Hi. Am a relative newbie only been doing and learning low carb for a few weeks now.
Because of lockdown I've not had to face social gathering or eating out yet, but Friday seems like neighbours will be 'partying' in own front gardens.
Want my husband and son to feel like it is party which for us usually means some pastry and cakes in various forms, but what can I do for myself to not feel like a leper and to prevent me being tempted by their food?

I am afraid if I start on sugar I won't be able to stop
 
sandwiches, but use lettuce wraps instead of bread? cheese and silverskin onions on cocktail sticks or similar?
berries and whipped cream? colourful mixed salad and salmon, tuna or the like? hardboiled eggs and mayo? ham rolled up and filled with soft cheese?
 
Sausages wrapped in bacon, chicken breast wrapped in bacon, anything low carb wrapped in bacon
