| One of my my next door neighbor's sons is "gettin' hitched" on May 03.Them being my neighbors since 1990 (and I simply cannot leave well enough alone) I am hoping to cook some snack for the reception party, which will be very large - my knowing how "well known" thier family is around this area.My primary concern is what (specific) "finger-food" would be more / most appropriate for a West Texas wedding reception?I am known to cook anything that is within my grasp, especially since I have cookware from all over the world.The couple is not expecting any GIFTS from me. - They know that I think too far outside the box than to expect any customary gifts from me. ;-')Thanks for snak-food ideas for this wedding reception. |

| What I would do is try looking up some local caterers websites in your area. They usually list their menus online so you could take some good ideas from them. I would just stick with some basics like cheese/crackers, meatballs, spicy chicken wings, chips/salsa, fried calamari, potato skins, ribs, roasted peppers, quesdillas, nachos, guacamole, etc. http://www.tasteoftx.com/recipes/Appetizers.htmlhttp://www.texascooking.com/features/nov2001partyfood.htm |

| Are you sure food for the reception is a good idea? If the wedding is big, I am sure that they are having it catered and planned. I think that your idea, though kind and good hearted, might become intrusive. Will there be enough plates? table ware? service for the food you make? Will it mess up the theme of the wedding (such as you bring Asian potstickers to a wedding dinner of Southern food) Another idea might be to do something special for the wedding night and morning just for the bride and groom. What about little petit fours for a romantic dessert for the two of them with a bottle of champagne? Or a selection of scones, muffins, and pastries for the morning after? |

| You can't beat some type of shrimp or beef or chicken on a stick or kabobs.You should also consider "mini" soup cups like homemade tomato soup or crab bisque or chicken with rice. Buy small plastic drinking cups and soup spoons. Serve the soup on trays. Each tray can be half soup, half bread and crackers.And may I also suggest lots of brownies as a surprise dessert. Walnut brownies, vanilla brownies, raspberry brownies, mint brownies, etc. Everybody loves brownies!Answered by: A Certified wedding specialist / A Professional bridal consultant / A Wedding ceremony officiant |
