Silver Serving Trays

Silver Serving Trays for a Shining Display

Silver serving trays lend a metallic touch to your next gathering, whether used to showcase appetizers, barware or a decorative display. A rectangular platter in a brandished style holds hors d'oeuvres for a crowd—from bacon-wrapped dates and potstickers to taquitos and stuffed mini peppers. Simply bake your recipe in advance and then transfer it to the serveware after company arrives. Alternatively, for a casual get-together, consider a smaller board for charcuterie and cheese. Either way, stack small plates, napkins and serving utensils nearby for your invitees' convenience. If you're planning on specialty libations, a silver serving tray contains ingredients for your favorite cocktails—from bitters and maraschino cherries to citrus slices and soda water. First, set one down on the bar cabinet. Then, arrange coordinating bar tools, including a muddler, shaker and stirrer, atop its surface for easy access during the party. Prefer spirits or wine instead? Situate a decanter of your favorite drink in the center alongside your ice bucket and empty glasses for guests' enjoyment.
