** i'm posting this again to see if i can get more input**
I'm getting married Feb 14th, yup, Valentine's Day. It's just going to be a small ceremony of close family members and friends, about 25 - 30 people. I'm trying to get ideas for a luncehon menu to be served buffet style at my apartment. I already figured a deli tray would be reccomended, and i have a strawberry champagne punch recipe. but otherwise, i have no idea as for salads? soups? otherwise. I have one friend who is vegan, so i want to make sure something is available for her, but also something that other people won't frown their noses upon. i have little desserts planned...chocolate tuxedo strawberries, chocolate oreo truffles, and of course wedding cake, so i'm good on that. but i would greatly appreciate some help. Remember, it's Valentine's Day...and yes my wedding day...so be creative!!! thanks in advance!!

beef burgundy (look for beef burgundy 2 recipe on allrecipes.com)
serve that over small noodles or white rice
red wine, a burdundy one to go with the beef
red velvet cake
cake balls- like chocolate bon bons but they have cake in the middle (1 box chocolate cake mix + 1 box chocolate frosting, cook cake, mix the cake and frosting in a bowl, form into bowls, freeze, dip in white chocolate)
cheese platter
chicken cordon bleu
green beans with almonds
salad with walnuts, vinagrette, greens, cherry tomatoes, blue cheese crumbles
think french- french is the language of love.... appropriate with the valentine's day theme

A simple idea which would fit your theme are fresh, sliced strawberries marinated with a bit of sugar, then drizzled with a good balsalmic vinegar, topped with fresh mint leaves. It's classic, easy, romantic and is absolutely delicious for any course. Yum.

If you are trying to do this yourself your best bet would be ready made finger food kept in your freezer so you can whip it out and heat it up in a pinch. Do you have a Costco near you? They have the BEST selection of party items. Last gathering I went to had marinated tender turkey breast sliced 1/4inch thick on a tray with cheese squares of yellow and white on a bed of greens. Pretty.

Italian wedding soup is my all time favorite!! You could also do a mini salad bar with grilled chicken and salmon as a couple of toppings. That way everyone can fix theirs just they way they like it. Don't forget a good assortment of homemade rolls and breads to go with......

Use heart shaped cookie cutters to make finger sandwiches then sprinkle them with just a little bit of paprika. Makes an easy finger food and will look pretty too.

You could have napkins with hearts on them.You could have utensil's be pink and red.
You should have a big heart cake! Candy hearts would be an idea.
