Hosting a waffle bar for a bridal shower is fun and easy! The addition of a juice bar makes it even more special
One of my favorite parties to throw is a bridal shower. It is just exciting to be a part of such a fun new beginning. A young couple in love. I love to see the bride’s face as she talks about her fiancé and see and feel her excitement!
Bridal Shower
I recently gave a bridal shower for the daughter of a friend and had previously done showers for her other two daughters. Until today’s Waffle Bar Bridal Shower, the Crepe Bar Bridal Shower I did for one of the girls has been one of my favorite parties. I wanted to put a spin on the Crepe Bar idea so I came up with a Waffle Bar. We love waffles at our house and dressing them up with all kinds of sweet and savory toppings.
How To Put Together a Waffle Bar
I divided the table into two different sections, a sweet section and a savory section
Sweet Waffle Toppings:
- Lemon Curd
- Whipped Cream
- Greek Yogurt
- Sprinkles
- Jam
- Nutella
- Granola
- Berries such as raspberries, strawberries and blueberries
My favorite combination is lemon curd, berries and whipped cream.
Savory Waffle Toppings
- Caramelized onions
- Sauteed Peppers
- Eggs
- Pecans
- Brie
- Basil
- Bacon
My favorite savory combination is bacon brie, basil and a little peach jam, it’s so amazing.
The guests all had a great time creating their own fun combinations.
How to Keep the Waffles Warm?
I just kept the hot waffles coming and used my amazing Overnight Yeast Waffle Recipe. You could also use this Liege Belgium Waffle Recipe. I had three waffle irons going, so there was always a warm one available.
If you don’t have multiple waffle irons, you can make waffles ahead of time and then keep them warm on a baking sheet in the oven at about 200 degrees F.
I also had a trio of syrups to put on the waffle bar which included Buttermilk Syrup, Cinnamon Syrup and Maple Syrup.

These would help make our next church activity look much fancier without the added cost!

The shower was a fabulous treat for my eyes and tastebuds. Thank you for all the creative energy you put into it! We were all delighted for the bride, and the celebration of the shower reflected everyone’s joyful energy and great wishes! You are a creative genius, Leigh Anne.

I would love to use Chinet Cut Crystal to help elevate my cousin’s rehearsal dinner. We are having a BBQ theme rehearsal dinner at a local park and Chinet would help make for an easy clean up!! I would use the crystal cups to put in fruit salad and the plates would be used for the BBQ chicken and ribs.

I love to throw showers and parties! Whether it be a baby shower, wedding shower, an engagement party or whatever the reason to celebrate I’m glad to be the hostess.
These plates and cups look so stylish I wouldn’t mind using them instead of real glassware and plates. They look elegant enough on their own!
