If you're planning to do all the food preparation yourself, you will want to keep it simple. Here are some ideas for food to serve at home:

Easy Canapes
You can make your own pretty easily these days, with a little imagination. We suggest getting a selection of belinis, croustades, mini rice crackers, and even Ritz crackers (anything small and round and savoury that can be filled or hold a topping!), then get creative! Here are a few ideas for toppings:

*Cream cheese & smoked salmon
*Cream cheese & chopped chives
*Humous & olive
*Humous & chopped sun-dried tomatoes
*Guacamole & bacon bits
*Taramasalata

Things on a stick!
Cheese & pineapple on a stick is so passè, it's probably back in fashion, but here are some alternative 'on a stick' ideas:

*Feta cheese & olive
*Feta cheese & cherry tomato
*Mozarella & cherry tomato
*Two stuffed olives on a stick (you can buy these ready-made such as pimento-stuffed olives, or feta-stuffed olives)
*Bite-size diced marinated chicken pieces (Chinese, Indian, Mexican style!)
*Chunk of roasted red pepper wrapped in parma ham
*Pigs in blankets (little sausage wrapped in bacon)
