food brainstorming:

thanateKeeping in mind that this is a slightly-after-noon until 3 or 3:30 reception, so if anything, we're spoiling your dinner, not trying to feed you one. The "kitchen" facility on site consists of a galley-style counter & sink, so I'm not too keen on hot food options. I do not feel that they are necessary, anyhow.
trays of:
gooey cheese & crackers
assorted cheese blocks
[kosher] sausage bits
veggies & dip
fruit bits (& possibly dip?)
mixed nuts (some unsalted)
drinks:
tea
lemonade
Possibly coffee
sodas of some sort??
(alternately, I could say that there are enough functions where I've had to resort to water that if at my own wedding I only serve things *I* want to drink the rest of you can just deal with it. But this seems rude, and therefore unlikely.)
dessert of some kind; cake is traditional. Possibly cake of one flavor with cookies of another, in case people aren't fond of our chosen cake flavor?
Problems:
No onions (ok, this isn't much of a problem)
If we give the sausages their own tray, then vegetarians shouldn't have a problem
All soy must be avoidable (probably not an issue, either)
***There must be no fish or pig ingredients*** because apparently my cousin's fiance will have to go to the emergency room if she touches someone who has eaten either of these things in the last *two days.* Not touching people is her problem, but we're not about to serve her potentially-contaminated food.
We should get little cocktail swords for stabbing things!
