Finger food recipes for a couples wedding shower??!


Question: Finger food recipes for a couples wedding shower!?!?
We are giving a couples shower for my brother and his fiance!. There will be about 20 couples at the shower!. We are wanting to serve finger foods, but are concerned that finger foods are not going to be "manly" enough for all the guys at the shower!. We just don't want to grill or have any type of "sit down and eat" foods, because there will be so much going on, and there will be drinking and we don't want every one to think they have to sit down and eat a "meal"!. Have any ideas or good finger food recipes!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sausage balls or sausage rolls are good!. These are both Bisquick recipes!. For the sausage rolls you mix 2 cups of Bisquick with 2/3 cup of milk!. Separate the dough into 2 balls!. Roll out half the dough and spread 1/2 lb sausage on it!. Roll it up like a jelly roll then wrap it in wax paper and then aluminum foil!. Do the same with the other half of the dough!. Freeze the rolls!. When ready to bake, thaw slightly then cut into 1/4" circles!. Bake for 15 minutes at 350degrees!.
