Party foods~finger foods??!


Question: I desided to have a Cocktail Party for my Wedding Reception instead of a regualar sit down dinner. I am doing this so that I can serve a larger variety of foods instead of just serving one main dish with a limited amount of sides.

Here are what I have thought of so far but I want MANY more ideas...thanks you so much!

Finger Sandwiches
Crab Dip Tray
Fruit Tray
Veggie Tray and Dips
Meat, Cheese, Cracker Tray
Meat Balls
Little Smokies
Stuffed Mushrooms
Cheesecake Slices
Cookies
Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
Vanilla Dipped Strawberries
Rolls


ANY suggestions are welcomed! Thanks you sooo much!!

bacon wrapped water chestnuts are always a crowd pleaser, some kind of chicken wing/tender would be good as well, maybe consider something like shrimp cocktail or smoked salmon. i was recently at a reception like that where they had a whole smoked salmon with various creamcheeses and crackers to serve with it OMG it was fabulous

Corn dog nuggets
Chicken nuggets
French fries
Tator tots
Brownies
Chips

What about beef or chicken satay and cocktail shrmp?

try putting some potato skins (potatoes sliced in half with sour cream bacon bits butter ETC.) Motzeralla sticks

try putting out some chocolate crackers(2 ritz crackers dipped in white or milk chocolate with peanut butter between them)

Hope ths hlps

I have often found that veggie pizza and fruit pizza go over better than veggie or fruit trays.

I would also add a cheese ball. My personal favorite is a Gouda cheese ball (fantastic, lots of compliments--could get you the recipe).

Also, a friend of mine makes FANTASTIC shrimp dip...

How about cooking a turkey or ham so you can have that on the buns, different types of bars, punch for the kids', pasta salads.

King prawns wrapped in bacon (sound strange but had them in spain and were lovely)

Tomoto Brushetta's

Olives

Pickled Onions

Onion Baji's

Cocktail sausages

Do lots of dips like hummus, 7 layer dip, babaganush, guacamole, salsa, cheese, artichoke
Maybe you could do a chocolate fountain.
