But everything else veggie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-shower-for-a-vegetarian#post-1048493 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 07:35:47 +0000 looch 1048493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it kind of depends on the host's ability to prepare vegetarian food, I know my way around a kitchen, but I still struggle to come up with sastisfying meatless meals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-shower-for-a-vegetarian#post-1048488 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 07:33:44 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1048488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a vegetarian, and i say provide meat options for the other guests! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-shower-for-a-vegetarian#post-1047700 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 18:54:49 +0000 allison 1047700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vegetarian here, and I say no meat. There was a lot of meat at my casual, family-only shower, and it made me a little sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-shower-for-a-vegetarian#post-1047660 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 18:40:22 +0000 Katrocap 1047660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a vegetarian, too, and I say no meat. I think it's a very sweet and considerate gesture to throw your friend a shower and include all vegetarian options. It's nice of you to be thinking of it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-shower-for-a-vegetarian#post-1047658 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 18:40:10 +0000 Ginabean3 1047658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do all veg......:-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-shower-for-a-vegetarian#post-1047632 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 18:32:38 +0000 rachiecakes 1047632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a vegetarian and I think it's really cool that so many people would do an all vegetarian shower for a vegetarian friend! I always think people are going to be disappointed, so I usually include a meat dish at catered parties. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-shower-for-a-vegetarian#post-1047452 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 16:57:29 +0000 Pink Champagne 1047452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do all vegetarian, but depending on the time of day, do hearty vegetarian. There are tons of creative vegetarian dishes that are more than just, say, pasta with tomato sauce. As long as its plentiful, I doubt anyone would notice if there wasn't meat.<br /> I mean, most showers I've been to have been heavy apps anyway, so cheese plate, fruit, veggie tray, maybe a pasta salad.<br /> OR, you could do brunch... Mini quiches, yogurt parfaits, mimosa bar, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-shower-for-a-vegetarian#post-1047439 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 16:48:11 +0000 dojo 1047439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm mostly vegetarian (actually mostly vegan - I just do fish occasionally) and I told the host it was perfectly fine to have meat at my shower. But I agree with others that all veggie options would be nice too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-shower-for-a-vegetarian#post-1047386 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 16:29:58 +0000 Dandelion 1047386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NorCalWayfarer: That would just be cruel...and make for an interesting cake! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-shower-for-a-vegetarian#post-1047384 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 16:29:20 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1047384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: Hahahh I read "I'd do everything meat" :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-shower-for-a-vegetarian#post-1047381 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 16:28:09 +0000 MrsH 1047381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do veggie only. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-shower-for-a-vegetarian#post-1047339 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 16:19:52 +0000 Dandelion 1047339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd do everything no meat.

It would be kinda sad if there was a delicious meat item that she couldn't eat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-shower-for-a-vegetarian#post-1047281 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 16:01:25 +0000 nana87 1047281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm I'm a vegetarian and I would want there to be veggie options that include protein but I wouldn't care otherwise! I know my friends and family eat meat so i wouldn't expect it to be all veggie at all. Like, DH eats meat so whenever we host, like have a dinner party or at our wedding we have all kinds of options. My bridal shower wasnt all veggie and I was more than okay with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-shower-for-a-vegetarian#post-1047267 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 15:58:31 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1047267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd do all vegetarian. Not like the guests will be missing out on anything (well, other than meat, ha!) and not like she is vegan/gluten-free (which would be a little more challenging for a crowd). I agree that guests can go one meal without meat and it is a nice gesture to the guest of honor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-shower-for-a-vegetarian#post-1047257 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 15:56:47 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1047257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: if I was a pregnant lady, I'd want to eat allllll my shower food:) num,num </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-shower-for-a-vegetarian#post-1047249 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 15:55:37 +0000 heffalump 1047249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: I know she'd be ok with it if we served meat. But she might be happier if she could actually eat all the food served.... right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-shower-for-a-vegetarian#post-1047231 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 15:50:32 +0000 swurlygurl 1047231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it depends on a couple things. Is she vegetarian for moral purposes? Definitely no meat. Is she vegetarian because meat makes her sick? Definitely no meat. Is she vegetarian because she's indifferent so figures she might as well not eat it, possibly for health purposes? It might be okay to include something small with meat in it, if you think she'd be okay with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-shower-for-a-vegetarian#post-1047229 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 15:50:16 +0000 autumnlove 1047229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm, I would include meat options. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-shower-for-a-vegetarian#post-1047223 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 15:48:02 +0000 mrsmate 1047223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My rule of thumb is, never serve food that the guest of honor can't eat, so vegetarian all the way. I even follow this rule for DD's birthday parties, except for alcohol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-shower-for-a-vegetarian#post-1047164 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 15:32:49 +0000 heffalump 1047164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePeony: We don't have a time yet so I don't know what meal.... but we always do full meals.

There are a ton of interesting options out there. Is it going to be a full meal or just hors d'oeuvres? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-a-shower-for-a-vegetarian#post-1047145 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 15:28:12 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1047145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All vegetarian...meat eaters can go one meal without meat.
