Serving Suggestions for Party Sandwiches

  • Get fancy with platters: Put your cute sandwiches on platters for a stylish look. Mix and match platters for a cool vibe.
  • Label your sandwiches: Label them so your guests know what’s what. Use small chalkboards, flags on toothpicks, or just a piece of paper with sandwich names.
  • Keep ’em fresh: Wrap sandwiches with a damp paper towel and plastic wrap in the fridge. Unwrap when it’s time to serve.
  • Pair with sides: Mini sandwiches are great on their own, but especially awesome with simple sides like chips, veggies, or a fruit salad.
  • Consider dietary restrictions:  Think about your friends’ diets. Make veggie or gluten-free options and label allergens.
