Wow, I have this exact thing planned!! Who are you and why are you copying my ideas?? I am serving Lebanese appetizers ("heavy apps") and DIY cocktails (I'll have a few mixers out and a few juices).

Other good self serve dinner options, without knowing where you are:

Surfside does catering you can pick up

Salumeria in Brookland does sandwich platters

Know your audience but chick fila will sell you like 100 nuggets on a platter, can mix and match with healthier/fancier options.

Pizza

You have to have dinner but it can be small bites and self serve.

A wrap platter from Whole Foods or something and then veggies, fruit, cheese etc.

I'm starving by 6 pm, so make sure the guests know what to expect, a meal or finger foods/appetizers so they can plan accordingly.

Caesar salad, grilled chicken, pasta salad, charcuterie or mezze

Agree that 6pm means there should be dinner.

Caprese. Bread. Dip. Cheese. Fruit. Chips and salsa. Salad.

It wouldn’t be hard to put out pasta salad or pasta with red sauce.

6:00 means enough food for dinner. I like the Mediterranean idea.

I would order a catering selection from Uncle Julios.

I would not be thrilled to be invited to someone’s house at 6pm and they don’t serve dinner. Please make sure your invitees know this!

I’d serve a huge cheese and charcuterie board, but I love the Med tapas idea more.

In the summer for women in their 40s, I would cater heavy hors d’oeuvres from a Mediterranean restaurant.

Low sugar and lots of minimally processed food. Prosecco + a signature drink with minimal sugar.

Maybe an indulgent dessert that comes in bite sizes. But it’s a know your audience thing.

I’d make a fancy charcuterie board. Or, a deconstructed one. That’s what we do for book group. Don’t overthink it.

Hosting about 12 women all early 40s for a game night together starting at 6 pm. I don’t want to do a full dinner spread, but want to make sure I have enough food. Help!
