Your wedding is a
very special event and every couple wants the best of everything on their
special day including venue, decorations, flowers, music, lighting and food.
And what we learn from our experiences is that the food detailing takes the
longest. Once you start researching, you will chance upon multiple options to
choose from.
The initial choice is
whether you want a formal and elaborate sit-down dinner or prefer something
more casual and quirky.
The fact is that most
guests now prefer the latter and are more than happy to reach out for finger
food that is being offered to them by servers who mill through the guests. It’s
also great to see a variety of finger foods at the buffet table and your guests
have the flexibility of tasting bite-sized pieces of various foods.
Mini food is a
creative way to expose your wedding guests to a myriad of food to choose from.
You can feature many different miniature food options on your buffet table or
appetizer trays. Anything in itty bitty form just seems to be so much more
appetizing. With the mini food trend rapidly growing for weddings and other
party events, mini food ideas have become an endless array of unique little
bites; everything from mini sliders to
mini versions of mac and cheese etc.
Pinterest is flooded
with options to curate these custom made mini treats. Mini foods can spice up
your reception, cocktail hour, or even the dessert portion of your wedding. Mini
foods for weddings can bring that over-the-top relish to your occasion.
Looking for Cost Efficieny?
Reconsider that one!
While cutting down on
the portion size may seem an ideal option to cut down on cost, you ought to
also consider that creating individual miniatures is more labor intensive for a caterer than a
full batch of mac-n-cheese or anything alike. Hence, having these might not
really help on the cost efficiency bit and you might in some cases end up
paying more.
As adorable as these
miniatures look it only wise to have some regular options and not go completely
miniature portion size on your guests.
No one can eat just one!
Considering the mini
versions, there will definitely be guests that are bound to gorge on the treats
that elate their taste buds. Consider this while you share the head count with
your caterer. Accommodate the second and third helpings. It’s always better to
have more than less when you are hosting a wedding. You don’t want to be caught
in an awry situation and be worrying about shortage of food when you need to be
enjoying yourself.
Here are some mini
versions of Party Favorites for some creative menu inspiration!

Guests have a
definite attraction for mini. The food looks great, and the Chef can get
creative with the plating. Finger food at a wedding, it gives your guests the
freedom to move around and mingle with the rest of the guests, even as they
enjoy the food. There is a certain amount of satisfaction to being able to pick
up little bits of food with your fingers and switching to something else that
lures the eye.

If you want
your wedding menu to
reflect your personal tastes, choosing miniature versions of your favorite
foods is a good option. If you love cheeseburgers, what better food to serve at
your reception! When you choose a food that may be considered more casual, the
key to making it feel more luxe is all in the presentation. Instead of big,
sloppy portions, miniature versions are clean and even sort of chic!
