It's always fun planning a baby shower. From the theme to the games to the food that is served. The goal is to make the mom-to-be feel loved and for the day to go off without a hitch. Such take a bit of planning as well as research. A major element of any party's success: the food.

When it comes to proper baby shower food, you'll want to first consider the time of the shower itself. This will help you determine what kind of food should be served. If for instance, the shower is scheduled around 11 a.m. or noon, it would be appropriate to serve a sit-down meal.

The guys of course would be in charge of the grill.

And finally, have fun and make this day a truly memorable one for your favorite mom-to-be!
