Food: Passed Hors d'Oeuvres

Wyscan

During cocktail hour, it's nice to have passed hors d'oeuvres for guests to nibble on. When choosing which items to serve at this time, consider this: finger foods are easy. Include at least one vegetarian option, and one season-appropriate option. Cheese and fruit plates are always popular. But don't feel limited in your choices. Appetizers are the easy part and can help ease guests into a fun feeling for the night. Try to be a bit whimsical! It can help get the party started. For instance, a co-worker just told me of a wedding she attended where the bride and groom were both baseball and softball enthusiasts, and served stadium food appetizers such as mini hot dogs and mini nacho plates. What a hit!
