We did them for a rainbow shower. We were afraid to do then the day before so the day of it took two people almost an hour to make a platter. Some fruits are harder to spear than others. I think just arranging the fruit nicely on a platter or in a cute fruit salad bowl (like a carved out watermelon) would be much easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fun-fruit-ideas-for-a-shower#post-1857428 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 04:56:40 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1857428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fruit on a stick aka kabobs<br /> Strawberries stuffed with marscapone &amp; honey (image shows them topped with blueberries)<br /> Sliced melons on pretty platters (drizzle with honey &amp; lime to enhance sweetness) </p> [attach=3033/14/nbqeah.200x252.images-2.jpeg] [attach=3033/14/nbqeaj.600x400.3.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fun-fruit-ideas-for-a-shower#post-1857383 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 00:29:15 +0000 Boogs 1857383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about a fruit fondue?
