I'm a big fan of at-home bridal showers. If you have a large space, it's nice to have all the women over for something low key and casual. Yes, that means you'll have to clean up after company has left instead of leaving a mess behind in a catering hall, but it's actually not that bad. We host a football party here every weekend, and I always feel like I spend more time cleaning up than actually watching football. Our guests all have a great time, though, and that's what matters.
Especially if you're hosting someone's bridal shower. It's not about you and your good time. You want to make sure your bride and her guests have a good time. And if that means you have to spend more time washing dishes than watching the bride open dishes, that's okay.
Preparing food ahead of time will make your life infinitely easier. So recipes that can be made, then refrigerated and taken out when necessary, are best. And super simple recipes are perfect too ... like our Yogurt-Covered Grapes Dessert.
Yogurt-Covered Grapes Dessert
This recipe makes about four servings. Multiply it based on the number of guests you're hosting.
What You'll Need:
- 5.3oz container of plain Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 drops vanilla
- Red grapes
- Green grapes
- Walnuts (optional)
What You'll Do:
Mix together the Greek yogurt, sugar, and vanilla.
Drop in the grapes and coat them.
Using a toothpick, drop the grapes into a mason jar (because everything is cuter in a mason jar). You can also toss in walnuts when the jar is one-third of the way full, then two-thirds full, then on top.
Store them in the fridge (and stack them, if you need) until it's time for dessert.
Super easy and delicious.

I wonder about freezing the yogurt grapes! I think that might be good and handy too?!
