Good Finger Foods for Weddings
- Create a fruit display with bite-sized pieces of colorful fruit such as strawberries, watermelons, grapes, cantaloupes, blueberries and pineapples. A nice touch to the fruit display would be a chocolate fountain where guests can dip the fruit in chocolate using toothpicks. Other good, light appetizers to serve include a vegetable platter, cheese and cold meats, green and black olives, shrimp cocktail, bruschetta and salmon on toast.
- Since you are not having a formal meal with meat, vegetable and side, you can serve a variety of meats in bite-sized portions. Serve grilled beef, chicken or lamb kabobs, and provide some type of steak sauce or barbecue sauce that can be drizzled over them. Chicken wings are a yummy and filling finger food. One fun option is to have a chicken wing station with hot wings, mild wings, dry wings and teriyaki wings. Have assorted sauces such as blue cheese and garlic sauce on the table as well. Chicken tenders, meatballs and pigs in a blanket also all work well as easy and ample finger foods.
- This would be the more heavy hors d'oeuvres, such as deviled eggs, fried shrimp, fried macaroni balls, stuffed mushrooms and a variety of finger sandwiches. Serve white, whole wheat and pumpernickel sandwiches with a variety of filling such as tuna, chicken and egg salad. Quesadillas are also a good finger food option that will fill guests up. Serving sushi is also a good filling finger food because of the rice. Serve veggie sushi for those that don't care for fish.
- Aside from the wedding cake, you can offer guest a variety of fun and easy desserts. Serve bite-sized cookies, brownies and fudge. Try peanut balls, balls of peanut butter and chocolate rolled in graham crackers. Another idea is to serve cupcakes, decorated with your wedding monogram or colors. Cream scones work especially well for an afternoon or garden wedding.
