Angels on horseback. There are different versions of these, but they always look impressive. Assuming you are wanting savoury?the cheese ball variations are always nice, served with an assortment of crackers, or the hollowed out bread with the hot cream cheese dip. Otherwise a nice platter of crudites and dips.
something easy and quick is mix up surumi and thousand island dressing and make up just like you would asparagus rolls, just dont make the mixture to wet, also if you add some shrimps and more dressing can m ake a great salad

this is a bit hard to explain, but the end result is very tasty
Cut a french stick into quarters or thirds Using a sharp knife carefully cut off thin layer of bottom crust Slice open but NOT right through Remove two 2/3rds of bread along the roll leaving the remaining third on top side. Smother insides with plenty cream cheese Add relish, ham slices, rocket lettuce, (any tasty filling of your choice really) Roll TIGHTLY in tinfoil and refridgerate overnight Unroll and cut bread on the diagonal into little tasty slices

I do the surimi roll thing as well, but use crab sticks, they are the same stuff, bread, lettuce leaf, mayo, crab stick, roll it up, the lettuce leaf stops the mayo getting on the bread so it doesn't go soggy.

Poster one said not "...not too expensive... and different..."I think I filled that brief well. :P
All are incredibly easy, mini meatballs, fish cakes, rice paper rolls, dumplings...very tasty little bites that cost sweet fanny all.

Yep, it's all there.Just make smaller ones for finger food and serve with a dipping sauce... I'm a fan of good ol' sweet chilli... if you don't have an ingredient, just subsitute for something similar... it's a pretty 'fluid' type basic recipe... works for prawns and crab too.

Fish cakes would get my vote as incredibly easy tasty and a little diffferent not incredibly cheap if you have to buy fish though the cheap fish make excellent fish cakes so you can use Kahawai hoki trevelly or red cod rather than snapper or blue cod.
another awesome finger food I do sometimes is mussel fritters cooked in small balls. My recipe copied from elsewhere is There is a trick to Mussel fritters, shell them live do not steam open its actually quite easy once you get the knack. Then cut each Mussel into 3 pieces and put in a bowl for each dozen good sized mussels add a finely chopped onion, a finely chopped tomato and a handful of chopped herbs like basil and corriander. I add crushed garlic and chilli but thats optional then add 2 or 3 tablespoons of flour an egg and a 1/4 tsp of baking powder. I sometimes add a pinch or two of curry powder too. Then stir well and fry in a mix of rice bran oil and butter. small ones for finger food or a nice big fritter for a meal.

Fruit platter never goes amiss either - seems to be the one plate people always take a piece from...

I just did the easiest thing ever for a birthday party and kids and adults LOVED It.
Cut up watermelon into varoius shapes and thread onto small skewers alternating with marshmallows.I used 3 chunks of watermelon and 2 marshmallows for each. It was really fun, looked fantastic, a bit healthy a bit decadent an d tasted fantastic. and they all were gone before anyone touched the rest of the party LOL. I got the small skewers from woollies for a couple of dollars.
