When it comes to organizing celebrations, guests tend to separate into a pair of rather distinct camps: people that love the process, and the ones that would choose to do almost anything else. Being prepared ahead of time is essential, and selecting a few scrumptious creations to kick off the proceedings will amuse your attendees while you try to keep the show on the road.

These citrusy, spiced snacks are a perfect match for the bright pink grapefruit mocktails listed below.
Savory Blinis Topped with Salmon and Ricotta
A delicious festive appetizer that can easily be modified to serve with a different spread for younger guests.
