1. cheese platter with crackers and cut up meats
2. fruit platter made dip, 1 container of marshmello creme and 1 8oz container cream cheese mixed together.
3. mini sandwiches
4. make wraps with meat cheese and garden cream cheese and cut into small rounds
5. chips and dips
A lot of the nicer appetizers are things served warm...so if you're able either to assemble or make them at the location, all the better. Here's some suggestions:
Pepper-crusted tenderloin crostini :http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Peppe…
Gouda and apple puff pockets (for vegetarians): http://www.puffpastry.com/recipedetail.a…
Bacon-Crab Mushroom caps (can also do the filling for cherry tomatoes): and can serve hot or cold:

Blanched asparagus wrapped with prosciutto
Rosemary roasted cashews (Barefoot Contessa - recipe online)
Cold shrimp and two dipping sauces like spicy tomato and curry/chutney/cilantro mayo
Roast beef, roasted red peppers and Boursin cheese on a wrap, cut into bit size pieces - stick with a toothpick to hold them together
Fillo cups (find them in the freezer at your supermarket) a small piece of brie. Warm in a 350 oven 5 - 10 minutes - top with hot pepper jelly or (my favorite) Stonewall Kitchen Roasted Garlic and Onion Jam
bruschetta is always nice but try two ways: 1 bruschetta with goats cheese, char grilled capsicum and balsamic vinegar and also one slice of bruschetta with cream cheese, avocado, smokes salmon and fresh dill

There are tons of ideas online. A very easy one is softened cream cheese spreat on sliced ham. Roll the ham w/ cream cheese on the inside and slice 1/4" slices. Like wagon wheels.
shrimps with the tails on and 2 kinds of dips about 4 shrimp per person.
