Ramekins are the perfect size for a guest, and depending on the appetizer, you'll be able to cook right in the dish. Try this display for something warm like macaroni and cheese or a chocolate soufflé. 4.  Go bold with a box.

Paper cones serve as excellent containers for fries, veggies, and other finger foods. Personalize the cones by outfitting them with a pretty paper wrap or have your new monogram printed on them. Don't forget to add the sauce or dressing at the bottom of the cone for easy dipping access! --By Alexia Conley
