DDs 18th is on 6th Nov, I am going to do most of the food myself so i need some ideas for easy finger food which isn't messy (apparently teenagers who are drinking can't have messy food according to DD- she's prob right LOL) I like things with bread as that'll soak up the alcohol too!!!
One thing I would definitely recommend against is anything with rubbish, so wrapped things, mini kebabs, mini chicken wings with bones etc, because they end up on the ground, on tables etc & you'll be picking them up for weeks especially if they are outside.
Things they can pick up & dip in sauces are good - chicken chips, wedges with sour cream & sweet chilli sauce, spring rolls, mini frankfurts, meatballs, battered prawns. Other good things are samosas (mini curry puffs), ****tail quiche, party pies & sausage rolls, pastizzis, mini dim sims, vol au vents.
Depending on the crowd antipasto can go down well, it's usually more popular with girls though.
Then of course the usual, cheese, jatz, dips, chips etc
Yep, mini quiches are great for soaking up alcohol LOL! And easy to make too, all different varieties. Depending on what sort of 'do' it is, sandwiches always go down well (and have that bread component you're after!). Otherwise little mini burgers are good - a small patty with a little cheese melted on top, sandwiched between two slices of baguette with some yummy relish/chutney and some baby spinach leaves. These have gone down an absolute treat whenever I have made them for anything!
Are you wanting to make most of the stuff, buy it, or both???
you can make really nice pizza things with pita bread and pesto, a few pieces of boconchini just cut the pita into long triangle and bake in the oven, really tasty
maybe some vegie sticks etc for the girls...many 18 year olds in my day (lol) wouldnt have been seen eating party pies and sausage rolls at parties in great volumes.
