Hellobee Boards

@honeybear: We do app/game nights with friends frequently. A crowd fave is bree, crackers with a red pepper jelly... sooooo good! But, probably not the best for kids so I would keep that at the adult table.
We also have;
Shrimp tray, kielbasa, chips, veggies, fruit, usually some kind of cookie/brownie, tositios and layered dip (sour cream, salsa, cream cheese, can add guac- yum!).
We also have a hot app or two as well; jalapeno poppers, mozza sticks, bacon wrapped scallops, meatballs.
There's lots of great snacks at M&M's if you have one nearby.

My BIL always makes bacon-wrapped pineapple for parties and it gets devoured. Meatballs are easy (I do mini ones in the crockpot with ketchup and ginger ale) but can be messy. A favorite at our parties is asparagus rolls (cut crust off of bread, flatten with a rolling pin, spread cheez wiz, roll up a spear of asparagus, dip in butter, dip in parmesan cheese, bake).

I second bacon wrapped dates. I stuff them with a little goat cheese and bake them in the oven. So good.

@honeybear: Yeah, it's not the healthiest, but it's really good. We had a "fancy" version at our wedding because it's such an "us" food. Our caterer made it with phyllo dough and like an asiago cream cheese kind of spread rather than cheez wiz. Also delicious.

Grilled kielbasa and honey dijon mustard. Marcona almonds. Or peppered salami with aged cheddar cheese and crackers.

ETA: You all are making me hungry!
