Trends of 2009 – Ethnic Hors D’oeuvres & Appetizers

I don’t know if this post’s inspiration came from the delicious veggie burrito I had last night or what?! Yummy! But the trend reports conquer! 2009 is all about the tangy, spicy, savory, exotic tastiness of your wedding cocktail hors d’oeuvres. So watch out crab cakes and mini burgers – bold sippy soups, chilled tofu, and asian-infused wraps are fighting for the platters carried by the server’s hands!

Finger foods at your cocktail hour provide easy and mouthwatering goodies for your guests. And based from my work and personal experience, guests usually remember what the food tasted like and how much fun they had at your wedding (yes, of course they will remember how beautiful you looked!). So use your food choices and style as a way to win your guests hearts! And it’s a way for them to try something new! Chat with your catering company about ideas and be sure to ask about their ethnic specialities are – don’t forget to taste!
