It’s already time to start thinking about our next generation of characters, and we’re gonna go with… hors d’oeurves!
I love cocktail hour so much more than the actual dinner at weddings, so hors d’oeuvres hold a special place in my little bee heart.
We’ve come up with a list of 17, but we need your help narrowing them down! Please consider the following criteria when nominating your 10 favorites: a lot of people will want to be that icon and it will look good as an illustration. Feel free to make suggestions for hors d’oeurves you think we should include as well!
1. crudite

2. pig in a blanket

3. egg roll…

4. …or spring roll

5. satay

6. shrimp cocktail

7. bruschetta

8. sushi (which kind?)

9. oyster
10. crab cake

11. cheese

12. dumpling

13. meatball

14. quesadilla

15. spanakopita

16. deviled egg

17. quiche

haha~ I went straight for the food before actually reading the post. My top ten:
egg roll, pigs in a blanket, satay, shrimp cocktail, bruschetta, crab cake, meatball, dumpling, deviled egg, and oyster
i think miss cheese is my favorite…or miss meatball! so cute!!!!!!! i think that miss eggroll, shrimp cocktail, bruschetta, sushi, crab cake, dumpling, and quiche would all be cute, too.
I’m not so sure anyone will be clamoring to be Miss Pig In a Blanket. haha. I think Miss Quiche sounds cute though.
All this appetizer talk is making me hungry!
My ten favorites are: dumpling, cheese, spanakopita, bruschetta, pig in a blanket, spring roll, crab cake, shrimp cocktail, quiche, and quesadilla!
While I love pigs in a blanket (the food), I think MissCamera’s right in saying no one’s going to want to be known as Miss. Pig in a Blanket! I love quiche, and crab cake, quesadilla, and satay best!
If you’re going w/ sushi, Miss California Roll could be cute, since there are so many CA brides.
I’m a little disappointed there’s no Miss Cocktail Weenie ![]()
QUICHE, CRABCAKE, CHEESE, QUESADILLA, MEATBALL, DUMPLING, SHRIMP COCKTAIL, EGGROLL, SUSHI, AND BRUSCHETTA ALL SOUND SCRUMPTIOUS! YUMMO!!!! (I hope that I can someday soon “bee” one!)

Ooo, fun!
10) Spring Roll
9) Spanakopita
Dumpling
7) Quesadilla
6) Quiche
5) Brie (why leave it just at cheese?)
4) Canape (sorry, new idea!)
3) Crudite
2) Bruschetta
1) Antipasto
Mmm…. sounds delicious!
Top ten:

2. Miss Sushi Roll (perhaps it can be generic looking roll, and the perhaps bee will pick what they’d like to be?)
3. Miss Crabcake (a Maryland Bee perhaps?)
4. Miss Meatball
5. Miss Spring Roll/Egg Roll
6. Miss Oyster
7. Miss Quiche
8. Miss Bruchetta

