| 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 |

Everything About Your Wedding

Where and How to Start?
There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky!
Wedding Invitation
Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you.
Wedding Attire
Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire.
Wedding Flowers
Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost.
Wedding Ceremony Decoration
Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority...
Wedding Music
Music for your wedding ceremony could consist of live or recorded performances.
Wedding Photography
Pictures are priceless, and you want to be sure you have plenty of good pictures of your special day.
Wedding Favors
Some brides don’t like the idea of giving gifts to her guests, but we think it’s a nice gesture as a thank you...
Wedding Food
Wedding food can take a huge chunk out of your wedding budget.
Wedding Cake
Your wedding cake is the centerpiece of the reception. It is a scrumptious dessert as well as part of a tradition
Wedding Party
The question of whether or not to serve alcohol at your wedding is one that can cause dissension in the ranks of family.
