I&#8217;m talking event planning&#8230; not just the weekly meal planning situation! And recently it seems that everyone has been on the bridal shower train. So I spent some time last week re-living all the showers I had been to in the past 10-ish years to put together an incredible Bridal Shower Menu!!<\/h2>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-28101\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.whatsgabycooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/WGC-Avocado-Toast-copy.jpg\" alt=\"Avocado Toast 5 Ways from www.whatsgabycooking.com (@whatsgabycookin)\" width=\"870\" height=\"1088\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.whatsgabycooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/WGC-Avocado-Toast-copy.jpg 870w, https:\/\/cdn.whatsgabycooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/WGC-Avocado-Toast-copy-480x600.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.whatsgabycooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/WGC-Avocado-Toast-copy-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.whatsgabycooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/WGC-Avocado-Toast-copy-819x1024.jpg 819w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been to plenty of showers at fun restaurants, cool event spaces, and peoples homes. They are all special in their own way but my most favorite are the ones at various homes. They feel more casual which is more my jam, and the food is made with extra love since it&#8217;s usually cooked by a handful of women attending the shower and you can kick your shoes off and relax a bit! So&#8230; if I were to host a bridal shower this is what my menu would be! It&#8217;s brunchy-lunch focused, not too complicated, perfect for any time of day and the leftovers would be BOMB!
