These are recipes you can have catered or make yourselves as we do here. My 13 Favorite Wedding Foods You Can Make Sensational are so delicious and the perfect wedding treats. Let’s get started and then save your favorites to Pinterest, so you can come back to it later.

2. Chicken Grape Pasta Salad

Now for my favorite pasta salad! This is something your friends can make and bring to the wedding venue in Ziploc bags. Just add it to a big silver or glass bowl and serve. But remember to send this recipe to the makers so they get it just right! You don’t want a mish mash of salads. Chicken and grape pasta salad recipe.

3. Warm Bagel Sandwich

More food! Usually it’s the guys that are into the sandwiches, so these are my go to choices. The bagel sandwich can be served warm or cold. I like using shaved ham with the bagels warmed and just a bit of fresh basil or dill for flavor. Costco may come in handy for mini bagels or even pretzel rolls that you can cut in half.

6. Saucy Asian Meatballs

Meatballs are super easy. Keep warm in a crock pot and serve out of a beautiful silver bowl. Or if you have ovens available to keep warm, you can serve on trays. Again Costco comes in handy for these. By the way, our dog Daisy doesn’t eat Ikea meatballs so we don’t either. Just saying. You definitely need to take a look at how to cook up these delicious Asian meatballs.

12. Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Here is another option of adding fruit in your wedding! Chocolate covered strawberries are perfect for someone to make. White chocolate is always very elegant for weddings. There is nothing quite like chocolate covered strawberries.

13. Mini Cheesecakes

I have made these before and they are always a hit! But just make sure your kids don’t eat them up when you’re not looking. Mini cheesecakes are something that I can’t stay away from and same with Daisy. She might of tried to snatch some of these up.

Don’t forget about the drinks! I have some options here. One of these my hubby make on a Summer day, I’d have to say it’s pretty good. If you like to keep it simple, just stick with Sprite and some peach syrup for and easy mix. Now that’s refreshing.
