1. Caprese Bites

Summer snacks are best when they’re light and refreshing. A smart option for a refreshing savory treat are these caprese bites. They’re all the best of a caprese salad–tomato, basil, and fresh mozerella–without worrying about plates and forks.

2. Rosemary Goat Cheese Scones

Pairing the savoriness of rosemary with the sharp flavor of goat cheese, these rustic goat cheese scones are sure to be a hit. They’re stiff enough that guests can mingle while keeping a scone in one hand. After all, when it comes to summer bridal shower foods, handheld is always best.

3. Yogurt Parfaits

How cute are these yogurt parfaits? Fill small plastic cups with layers of granola, flavored yogurt, and fresh fruit. Place a tiny spoon in each cup so guests don’t have to look around for utensils. A parfait tip: choose fruits that are in season.

4. Strawberry Shortcake Jars

Strawberry shortcake is the dessert of choice when it comes to summer. Shortcake is light and airy, pairing well with in-season strawberries and fresh whipped cream. Rather than making a full-sized cake, add each element to small mason jars and hand these out to hungry guests.

5. S’more Pops

Of course, you can’t think about hot summer nights without conjuring images of sitting around a campfire with a golden brown marshmallow on a stick. Even if you’re skipping the campfire, that doesn’t mean your summer bridal shower can’t have s’mores. Serve bite-size s’more pops with a chocolate-dipped marshmallow rolled in a bit of crushed graham cracker.
