Don't do anything with filo, people just make a mess, lol.

For your sweet thing (depending on the season), why not just go all simple and do chocolate-covered strawberries! That'll go well with drinks and bubbles, and everyone likes them. And they're easy.

I make mini quiches;
Get some puffed pastry and cut circles out of it using a cup. Place each circle into a muffin tin and then add chopped herbs or whatever filling you want. Then cover the filling with an 2 eggs mix with a dash of cream. Spoon the egg mixture in and then bake at 220 for 5 to 10 minutes.

I can make hundreds of these in an hour. Literally hundreds :)

Daughters wedding 18 m ago was at an outside venue with drinks and nibbles before the reception and while the wedding party went away for photos. Bubbly and juice were passed around and the caterers had several tables set up under the trees with a hugeand I mean huge platter on each table with cold cuts like salami, chorizo,pastrami, ham off the bone in small pieces, smoked salmon, lots of different cheeses and pickles- baby gherkins, olives, tiny sweet pickled white onions, and several different dips with a selection of good breads and biscuits. Had lots of favourable comments about both the quality of the food and the fact people could just go and help themselves as they wished.

crostini with heaps of different toppings and those tiny wee bagels with fillings.

mouth watering

curried (stuffed) eggs but with mayo and smoked paprika instead of curry powder, or mayo and chives etc

nibbles for the guests .

Those yummy little cheese-stuffed pickled red mini peppers you can buy all ready to go in a jar. I've forgotten the proper name, but they are delicious. Just arrange them on some nice lettuce leaves.
The only thing you have to remember is to fish them out of the jar with a spoon - fingers introduce bugs that make them go "off".
Katalin's idea sounds good, too. You don't need your guests totally filling up - just taking the edge off their hunger.

Bite size sandwiches are always popular. Make usual club style sandwiches & cut them in half again - 6 pieces for each round of bread. Mini bruschetta, crostini, ham & egg savouries, sushi. Make omlette/pancake style rolls filled with cream cheese & roasted red pepper (or filling of choice), self crusting 'quiche' cut into bite size pieces. Just be aware of fillings that will hold safely without refrigeration.

Don't do anything with filo, people just make a mess, lol.
