The Perfect Appetizers

Once the ceremony is complete, there’s nothing your guests will appreciate more than a few trays of perfect wedding appetizers. Small bites can make the transition from ceremony to reception more comfortable and more fun. Plus, it’s another way to put a stylish polish on your celebration. A selection of mini crab cakes are perfect for a grab-and-go treat. Displaying them on a long piece of clear glass makes these delicacies even more appetizing.