7. Miss Cheese
8. Miss Quiche
9. Miss Fondue

2. Dumpling
3. Sushi
4. Egg Roll
5. Shrimp Cocktail

I’m glad I’m eating my favorite cheese right now or else I would be drooling all over my keyboard! I think that if cheese is chosen as an option, the bee should get to choose the kind of cheese she wants to be. I would be Miss Parranno! Yum!
My favorite are: Pig in a Blanket (my personal favorite), Spring Roll, Bruschetta, Crab Cake, Dumpling, Quiche, Deviled Egg, Spanikopita, Sushi, Cheese
My favorite would definitely be Miss Spring Roll, because I love my mom’s fresh spring rolls so much!!
These are great:
Miss Crabcake
Miss Satay
Miss Meatball
Miss Dumpling
Miss Eggroll
Miss Bruschetta
Miss Wonton
Miss Canape
I would love to bee either:
Miss Mozzarella
Miss Calamari
Miss Mango Salad (lol, it sounded cute)
Miss Caprese (My favorite insalata)
I’m also loving…. Slider (a really popular menu item these days)
Well, if this was my own personal blog, I would start with Miss 1 Year Aged Cheddar, then move on to Miss Comte, Miss Manchego, and Miss Tomme de Savoie. But it’s not… =(
But I think Miss Pig In a Blanket (PIAB?) is cool! I bet the icon would be super cute.
in order or preference:
meatball
dumpling
egg roll
sushi
quiche
crab cake
quesadilla
deviled egg
bruschetta
shrimp cocktail
i like the idea of cheese, but it needs to be a bit more specific…perhaps one (or all!) of the following:
miss swiss (lol, makes me think of hot chocolate)
miss brie
miss mozzarella
miss cheddar
What? No Miss Mashed Potato Bar?
Cute idea! I would be Miss Pig In The Blanket, but I don’t think you let people planning vow renewals blog…even though you should, because I am super cool and very fun.
Miss Crabcake
Miss Satay (YUM)
Miss Spring Roll
Miss Shrimp Cocktail
Miss Quiche
Miss Bruschetta
Miss Wonton
Miss Sushi (I like the idea of the Bee being able to pick her own)
I just got SO HUNGRY~! I love all of these, and totally agree Miss Cheese should decide on her name. My favorite is Muenster, but Miss Muenster isn’t exactly the most flattering name! Miss Meatball would be so cute for an Italian bride!
Okay so here I go my
#1 (14)
#2- pig in blanket
#3 Egg Roll
#6 Shrimp Cocktail
#7 bruschetta
#8 California Roll (in the words of Rachael Ray “yumm-o”)
#10 Crab Cake
#12 Dumpling
#17 Quiche
#13 Meatball
Cute! I just thought of some new ones… Miss Tea Sandwich, Miss Stuffed Mushroom (or Mushroom Cap), Miss Mozzarella Stick, Miss Crab Rangoon.
Yum!
Miss Spicy Tuna Roll
Miss Spring Roll
Miss Shrimp Cocktail
Miss Bruschetta
Miss Crab Cake
Miss Dumpling
Miss Quesadilla
Miss Deviled Egg
Miss Quiche
Miss Meatball
Although Pigs in a Blanket are one of my favorite foods, I’m thinking no bride wants to be associated with a pig that close to her wedding! LOL!
Good choices though!
Miss Maki Roll
Miss Quiche
Miss Meatball
Miss Crab Cake
Miss Deviled Egg
Miss Bruschetta
Miss Shrimp Cocktail
Miss Egg Roll
Miss Pig in a Blanket
Miss Hummus
Miss Bacon Wrapped Scallop (hmm, I guess that’s too long)
I liked all of them except cheese - I wouldn’t burn that bridge b/c you could do a generation of cheese sometime too - Miss Blue Cheese, Miss Cream Cheese etc.
As for the others -
Miss Crudite
Miss Sushi
Miss Bruschetta
Miss Carpaccio
Miss Osyster
Miss Deviled Egg
Miss Shrimp Cocktail
Miss Fondue
Miss Hot Wing (Buffalo Wing)
Miss Mushroom Cap
Miss Crabcake
Miss Tea Sandwich
i like spring roll, bruschetta, spanakopita, and quiche.
i don’t think i’d much like being called “deviled egg”, “cheese”, or “crab cake”… haha, but maybe that’s just me. ![]()
I guess I’m having trouble finding what is behind the tradition of assigning groups of names to different classes of Bees.
But if I were a Bee, Miss Hot Wing would get the nod, or Miss California Roll. Dumpling and meatball are cute in their own rights, and Wonton works. Oh and I love Ceasar Salad, but don’t know if that’s truly considered an appetizer.
Otherwise, it is kind of hard for me to get excited about appetizers. I always tend to skip them and wait for the meal!

