Finger sandwiches ideas for showers and teas, with trays and prices

For finger sandwiches ideas for a shower or tea, order Assorted Finger Sandwiches, $89 a tray, 60 pieces, and Pinwheel Sandwiches, $79 a tray, 60 pieces, then add fruit and something sweet. For 30 guests that is 120 sandwiches (4 a guest), plus fruit and sweets, for $301 before tax, about $10 a guest. Upper Crust makes them in Yorkville, and they are ready for pick-up or quoted delivery.

The sandwich trays

• Assorted Finger Sandwiches: $89, 60 pieces.
• Pinwheel Sandwiches: $79, 60 pieces.
• Open Faced Mini Grilled Reubens: $64, 28 pieces, hot.
• Smoked Salmon with Cream Cheese & Party Rye: $80.
• Bruschetta with Garlic Toast Points: $45, 60 pieces, vegetarian.

We do not list fillings on the menu, so ask what is on the trays when you order, especially if a guest is vegetarian or has a food allergy.

A shower for 30

We plan about 4 sandwich pieces a guest when salad or fruit and sweets are also on the table. This is a planning guide.

• 1 tray Assorted Finger Sandwiches: $89
• 1 tray Pinwheel Sandwiches: $79
• 1 Seasonal Fresh Fruit Display: $74
• 1 Assorted Dessert Tray, 40 pieces: $59

That is 120 sandwich pieces, fruit and 40 sweets for $301. Divide by 30 and it is about $10.03 a guest. With 9.25% sales tax it is $328.84. Add plates, napkins and silverware at $1.50 a person, $45 for 30.

Shower package

If you would rather have a set menu, the Shower Package is $21.99 a person for croissant sandwiches, salads and sweet treats. The minimum is 20 guests. The trays above cost less per guest, and the package is a complete meal. See showers and brunches for the full picture.

Ideas to make the table work

• Put sandwiches on two levels or two ends so the line splits.
• Pair a hot tray with the cold ones, such as the mini Reubens.
• Add a salad for guests who want more than a sandwich: Fresh Baby Spinach Salad, $49.
• Offer a drink with the sandwiches: Iced Tea, Punch or Lemonade is $89 for 50 servings, and Coffee is $89 for 50 servings.

For a bigger shower

At 60 guests, double it: two trays of each sandwich is 240 pieces for $336, which is $89 + $89 + $79 + $79. Add two fruit displays at $74 each and two dessert trays at $59 each, and the food is $602 before tax, about $10.03 a guest again. The per-guest cost holds steady because trays scale in whole units.

About teas

We do not provide a tea service, such as tiered stands, china or hot tea. If you are hosting a tea, order the sandwich trays, sweets and a pitcher drink from us and bring your own tea setup. For other ideas, see ham sandwiches and sandwich platters and the cheese tray guide.

How to order

Trays and platters have no minimum. Order about three days ahead. Send your count through the quote form or call (630) 553-9533.
