Need Help: AHR food ideas for 1pm

chief0401

We are having an at home celebration after we return from our honeymoon since we are having a destination wedding in Costa Rica. It will be for about 150 people. Thinking about having it around 1pm-ish or 2 (haven't decided on the exact time yet).  We can't really decide on food and need help. We were thinking small sandwiches, build your own salad bar, appetizers, fruit kabobs, etc but that is just thought. Any suggestions or ideas for food would be great. Thank you!

[QUOTE]I think that sounds great.  Maybe some of the apps can be some twist on Costa Rican cuisine.

Lol, i think mine got deleted too. I was at one that had a pasta bar. 3 different pastas, 3 different sauces, and toppings or other items to mix in ex ham, mushrooms! It went over well.

thanks for all the ideas. I love the themed ones, like the Hawaiian one you did. Maybe some apps from Costa Rica! Thanks everyone.

I think that's a great idea! I love bringing your wedding home with you and using elements of it for your AHR.

We went to a backyard casual reception that had a company cater hamburgers.  Her parents provided salads, sides, etc but the cooking was taken care of.
