Congratulations, hope it is a memorable day. One piece of advice which someone gave to me was to stop often and observe the day because it goes in such a blur and by stopping and observing what is going on around you makes for some wonderful memories. As for food, we do have a parties,weddings and gatherings thread here somewhere with a great selection of hot and cold canapes as well as meals for crowds.

What about making a large roasting dish bacon and egg pie (with onions/tomatoes/spring onions/grated cheese etc), let it go cold, refridgerate for easy cutting, then cut into small square bite sizes the same size a small cracker ... that should be cheap, tasty and stretch out a bit?What I always love nuts of any description too - bowls of them placed around the place, and fresh vegetable stix served with different dips.Mini meatballs and dipping sauces? I really hope you have a fantastic day but more importantly a long and loving marriage (with heaps of blessings and kids!)

how long before main meal???do you really need to stress yourself with bites before.Daughter got married 2 weekends ago, we prepared carrot, cellery cauli and dips, chips, cheeses, and grapes and they forgot to put them out - nobody noticed- except me the following day when had to make stir fry to use the veges.Even I hadnt noticed on the night.

Just bumped post #26 up for you to peruse.
Most ham on the bones in stores now are usually cooked, the idea of glazing a ham plus use of oven again is to add a nice hotness or warmth in the ham plus an additional taste of a nice finishing sauce in this case known as a glaze plus presentation, basically how one sees it anyway, others may think otherwise.

You noted something simple and easy before a meal.... would one be having drinks and if so then look at cheeses, crackers with dips and some nice vege nibbles like celery, carrot, even grapes and-or pineapple with toothpicks availableetc.... a nice cheeselog goes well or as someone noted above, platters or above on platters.
Wouldn't overdo it though as one does not want to take away from the main or "breakfast or reception" as the norm. All the best.

We went to a wedding this weekend! yes it was bucketing down the whole day :-0( ..the pre dinner pass arounds were quite substantial little club sandwiches cut into about 1in square, sausage rolls that were cut into small bites rather than large normal size, chicken meatballs with sate sauce, filo pastry with spinach and feta there were lots more and it just kept coming until the wedding party arrived, then the meal was light bread roll with tapanade, main was steak or salmon and desert was just the cake with little lemon cakes and a huge bowl of strawberries and cream and a cheeseboard..it was all beautiful...I hope you have a fantastic day and the sun shines for you but if it doesnt you will still enjoy your day, the weather is the only thing you cant plan.

you dont 'cook' it again but glazing it gives it beautiful flavour, you would only glaze for around 1 hour so the ham is slightly warm and moist. How many people are you catering for and if people ask if they can help let them.

Hi Nainmary - Auto Sushi machines... was too lazy to look in cupboard at the time.
Anyway it's called a Sushezi perfect sushi - made easy.
the easy way to make professional sushi in your home. perfectly formed - no guess work - no trial and error. easy to follow instructions.
I got mine at Moore Wilsons in Wellington for about $30.I have seen them at Millies and Stevens for about $50.
My nephew make lollie cake in theirs -so a jack of all trade.
