Get skinny-ish baguettes, cut them and top them with fun things like: Roast beef, horseradish, rocket Smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers, dill Chicken, cream cheese, sundried tomatoes, basil
This is good cause you can do all your meat the day before (ie. roast a piece of beef, poach your chicken) and cut it up - on day, just need to assemble. Plus, they can fill people up.
Another fun one is to make wonton cups and fill with asian style salad/noodles. You can pre-fry the wonton wrappers the day before and make your noodles the day before (salad will have to be done on the day - but can prep the salad the day before) and then fill on the day.
Sushi is good too - instead of doing it in rolls though you can do it in a baking tray and then cut them up into squares. Did that make any sense??
Women's day has a great canapes book which is like $5 - $10. Keep an eye out for it at the shops.
Cause it's a big party, I'd also recommend casing your local chinese shop and trying some pre-made stuff for the big day - ie. dumplings, spring rolls, curry puffs, samosas. Some of them are pretty good and it just means you can steam them/fry them on the day and serve them up without fussing around. Also pastizzis are always a hit too.
