Updated:<\/strong> November 25, 2017<\/p>\n

One of the most expensive items in a wedding budget is food for the reception. \u00a0It\u2019s also one of the most confusing, especially if you are doing it yourself or trying to keep costs low.<\/p>\n

One popular option for \u201ckeeping it simple\u201d and affordable is to serve finger foods \u2013 also called hors d\u2019oeuvres or appetizers. They\u2019re smaller versions of the food we all love and can help out with the overall budget of the big day by nixing a full, sit-down dinner or buffet.<\/p>\n

How do you slash the price tag on the event though without nixing any elegance? Well, it\u2019ll be all in the presentation and service. How should they look? How will you serve them? What should you choose? Let\u2019s get inspired.<\/p>\n

Serving Up Hors d\u2019oeuvres<\/b><\/h2>\n

There are two main ways to serve your appetizers and allow your guests to fully enjoy each and every bite. The best part about these delicious treats is that your family and friends don\u2019t have to eat everything, instead, they can choose what they\u2019d like. That\u2019s made easier with how the small dishes are served.<\/p>\n

Self-Service Line<\/h3>\n

\"Self-Service

You can easily set up your appetizers and small dishes in a buffet-style line that guests can walk through at their leisure. They can grab whatever strikes their fancy and enjoy.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s great about this choice is the design option behind it. The food comes a part of the reception\u2019s overall decor. In tiers, on cascading trays, the possibilities are endless in terms on how to present the bites in a beautiful way.<\/p>\n

Walking Waiters<\/h3>\n

\"Self-Service

via<\/a><\/p>\n

Your other option, for a more formal affair, is to have walking waiters with trays. These servers can surf the crowd and offer up all of the delicious treats for the guests to try.<\/p>\n

Each tray would have a different hors d\u2019oeuvre to choose from. And it\u2019s really the best way to go when you\u2019re envisioning more of a black-tie event. Having passed hors d\u2019oeuvres as well as a table spread is also an option if you need more food for a larger crowd.<\/p>\n

Wedding Hors d\u2019oeuvres Ideas <\/b><\/h2>\n

Whether you decide to go with a lighter menu for warmer, outdoor venues or a heavier menu that includes more preparation, choose your hors d\u2019oeuvres can be a lot of fun. There are so many unique and innovative options. Go with what you love and what fits your wedding style. And then \u2026 enjoy!<\/p>\n

Prep & Cleaning <\/b><\/h2>\n

Most of the time, your venue\u2019s service will be providing both the prep and cleanup for the event – including the food.<\/p>\n

But if you\u2019ve decided to go at it in a DIY style. Here are some quick pointers.<\/p>\n

For a Light Hor D\u2019oeuvre Menu<\/h3>\n

Foods in this category are usually simple, easy to prepare well ahead of time, and have simple handling arrangements (usually nothing more than refrigeration until set out for serving, if that).<\/p>\n

If you are having a late-morning or mid-afternoon reception, light hors d\u2019oeuvres are usually a good option. \u00a0Light hors d\u2019oeuvres are also the best appetizers if you plan to serve a meal at your reception.<\/p>\n

Light hors d\u2019oeuvres generally are served cold or at room temperature and may include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • fruit<\/li>\n
  • vegetables<\/li>\n
  • dip (for fruits and veggies)<\/li>\n
  • cubed cheese<\/li>\n
  • soft cheese, such as a cheese ball or whipped cream cheese, as a spread<\/li>\n
  • crackers<\/li>\n
  • olives<\/li>\n
  • nuts<\/li>\n
  • candy<\/li>\n
  • small sweet pastries like cookies or mini-tarts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    For a Heavy Hor D\u2019oeuvre Menu<\/h3>\n

    Whether served hot or cold, though, heavy hors d\u2019oeuvres generally require more care in handling in order to keep them safe and appetizing for consumption, and thus require more planning.<\/p>\n

    Heavy hors d\u2019oeuvres are usually more expensive than light hors d\u2019oeuvres since meat is usually an expensive food item, and also due to the greater care required in handling. They are best for receptions that are held around mid-day or evening, since these times coincide with meal times.<\/p>\n

    Heavy hors d\u2019oeuvres often have meat and usually must be served and maintained at a certain safe handling temperature, whether hot or cold. \u00a0Examples of heavy hors d\u2019oeuvres:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • shaved deli meat with cheese on crackers<\/li>\n
    • chicken wings<\/li>\n
    • meatballs<\/li>\n
    • pigs in a blanket<\/li>\n
    • cubed chicken, beef, or pork, with dipping sauce<\/li>\n
    • hot cheese dip (for meat or chips)<\/li>\n
    • crab dip<\/li>\n
    • p\u00e2t\u00e9 and toast<\/li>\n
    • soup<\/li>\n
    • small savory pastries like mini-quiches<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
