Party Food Ideas- Mini Bites + Party Food Recipes
I’m a nibbler. My perfect meal would be one bite of 20 different things, a smorgasbord of yummy. So when I’m planning a party I put a lot of thought into the menu and really focus on what guests are going to enjoy. Mini bites are awesome party food because
- they look much better than just putting out a bowl or dish of something that looks messy after the first few people dip in
- they are grab-and-go so guests can nibble while they mingle without balancing a plate and feeling uncomfortable fork in hand
- easy clean up and less mess. No half eaten plates left cluttering tables and bars.
- less waste. It’s easy to plan for how much to serve when you do mini bites and appetizers. Generally stick to 2 to 3 per person and your covered.
- there are tons of creative ways to display mini bites that look clean and classy. Also its easy to work in a theme or embellish containers with labels or food picks
