Wedding season is a special time for any couple. Between bridal showers and bachelor or bachelorette parties, no one should want for festive events during this special window of time. But before anyone can walk down the aisle, the soon-to-be newlyweds have lots of decisions to make, from colors of dresses to flowers on the table. There’s also the wedding cake and reception menu, too. Some of these chores are easier (and tastier) than others. So before you worry about what to serve your hungry guests, we’ve compiled our best finger foods for a wedding reception. Choose one, choose some, or choose ambition and choose them all. No matter how you choose to wedding, there are no wrong answers with these wedding finger foods.
