After all, you want your guests to be impressed! There is no need for appetizers at every cocktail party. It?s more of an appetizer buffet with hors d'oeuvres that are appetizers for the appetizer type. 

In this blog post, I will discuss my top 5 favorite appetizer ideas for anyone who is looking for inspiration in their kitchen.

1. A few great appetizers that can be made ahead of time are crackers and cheese, hummus, olives, and fruit

If you're hosting a party, and want to get the appetizers out of the way before everyone gets there but don't have much time in advance, make crackers and cheese or hummus. Olives with toothpicks are perfect for people who like salty foods. For sweeter snacks try fruit: cut-up pieces will last longer than whole fruits since they won?t be crushed by hands reaching over them!

2. Find out what your guests like so you know what to have on hand

Do you have any idea what your guests may want to eat? Ever take the time to ask them before they arrive so that when they show up, everything is ready and waiting for them. Asking upfront allows us plenty of time in advance to ensure we are fully stocked with their favorites or at least a close approximation!

3. Make sure you have plenty of space in the fridge for all the food

Always make sure to have plenty of space in the fridge for all your food. You never know when people are going to show up, and you want there to be room for their dishes too! The first thing people notice about someone's home is how clean it looks on the outside. The exterior should always look well-maintained because this tells others that they can expect a great experience inside as well. People will take note of little details like weeds growing out from between cracks or broken tiles by doorways; these things may seem insignificant but if not fixed quickly could lead potential buyers away instead of toward an open house. Small improvements such as landscaping around walkways with flowers already blooming in planters give off just enough charm without being overwhelming.

4. Plan ahead by making a list of everything you need to buy at the store before going shopping 

It's always a good idea to make lists of what you need before going shopping. It makes the process much more efficient and reduces your chances of forgetting something important!

Making up a grocery list is an easy way to ensure that you don't forget anything while at the store, but it also helps in other ways too like being able to better know how much money should be brought with you or keeping track of food expiration dates which can help reduce wastefulness when shopping.

5. Look up recipes online or find a cookbook with some easy ideas for appetizers 

You might be hard-pressed to find a cookbook with appetizers that are not only easy but also low in calories! Maybe this is because the definition of ?appetizer? has changed over time. A hundred years ago an "appetizer" was typically served before dinner as a light meal and usually consisted of some kind of fried food or cheese platter; today it's more commonly used for hors d'oeuvres at cocktail parties and social gatherings where people mingle after work hours.