My favorites, in no particular order:
1. Miss Spring Roll
2. Miss Satay
3. Miss Scrimp Cocktail
4. Miss Sashimi or Miss California Roll (I think Sushi could be a whole generation of bees!)
5. Miss Fromage
6. Miss Spanakopita
7. Miss Mini Quiche
8. Miss Dumpling or Miss Wonton
9. Miss Bruchetta
10. Miss Deviled Eggs
I can only hope that if I am approved to be a bee some day in the near future, that Miss Quiche will still be available. We have happy hours at work fairly often, and my first request to our catering coordinator is “WHERE ARE THE BABY QUICHE?!”
I would also suggest Miss Slider
1) Miss Crab Cake (soo cute ! )
2) Miss Spring Roll
3) Miss Dumpling (I agree with Cookie, Wonton would be cute!)
4) Miss Satay
5) Miss Cheese: But maybe a TYPE of cheese, (I think Brie was suggested) since Miss cheese lacks a certain “ring”
6) Miss quiche
7) Mushroom cap
LOVE the slider idea (could be a super cute Icon)
9) Miss Sushi
10) Miss Meatball
instead of Miss Cheese it could be Miss Fromage (or however you spell cheese in French…)
1. Miss Quesadilla: SO CUTE!
2. Miss Sushi: I think just Miss Sushi is cute.
3. Miss Crab Cake
4. Miss Spring Roll
5. Miss Scrimp Cocktail
6. Miss Bruschetta
7. Miss Satay
8. Miss Deviled Egg
9. Miss Quiche
10. Miss Oyster
Oooh I LOVE the idea of Miss Slider! I LURVE sliders!

This is making me hungry - and I love all the ideas you have!
My top ten are:
1. pig in a blanket
2. egg roll or spring roll
3. bruschetta
4. sushi
5. cheese
6. dumpling
7. meatball
8. quesadilla
9. spanakopita
10. quiche
But I like the idea others have come up with for an entire class of cheeses - Miss Parmesan! Miss Brie! Miss Havarti! The possibilities are endless! - and a class of sushis - Miss California Roll, Miss Tempura, Miss Miso Soup.
I’ll sign up to be miss pig in a blanket today! That’s just so rediculous! so cute and tasty! — NOT just for curvy ladies! ![]()

So Fun! I love this idea!
Top 10:
1. Miss Cheese (of choice)
2. Miss Bruschetta
3. Miss Eggroll
4. Miss Crabcake
5. Miss Meatball
6. Miss Dumpling
7. Miss Satay
8. Miss Sushi
9. Miss Pig in a Blanket (b/c I think the icon would be so cute!)
10. Miss Calamari ![]()

