Sliders are the crowd pleasers you didn’t know you needed on your wedding menu. Think chickpea patties served with chutneys and sauces. These mini food bites scream taste and class at the same time.
To make it even more fun, create a slider station where guests can pick their filling and buns. It’s interactive, memorable and totally Instagrammable.

South Indian food at a wedding? Always a yes. Mini idlis tossed in ghee and coated with spicy podi served on skewers: now that’s a wedding appetiser everyone will rush to grab. They’re light, flavourful and surprisingly addictive.
Pair them with mini cups or sambhar or coconut chutney for that authentic touch. They’re easy to serve and even easier to fall in love with.
Miniature Chaat Cones
Nothing says “Indian wedding” like a good chaat counter, but what if you made it portable and fancy? Mini chaat cones with papdi, sev, yoghurt and chutneys make the perfect grab-and-go snack. They look chic, are mess-free and burst with nostalgic street-food vibes.
You could even mix it up: think bhel puri cones, dahi puri bites or mini golgappa shots. Because honestly, can you ever go wrong with chaat?
Mini Burgers That Bring the Fun
Who said burgers can’t be wedding chic? Mini burgers are the perfect mix of comfort food and style; small enough to eat in a bite but packed with big, juicy flavour. Imagine tiny brioche buns filled with spicy chickpea patties, masala aloo tikkis or even butter chicken sliders. These mini food bites instantly add a playful vibe to your wedding appetiser spread.
Serve them with shot glasses of fries or mini paper cones of chips for that extra “aww” factor. They’re fun, filling and guaranteed to have your guests grinning (and grabbing seconds).
