Depends on the type of reception you are having, and what kind of a budget you have to work with...here's a few favorites that are used: fruit trays with dips
vegetable trays with dips
relish trays
fingersandwiches ( chicken salad, ham salad, turkey salad
roast beef, ham & cheese, egg salad)
little sausages in bar-b-que sauce
meatballs in sauce (Prego or another favorite can
spaghetti sauce)
buffalo wings and dips
chicken strips or nuggets with sauces
cheese balls with crackers
cheese trays with crackers
pasta salads
Take it from experience, do foods that you can prepare ahead and place in the refrigator. Or that you can throw into the crock pot. The little cocktails sausages and meatballs can both done in crock pots. The vegetables can be bought ready made or done the day before can put in the refrigator. The sandwichs can be made the day before, but make sure you dampen a paper towel and place on top, and seal them up tight. Hope you have a big frig. or axcess to one. Sweetie, you can serve what you want, if you or the groom have sometime favorite you like then included that. Weddings are getting way out of hand. I remember when I first started doing weddings....cake, punch, mints and nuts....that's it. Now, they are full course meals, not to say that is wrong, but sometimes it's just not neccessary. I did a full dinner for my own daughter's because the quests had to travel on the average of 4 hours to the wedding. So, I felt like I should at least give them a nice dinner before heading home. We did a buffet, and everyone seemed to enjoy the bride and grooms choice of having bar-b-que and Popeye's fried chicken.
Yes, Popeye's, it was their idea. So, don't worry so much, what you serve pick out a few things that sounds nice and easy done, especially if you are going to do the work! Have a wonderful wedding, and God bless you....

well, there are quite a few options all depending on your budget and the size of the wedding. Some fan favorites are chicken fingers with several dipping sauces as well as fruit & cheese plates. You could set out a basket of sandwich rolls/breads and a platter of meats for guests to make sandwiches and things like that. Check out the Food Network and see what they offer as well - I get tons of ideas from there.

Cheese is my favorite. It's not that expensive and can last a long time. At my reception we had a lot of small, expensive things and we ran out of food halfway through! It was not our fault, as the owner of the venue promised we'd have enough. I'd just go with several staples (cheese and crackers, etc) in addition to some fancy expensive things if you want them, because you don't want your guests to go home hungry.

Depends. You could go cheap and do raw veggie trays, wrap sandwiches, mcnugget things, and stuff like that. Not very elegant. Or, you could do high end appetizers that are incredibly elegant. Things like an artisan cheese plate with an herbed flat bread. Grilled or roasted vegetables with a garlic aioli. Caramelized onion puff pastries. Mushrooms stuffed with herbed goat cheese, etc.

Hot/cold orderves are great (wrapped shimp, puffed balls, chicken fingers, cheese and crackers) and tea-sandwiches are great too. There are specialty type breads for a variety of small tea-like sandwiches.
