallots, as well as thinly sliced lemons.
