Wedding Reception Fingerfood

If you plan to cater your own wedding, consider serving wedding reception fingerfood to your guests. You can chop up lots of fresh fruits and vegetables ahead of time.

Get a variety of mini breads and fancy crackers. Top them with an assortment of thinly sliced deli meats and fancy cheeses and with dips or spreads and vegetables. You can also serve deviled eggs, cocktail sausages, shrimp, and chips and dips. Yum!

If you serve all of the wedding reception fingerfoods cold, you will not have to worry about keeping foods heated that should be hot. This will make serving so much easier on the friends and family members in charge of the food.

Several months ahead of time, approach all of those friends and relatives whom you think might be willing to help you. Get them all together and discuss who will make what and what specific duties they will be willing to perform at the wedding. If they will do this for you, you will have saved a lot of money, yet your guests will be eating delicious foods.

Get everything chopped and put together as much as is possible ahead of time. Pick up the special orders of mini breads from the bakery. Have the bakery slice them so the pieces are all the same thickness.

As a bride, you will not be doing the actual serving on your wedding day, but you can help with the menu and with some of the preparation. Be sure to give your helpers a special thank you gift with a note of appreciation.

Make sure that there is ample refrigerator space for cold food storage at the reception site. You will need large serving trays to display the food. Remember, it is all about presentation! Baking sheets covered in foil, parchment, or other pretty paper will work fine.

If you just want to have a dessert reception with wedding cake, you should offer a few other things as well, namely other desserts. Serve mixed nuts, mints, fine chocolates, pretzels, fresh fruits, cookies, brownies, lemon bars, candies, cupcakes, or any other kinds of sweet wedding fingerfood that you can think of.
