Appetizer Selection

When planning a large meal, plus plenty of desserts, that will be ready to serve within an hour upon the arrival of guests, a fancy display of appetizers is not needed. Sit down appetizers, or fancy made hors-d'oeuvres are not needed, and are really just time-consuming and extra work. However, a few munchies are always nice to have, and of course drinks should always be available. Here is the appetizer selection we featured at the party. They are not made dishes, but boughten items prepared and put out for guests to munch on. Because most of these foods are also able to stand at room temperature, they can be left out during the meal, for dessert, and afterwards as well. 
Here we have fresh fruit; red grapes, green grapes, and strawberries. We have chips, nacho chips, crackers, and salsa. We also have some mini chocolates  Not a typical appetizer, but this was actually the only appetizer we ran out of (maybe not until dessert time, but still). This display was also joined by a vegetable tray with dip, and some mini quiches later on, both of which were brought by guests.
