Nothing builds an appetite like a wedding ceremony, and your cocktail-hour treats are the opening notes in your symphony of food, taking the worst edge off hunger while hinting at the top-notch feast to come. Each of you can choose an all-time favorite snack to include, and the menu can evolve from there. Consider the theme and style of your celebration, and what local foods will be in season. Don’t be afraid to get creative—cocktail-hour snacks can be just about anything that can be served in bite-sized portions.
