A raw veggie platter is also a good idea. Small dishes of butter, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt can be great additions to your appetizer table.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fresh herbs for garnish. <\/strong>Add extra festive flair to your table with fresh herbs and foliage! <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Storage. <\/strong>Anything that can be kept at room temperature or warm (like in a crockpot) can be brought out first.
