Hors d’oeuvres –

Now that you’ve picked two strong, well balanced entrees {and a great vegetarian option}, and a first course which complements the meal….

It’s time to address the items for the cocktail reception – HAVE FUN…

I LOVE escargot- however I know I’m not getting many of the 200 guests at the wedding to agree – so it’s out as a first course…

Same thing applies to serving a pork or lamb entree {in many circles}…. sometimes beef, chicken and fish entrees are more widely accepted…

BUT, for your cocktail reception having something fun and different works! If you’re not an escargot kinda guy… wait for the Kobe Beef Sliders or the chicken sate…

Mix it up add in some fun retro foods, or your favorite junk food obsession – splurge!

Keep it balanced…make sure to include some things that are vegetarian, some that aren’t fried…

But you already took care of making sure there was an entree and first course that was a little safe so everyone is happy….

SO, HAVE SOME FUN with the cocktail reception!
