Tips for Selecting Best Finger Food for Party
Whether you’re looking for something easy that you can put together last minute with a few ingredients or a savory treat that will get your guests coming for seconds, there are plenty of cheap options on how to pull off a feast not just for their eyes, but also for stomachs.
When selecting party nibbles for your guests, don’t forget to offer a bit of variety. You should always add something healthier for those who are on a diet, or with dietary restrictions, but treats for the rest too.
Add a few options for vegetarians or vegans, and a few gluten-free ones too.
If you have small kids coming to a party, prepare a dedicated table for them with party nibbles, so they can reach their food easily (and obviously avoid hazards such as toothpicks in food).
Finger food is extremely suitable when you are expecting more guests or you want a cool party where people have fun, dance, and talk, not just sit at the table. Finger food for party is this part of your menu in the preparation of which you can show your creativity.
Even if you don’t have special party food plates and trays, paper baskets, or simple baking sheets could help you to make impressive cones and small baskets. Spread around enough forks so your guests don’t have to keep looking for cutlery to use, and also napkins.
Ice-cream waffle cones are great for fruits and vegetables.
Use fresh rosemary instead of wooden sticks for your party bites. Besides the impressive look, you will give your food extra flavor.
Your cake stand and cupcake tray are perfect to serve appetizers, dips, and finger foods. You don’t have to buy special trays to offer a beautiful serving. Wooden cutting boards are ideal to use for your party. You can use them for dessert charcuterie boards, burgers, and all types of meat nibbles.
