Bridal Shower Food Ideas: Italian Appetizers

A bridal shower should be fun and relaxing for the bride, but this doesn’t mean it can’t be enjoyable for the hostesses too. It is possible to plan a bridal shower that doesn’t require much effort but appears elegant and elaborate.

One way to do this is to simplify the bridal shower food. Rather than providing a full meal for guests, why not have a variety of Italian appetizers?

To have a delicious and unique burger, try an Italian style prosciutto burger. If you or your friends and family like tender, rich flavor, then Italian traditional proscuitto is the perfect choice. Just simply mix diced prosciutto in with the beef. I suggest using one package of Volpini Diced Prosciutto for each pound of ground beef. It really is simple to do and adds greatly to your usual run-of-the-mill hamburger. Jazz it up even more by topping it with a slice of tomato, fresh basil leaves and mozzarella. These burgers make an effortless and crowd-pleasing addition to a camping barbecue as well. Your camping buddies will be pleasantly surprised when you cook up this treat instead of the usual grilled hot dog.

While your guests await the main course, delight them with Italian appetizers hot off the grill. One great option is prosciutto-wrapped shrimp skewers. These skewers… Continue reading
