Wedding Reception Finger Food Recipes | Wedding Reception Food Displays

Did you know that when he married Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, wedding lunch consisted of a fruit cup, chicken and ice cream in the shape of a rose? That's what I served at a wedding these days, even at the wedding of the year. Nowadays, even married couples who have very small or low-cost dish made to parties want to impress your guests.

It's not just food that makes a statement, the presentation, too. In fact, sometimes the way food is presented can be even more important than the food itself. Some couples continue to serve the wedding dinner in the usual way (similar to a typical restaurant), but many are seeking ways to make a memorable statement with the sample of food or to tie into a theme.

The presentation of the wedding meal is often very elaborate, but you can also create an impression of going in the opposite direction. One of the trends in receipts is to serve the family style dinner, with great meals past. This creates a sense of intimacy in the marriage home. This service is especially suited for weddings held in rustic environments, such as vineyards. Family-style meals tend to be more simple food, but often things are very delicious made with fresh seasonal ingredients.

To serve stations, couples will often create a theme for each station is linked with food. A wedding I attended had a great seafood station in the center of the room. The stage was set with nautical paraphernalia, such as cable boxes and covers, oysters on the half shell, and so on. The screen was almost as impressive as the food: the mountains of lobster tails, crab claws, peeled shrimp, oysters and mussels. There was a presentation that your guests will never forget.
