Snacks for a poker party?

Hosting 24 people. Need snacks that will: fit on small plates, don't require utensils, don't drip, can sit out for a while at room temp, and are easy on the hostess to prepare in advance. This is also a going away party for a chef, so no pressure there, right? Hahaha!

HELP - dinner for 75 in Rhinebeck in June

Hi - we are hosting an event for 75 people in the Rhinebeck area on June 13th. Ideally within walking distance from downtown Rhinebeck/Beekman Arms area.

If anyone knows of a nice place that accomodate a group this size, please let me know. If not in downtown Rhinebeck, then maybe within a 10 minute drive.

Thanks!

Cocktail party snack suggestions?

I'm throwing my first, real, actual cocktail party for the holidays and I'd like to impress the friends and fam with some interesting hors d'oeuvres. My co-hostess was raised on Lil' Smokies and Velveeta, so I'm pretty much on my own. I'm looking for simple ideas and recipes that aren't too expensive, but involve more thought than opening a box of Ritz!

Any suggestions on what to serve, and party-hosting in general? Also, tips on keeping cold things cold and hot things hot? Thanks!
