A big bowl of cherries on ice (aren't they in season now?), pineapple, grapes, etc. Virgin Bloody Marys. Some mini smoked salmon biscuits or mini cucumber-dill muffins. I like the deviled egg idea. I'd keep the snacks savory except for fruit so people don't ruin their appetites for lunch.

I think that menu is great. Keep it simple especially since the MOB is doing the lunch, it's not a big window of time and chances are they'll have had a little something anyway.

Salmon is also a good idea, easy to manage. Get a pack of smoked salmon and on the tray, slice it short ways in 1 inch wide strips. Put a dob cream cheese on a thin cracker and curl a piece of salmon around your finger tip, then stand up on top of the cheese. Takes about 5 minutes to make a lot of easy to eat mid morning snacks.

Sounds like fun, so enjoy!

(I'm serious about the booze, lol)

I find cream cheese too heavy so I make mine with yogurt cheese (drain plain yogurt until it has the consistency of cream cheese, add salt and sugar to taste) served with cucumber slices, maybe some very thin flatbread. I'm concerned with ruined appetites. I know people think that even if they ruin an appetite, another one is lined up right behind, but if you've taken the trouble of preparing a meal and guests have gone and ruined their appetites with horse derves, it's hard not to resent them a little.

A booze option should be available, because sometimes a light anesthetic is a good idea when you have to be around people all day.

Siriachi flavored potato chips

maybe some sausage paddies although links might be easier.

They are easy and can be made the day before. If you have leftovers, they freeze well. Everybody loves them and they are easy pickup food.

And cut the bagels into halves, then quarters. With so much food, some folks might not want to commit to a whole bagel.

My son-in-law's aunt served them at the morning-after breakfast, along with fruit, cheese, bacon, fresh orange juice, coffee, tea, a tray of raw vegetables and spinach dip, etc.

OMGosh, I just love fruit pizza. http://www.pillsbury.com/recipes/easy-fruit-pizza/a765c571-37d5-4916-8747-e944a923c83b and good luck.

That is my kind of breakfast!!

Banana bread, Zucchini bread, Pumpkin bread. And then make some whipped butter w/ honey or maple syrup to go with them.

Here's what I ended up with:

Sausage Balls
Deviled Eggs
Fresh Fruit
Cheese Cubes

Mini Quiches
Mini Muffins
Mini Cream Cheese Danish


Got these last three at GFS...I've had them before, and they are quite tasty.

Flavored coffees and teas, and the ever important orange juice. I told the bride to bring some sparkling white wine and peach schnapps if desired...to insure that there are no Vitamin C deficiencies.

Also, she will need to maintain a constant buzz to marry into my crazy family.

Thanks again!
