Everything is better when it’s smaller; cute little babies, puppies, and of course your credit card bill! But when you think of food, bigger is better, right?! Engorge! Stuff your face!

Uh, wrong!

Mini foods are completely stylish, and are a huge (mini?) trend at weddings right now. So although you might be going to the reception thinking “Oh yeah! Free food!” and then get disappointed because you expected to load up at the carving station, just put down your (pitch) fork for a moment, because small foods are better than they sound!

These foods may just be bite-size but they are sure to pack a punch with your taste buds when it comes to their delectable flavors. Brides and grooms aren’t just shrinking their portions to save a few bucks; instead they are giving you new and exciting options to pick from instead of potentially icky wedding foods. Plus if you’re lucky, you can go back a couple of times and load up on a few of these yummy snacks.

So take a gander at what could be in store for you at your next wedding. You won’t be disappointed, we promise!

Mini sandwiches, beer, and sliders; this is a perfect late night wedding feast! We just can’t get over how cute the mini beer glasses are, and the food just looks so tasty.

Hotdogs that you can eat in one or two bites! Perfect! Now you aren’t going to make a mess of your wedding attire but can still enjoy this classic favorite.

Lots of plentiful salad options here!

Tomato soup with a grilled cheese for dunkin’! What a happy cocktail hour combination!

I’m really excited about this one; hot chocolate with a donut! And are those marshmallows in the glass? You can’t get much better than that!

Chocolate chip cookies and a shot of milk for dessert hour. This is great for kids, or adults who might have Peter Pan syndrome, or just anyone who loves this classic!

Mini chocolate parfaits. But there are so many other yummy options for desserts in a shot glass that you wouldn’t want to down them in one gulp!

There are many other delicious options available to miniaturize out there as well, including pancakes, quiches, pizzas, pies, and much more. Just use your imagination, or take a list of your favorite foods and make them bite-sized.
