  If you are doing it during a mealtime, to fill people up it would be nice to have stations. I love the pasta stations (penne with vodka sauce especially) and the beef carving station (maybe with potatoes and/or fresh rolls). The Asian wok stations are also tasty.
  
  For hors d'oeuvres, I like stuffed mushrooms, mini crab cakes, pigs in a blanket, coconut shrimp, chicken or beef skewers (sesame chicken or teriyaki beef is good), spring rolls, scallops wrapped in bacon, hummus and pretzels, mini quiches, deviled eggs, chicken wings, shrimp.

  We're getting married at 2 and having an hors d'oeuvres reception. We're serving:
  
  Butlered mini crab cakes
  Butlered Virginia ham and cheese tart
  
  Tropical fruit display
  Baked brie with raspberry sauce and toasted walnuts
  International cheese display
  Roasted vegetables
  Phyllo wrapped asparagus with asiago cheese
  Teriyaki beef kabob
  Chicken Salad on soft rolls
  Pan-seared scallops with yellow-peppercorn sauce
  Baby twice baked potatoes stuffed with rosemary mashed potato and served with pan gravy
  
  There will also be an open bar. Because we're getting married in the afternoon, but having the reception through a dinner-time, we wanted people to have plenty of choices that are a bit heavier than usual, because we want people to be full!

  If the ceremony starts around 2-3pm and ends by dinner time, light appetizers are fine.  Otherwise, you do need to have the equivalent of a full meal.
  
  For a lunchtime cocktail reception, we're having:
  
  Spinach and artichoke dip with veggies
  Fruit display
  Cheese display
  A salmon mousse
  Flank steak with gorgonzola on a crostini
  Shrimp cocktail
  Chicken skewers
  Stuffed mushrooms with spinach and cheese
  Crab balls
  Chicken salad mini sandwiches
  Ham and honey mustard mini sandwiches
  Caesar salad
  A room temperature pasta dish
  Bruschetta

  We are having a very early afternoon reception. The menu is:
  
  Garden vegetable paradise
  Fruit display
  2 types of chicken wings
  Brushetta
  Chinese egg rolls
  BBq and Swedish meatballs
  
  No liquor bar but we will have an open soda and juice bar. Sparkling cider for the toast

  And the whole time, my future husband was in the room......

  Good, I hope it goes over well with our guests, then!  I've seen so many people say they barely got a bite to eat at their wedding and I'm determined not to let that happen to me.

  Here's what we're getting from the caterer:
  
  Teriyaki chicken kabobs
  Crab stuffed mushroom caps
  Tritip sliders
  Caprese kabobs
  Fruit platter
  
  I'm also doing a DIY dessert bar.

  This is a neglected planning bio.
  This is a belated married bio, with no reviews yet because I'm lazy.
  
  
  Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

  We're probably going to have butlered bacon wrapped scallops, ham on sweet potato biscuits, and sweet and sour meatballs.  We also will either have a meditteraniean display or fruit, veggie, and cheese display.  Then we're having a buffet dinner.