oh! And a Miss Artichoke? Because I love grilled artichoke! And Miss Cornbread?! Geeze- can you tell I love appetizers?
I like the cheese idea, but I think it could be branched out (slash if this comes up again in the future it leaves you some room)! I agree that Miss Brie is great. How about Miss Mozzarella?
My top 10:
1) Miss Quiche
2) Miss Eggroll/Spring roll
3) Miss Sushi
4) Miss Satay
5) Miss Crabcake
6) Miss Wonton
7) Miss Shrimp Cocktail
Miss Deviled Egg
9) Miss Fondue/various cheese
10) Miss Dumpling (I hate to vote for it, as it would be my absolute first choice of any category if I ever became a Bee!)
i honestly think any of these sound good for character names ![]()
This post made me hungry…
I LOVE Miss Dumpling though. SUPER CUTE! Also love Crab Cake and Spring Roll!
Me too Mrs Bee, I love the cocktail/app hour! I love it so much, it is the only reason I chose to do pre-photos before my wedding, so I could take part in it!
Here are my favorites:
1. Miss Crab Cake ( because they are my favorite!)
2. Miss Dumpling
3. Miss (insert cheese name here)
4. Miss Quiche
5. Miss Bruschetta
6. Miss Spring Roll
7. Miss Sushi
** What about Miss Tartlet or Miss Canape or Miss Crostini?
You could also consider doing dipping sauces, some have fun names like: Miss Aioli, Miss Remoulade, Miss Honey-glaze, Miss Balsamic with little bottle icons..maybe? ![]()
I love hors d’oeuvres!
Top ten…hmm…with a couple suggestions
1) Miss Dumpling (I mean really, how cute, and could be Southern-ized: Dumplin’)
2) Miss Deviled Egg (can you tell my location yet?)
3) Miss Spanakopita
4) How about Miss Blini?
5) Miss Hummus…or Miss Baba Ghanouj or Miss Falafel
6) Miss Crab Cake
7) Miss Wonton
Miss Samosa (how can we leave off samosa? SO yummy and finger-food friendly)
9) Miss Satay
10) Miss fondue (little bit retro, very cute)
Adorable idea - I love this! I especially love Ms. Deviled Egg (maybe the graphic can even be an egg portrayed as a female with a wedding veil and horns?)…I love Ms. Dumpling….Ms. Sushi - Maybe Ms. Spicy Tuna? I love Miss pig in a blanket! Miss Spring Roll - so classic. Miss Shrimp Cocktail is great. Miss Mozzarella stick? Ms. Spare Rib? Ms. Brie?
how about some sort of wonton? pakora? escargot? veggie stick? chicken wing?
and there’s always the option of mini-anything
also love the comment-ideas for blini, falafel, fondue, mushroom cap & frommage! I think they should be contenders!
I love:
Miss Brie
Miss Pig in a Blanket
Miss Spring Roll
Miss Antipasto
Miss Crab Cake
Miss Beef Wellington
Miss Mini Panini
Miss Oyster
Miss Tartlet
Miss Hush Puppy
Miss Crostini
Miss Tamale
Miss Mozzarella Puff
This is a cute idea! I love all of them! My favorite is Miss Sushi (I’d go for California rolls since that’s where I’m from! :P)
I also really like: spring roll, deviled egg, brie, and pork chop.
in no particular order:
crudite
spring roll
bruschetta
california roll
crab cake
dumpling
deviled egg
spanakopita
quiche
cheese is a bit broad, perhaps brie?
I wouldn’t do:
crap cake or spanakopita
I just don’t think they will translate well into a drawing.
My only suggestions would be:
buffalo wings
mozzarella sticks
potato skins
pizza
Hi! I think the following 10 would be great future bee names: pigs in a blanket, eggroll, spring roll, shrimp cocktail, oyster, crabcake, cheese, dumpling, spanakopita, and quiche. It would also be great and really creative to have 10 choices of sushi related items (for all of the sushi lovers) as future bee names: salmon roll, spicy tuna, shrimp roll, uni, phily roll, cali roll, salmon roe, eggcake, wasabi, and ginger.
Um, so I haven’t had anything to eat all day as I have to fast for some blood work this afternoon and I gotta say, I am now STARVING!!! Thanks!
I like these… they all sound… delicious.
I would also suggest:
Miss Tater Skin
Miss Buffalo Wing (My FI loves him some wings)
Miss Bloomin’ Onion (All 5000 calories worth… mmmm)
Miss Queso Dip
Miss Salsa
Miss Guacamole (not to be confused with Miss Avocado!)
OMG I am going to eat my arm off now. ![]()
This post makes me soooooo hungry.
Need food. Now.
I love crab cake, as I’m a New England bride.
I’m trying to think what pictures would be cute. Sushi (Miss Rainbow Roll?!?). Mushroom Cap.
I like these…
egg roll, spring roll, shrimp cocktail, bruschetta, sushi, crab cake, cheese, quesadilla (my fav b/c i am hispanic), quiche, and meatball.
What about wedding fabrics for names…like satin, lace…etc. But i am not sure how you could put pics of those
My top ten would be (in no particular order):
quiche, crab cake, crudite, dumpling, egg roll, satay, bruschetta, sushi (or what about sashimi? yummm!), cheese, spanakopita.
My absolute favourite would have to be to have a Miss Dumpling, though. I love the way it sounds! But the icon for her might be a wee bit bland.
My favorites are:
1-Miss Bruschetta
2-Miss Dumpling
3-Miss Meatball
4-Miss Shrimp Cocktail
5-Miss Quesadilla
6-Miss Spring Roll
7-Miss Deviled Egg
8-Miss Crab Cake
9-Miss Quiche
10-Miss Egg Roll
OMG… i would love to be miss pigs in a blanket and/or miss cheese, miss mini cheeseburger, or best of all, miss chicken wing!
or even miss tea sandwich, miss hummus, and miss spring roll. love it!
My favorites are:
Miss Crudite
Miss Spring Roll
Miss Satay
Miss Oyster
Miss Crab Cake
Miss Deviled Egg
Miss Meatball
Miss Sushi (I’m with you, Katherine, I like the idea of Miss Sashimi)
Miss Hummus
Miss Muffuletta (this one is my favorite but only because muffulettas are extremely “New Orleans” and that would be my choice of name if I were a bee)
Hors d’oeurves are often the best part so these new Bees are really lucky and mouthwatering! My vote in no particular order:
crudite
spring roll
deviled egg
satay
bruschetta
crab cake
sushi
Gouda
dumpling
spanakopita
the other new suggestions were also great - can’t wait!
