Here are a few ideas:
Pinwheels
Ing:
* 1 (8 ounce) package whipped cream cheese
* 10 (10 inch) flour tortillas
* 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
* 1/4 cup black olives, chopped (optional)
* 3/4 cup chopped ham slices
Dir:
1!. Spread whipped cream cheese spread evenly on tortillas!. Sprinkle the green onions, black olives and chopped ham slices evenly between all ten of the tortillas!. Roll tortillas up jellyroll style!. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours!.
2!. Remove from refrigerator and slice at 3/4 inch intervals!. Arrange on tray and serve!.
**You can change it up a bit by adding a layer of baby spinach leaves, or changing the lunch meat (turkey, for example)
~~Cheese & Pineapple
Ing:
* Cheddar cheese, cut into cubes of approximately ? an inch
* Pineapple cubes
* Toothpicks
Dir:
First cut the cheddar cheese into cubes and put one cube onto one toothpick!. Then take a cube of fresh or canned pineapple and put it next to the cheese on the toothpick!. Cheese and pineapple on picks is quick and easy to prepare and the combination of flavors is absolutely delicious!.
~~Cucumber Sandwiches
Ing:
* Thinly sliced bread

You must be very straight forward; the true friend ought to be "friendly", and panic is not the way to invite friends; be very much simple and give them what ever you can arrange easily!. They are coming to have a laugh not food!. Laugh is itself the food!.
Once again, be simple!.
