I am currently planning my wedding. I am trying to lay out the menu. I need some idea for appetizers or finger foods to serve. Thanks so much for the help!!!
So it will be hot and there will be lots of fresh produce to work with. How many guests do you want to feed, at about what price point per person? Do you have access to sufficient refrigerator space and do you have some help with the cooking and serving? Is there any one thing you absolutely must have to be happy (other than the cake, LOL?)? Are there foods that MUST NOT appear, for whatever reason? Do any special dietary needs (kosher, vegan. diabetes, etc.) need to be considered?
What do you want the "feel" of the reception to be?
- Elegant and classic?
- Boy, that was a fun party?
- Amazing food?
- Definitely a reflection of [the bride's] personality?
Thanks, TaxLady! I have no idea how many weddings I have planned and/or catered over the years, so the questions are born of experience. Unless you start with some idea of where the bride wants to go, you never end up getting her there.
I don't know why my questions got a thumbs down icon. Didn't even know such a thing was done on the friendliest cooking forum

Well first, congratulations on your upcoming wedding!I am currently planning my wedding. I am trying to lay out the menu. I need some idea for appetizers or finger foods to serve. Thanks so much for the help!!!
Oh man....a roll your own sushi station would be awesome. I got married on the beach in the Philippines and it was a small crowd so we just had dinner at the restaurant of the resort. We had ribs.LOL! I'll just wait for the bride to chime back in, so I can decide whether beaten biscuits with shaved country ham, blini with 3 caviars, chex mix for a crowd, the roll your own sushi station, or some other recipe is useful to her.
You did a great job demonstrating presentation!Presentation counts for a LOT even if the food you're serving is relatively simple.
Good luck!
I tried to edit that thumbs down, but wasn't able to, sorry!
