What's the current trend in cocktail hour goodies? Everything mini! Why stick to the traditional assortment of cheese and vegetables when you can serve guests a snack that they'll never forget? Recreating your own favorite foods, at a third of their normal size, can be a fun way to make your special day a little more personal and a lot more unique.

The first meal that you ever ate together? A special treat that you always make on your partner's birthday? Why not miniaturize it and serve it to all your guests! Including a little note or story about how these treats are ultra special to you as a couple can make your guests feel more connected, and maybe even learn something new about you!

Another great way to use mini food to create a fun and unique event is to create a mini dessert table. Instead of serving a single type of dessert to everyone, let your guests pick and choose from a variety of mini treats after the meal. A dessert table covered in a selection of mini tarts and pies or a variety of mini cakes and other delectable treats can be a fun and tasty way to give your guests more choice at your reception.

With guests partying until the wee hours of the morning, why not serve them a delicious mini treat to keep their energy going? Tasty little snacks like miniature pancakes or grilled cheese sandwiches can be a great way to end  an amazing night. Guests will be sure to talk about their late-night mini snack for years to come.
