A friend (of course) is trying to decide between this and a full sit down meal for a wedding reception. I'm just curious about that term.

Most weddings I've been to lately have served "heavy hors d'oeuvres" in lieu of a meal. I've seen pretty much everything you can think of: chicken strips, egg rolls, crab cakes, meatballs, bruschetta, meat and veggie skewers, fried mac and cheese, sliders, mini shrimp cocktails.... I'm not certain that any money would really be saved by going that route, but it's a good way to offer your guests a wide variety of options.

Really?! The word "heavy" and you stray away from a wrestling gif? Come on man! You're better than that.

If I was catering an event and they wanted "heavy hors d'oeuvres" I would make the following:

- Chipotle glazed lamb lollipops
- smoked brisket sliders
- lobster bisque shots
- chicken cordon bleu skewers
- shrimp cocktail
- chevre and asparagus deviled eggs
- bacon and pickled jalapeno deviled eggs
- lemongrass chicken skewers
- lemongrass beef skewers

I would also offer a cheese and antipasto table, a fruit and veggie table, and assorted bruschetta.

I'd charge $65 per person.

Went to a wedding 3 weeks ago. The hour dourves were very filling. Many options. Nice wedding. First Jewish wedding I've attended. Saw that the groom was arrested for trying to have sex with a child this week. What the **** is wrong with folks.

Yea, I know the groom. He is a nerdy type. No kids. Still can't believe it. I feel sorry for his bride.

Well, that was one hell of a thread derail.....

What if there was a band and dance involved at the reception? Would a sit-down meal be more in order? The more they eat, the less they drink! Still asking for a friend, of course.....

I would still prefer the hors d'oeuvres rather than the choose between beef, chicken, or fish dinners.

More variety. Hot and cold options. And don't forget those cute little plates they are served on.

If this is a wedding in Texas and not held in a baptist church, it doesn't matter. Everyone will drink a lot. If that cost is an issue for your "friend," then just do wine and beer.
