what is the best way to eat hor'dourves? For e.g, a hor'dourve tray passes you by, do you help yourself to one or two? do you pick up the hor'dourve with a napkin? I'm going to this party and the menu basically consist of wine and hor'dourves. I need some help so I don't stand out as far as proper etiquette is concerned. Thanks everyone who responds.:)

One usually picks up the treats with their fingers, then places it on your napkin or tiny plate. Or, eat it on the spot immediately (and delicately as hor'dourves are meant to be savoured, not wolfed down), use a napkin to clean your fingers, (perhaps someone may want to shake your hand)then carry on chatting and do the same casually with the next offering.
Have fun.

When in doubt.... accept a fizzy drink and walk about making conversation first and see what others are doing and do whatever looks the best. Taking one at a time is good. Use of a napkin is good. There may be a table with small plates. Don't be a piggy and if there is something you really like compliment the host/hostess on that item and they will probably try to get you more! Have fun!

If your host doesn't provide tongs, or at least toothpicks, I think you can assume that it's okay to handle the hors d'oeuvres with your fingers.
And hopefully, he'll provide small plates, not just napkins.

Pick up one of each type and put on your napkin. Enjoy them leisurely.

undergo in recommendations for a trip spot wedding ceremony over 20% will decline- for my wedding ceremony which grew to become into 5 hours from the place I stay, we had 40% decline. So we've been waiting to ask many extra human beings than we ought to arise with the money for to feed ;) We invited just about 150 and had slightly below a hundred attend. Our catering grew to become into $50 a plate, plus open bar. If yuo have 70 on the concentrated visitor record and maximum stay out of state, you are able to assume below 50 to attend. Do the mathematics and hopefully meaning you are able to arise with the money for a whole buffet or plated dinner as a replace of apps. If anybody is vacationing and figuring out to purchase lodge, you rather might desire to grant an entire meal for them. Open bar is non-obligatory, you do no longer might desire to pass that course yet once you place on your invites 'reception right this moment following alongside with easy fare' then i do no longer think of quite some those out of towners will make the trip. you will possibly be able to desire to pare down your concentrated visitor record so which you will provide an entire meal for much less human beings, as antagonistic to much less foodstuff for extra human beings. The catering is the #a million way you coach know to your travelers.
