Wedding Reception-Finger Food Ideas

Do a search online for "Canapes" (otherwise known as crackers with stuff on them) and "Tea Sandwiches." Also ask your families, they may have recipes that they used back in the days when everyone entertained formally. My mom always made curried shrimp and waterchestnuts wrapped in bacon (shrimp was a separate thing, not together!). Go to different caterers/restaurants who host banquets and ask for printed copies of their event menus (tell them you are considering them for a cocktail/hors d`oeurves reception) and then get some ideas from those. One of my personal favorites, Lox (smoked salmon and cream cheese--throw some dill in there--on a table water cracker) and cucumber tea sandwiches.

I am getting married on saturday and havedecided to do the same thing. We are having mini sandwiches, homemade chocolates, chips and dip, mini sausages, things like that. If you need any ideas I would be happy to help you..
