Bridal Shower Finger Sandwiches Recipes

With this being the time of year for bridal showers, all the women involved with our bridal shower decided to make finger sandwiches. To make it easier, everyone shared in making the food and each of us had something else to do as well as making the sandwiches. It really was easy and we had a fun time getting everything together. And we all got together to make the sandwiches. It amazes me how you can get these made when you are laughing so hard!

We bought our bread from a bakery. We also had it tinted to match the colors, yeah we are a different bunch! But fun we did have! Next we cut off the crust, we also used fancy toothpicks stuck in the sandwiches. Not in all of them just here and there. Now there are different spreads you can use. So everyone found one they wanted to make.

Seafood Filling

• 1- 6 1/2 oz. shrimp, tuna or crab (in cans)
