Appetizer Suggestions

[scout251]

So my mom is getting married in May and my aunt and I are throwing her a little bridal day to celebrate. We are going to do one of those painting/drinking things from 11-1 and then we're going out for lunch. I was going to bring some wine and champagne for the painting activity and wanted to bring some snacks too since lunch will be a bit late. What are some things I can bring that aren't super filling and don't need to be heated up?

Prosciutto melon balls, bruschetta on mini bread loaves (the bread doesn't have to be toasted), I have had meatballs as an appetizer and they were purposely served cold and they were good. Cheese/pepperoni and crackers are always a crowd pleaser.

Sounds like a good excuse for guacamole.

Except it's pretty filling and might make everyone want margaritas so maybe not...

Assorted cheeses and crackers. Fruit and vegetable plate. That's what I love ... I think it goes great with wine. Oh and some chocolates or fudge.

My ex H is a chef and I did a few parties with him and he catered some weddings. He has some good recipes and here are a few things that were popular.

A cheese platter made on a big butcher block mixed with fruits.

Cheese stuffed cherry tomatoes

Black olive tapenade on thick crackers.

Fruit tray with dip. (Dip mix together marshmallow fluff and 1 package softned cream cheese with a beater) Easy but delicious.

Mmmmm blini and smoked salmon are my favourite. Super simple to put together with some creme fraiche.

Pickle roll-ups, cheese/ meat and crackers.

It's kind of like a teeny pancake.

They traditionally come with creme fraiche and topped with smoked salmon. You are meant to eat them with champagne (the best part!)
