Bus tour between wedding and dinner - What should we do for snacks on the bus?

Joy, on November 29, 2018 at 2:50 PM Posted in Planning 0 9

We are getting married on a somewhat remote island in Scotland and are hiring a bus to take us and our 25 guests on a tour of the island after the wedding for pictures and sightseeing. We estimate that we'll be on the bus tour for about 2-3 hours with stops at a castle, a beach, some historical sites, and some short hikes. We want to provide snacks for folks, but nothing too heavy since we're having dinner shortly after we get back from the tour. I was thinking of getting some local cheese, sausage, bread/crackers, fruit, and cookies from the local bake shop. Do you think this is enough? The wedding is at 2 and dinner is at 6, so folks will have time for lunch before the wedding.

    First check and make sure you can have snacks on the bus. I'd do something simple, not messy, and doesnt need cutting or refrigeration.

    That sounds awesome! Very jealous!! I think since they're on a bus, meat and cheese might be kind of tricky, like how do they get it? Will it be passed around? This is a little more casual but what about popcorn or something similar? You could do a variety so it isn't just plain popcorn, but I feel like it might be an easier snack to handle

    That all sounds really cool!

    Are you planning on eating on the bus? If you could have individual baggies with a sampling of the cheese/meats/crackers in it, that might work. Otherwise not sure how people would get them on the bus. Cookies and fruit sound like a great idea as well.

    Could you make everyone an individual bag? I would go with fruit, cookies, and pre-packaged snacks like chips, crackers, etc. I also think water would be good in the bag!

    What time is the ceremony? I think that'll make a difference because if it's at say 1 pm, everyone is going to be wanting lunch, not just snacks.

    The snacks you chose sound great! They aren't going to give off too many crumbs, won't stain anyone's clothing, easy to eat on the go, etc. Be sure to have wet wipes on hand!

    This sounds so cool! What part of Scotland are you getting married in? I think cheese, crackers, fruit, chips all sound fine. Maybe some hummus and carrots? Obviously nothing too messy to eat in motion.

    We’re getting married on the Isle of Mull, which is where my family is from. I’m thinking we might actually do the snacks as a picnic opportunity on Calgary Beach, if it’s warm enough (we’re getting married in late May).
