Donut bar

Yasmine, on January 1, 2019 at 1:59 PM Posted in Planning 0 25
Fiancé and I are thinking of doing a donut bar but he thinks no one will really eat it so why have it. I think it’s a good idea and goes with our brunch theme of 70 ppl. Thoughts ?

    Love this idea and we just spoke about this last night. FH loves the idea but also thinks no one will eat them since we also have cake. Our theme is brunch for dinner so our cake looks like a stack of pancakes. Following this one to see thoughts as well. Smiley smile

    I think it’s great especially for your theme, people who don’t eat cake will probably enjoy them they’re a light alternative to cake in my opinion.

    Hi Yasmine! I absolutely love donuts at a wedding! I think it would be really fun to have a large variety of donuts, especially for a brunch-themed wedding! Here are a few photos for inspiration!

    I agree. How many donuts were you thinking? One for each? We are having about 50 people so I was thinking maybe 30 donuts so that we do not waste them. How were you going to display them? So many decisions! Lol! Smiley winking

    For my wedding personally I will have 70 guest so I was thinking maybe 50 donuts as I’m sure everyone won’t eat one and we have cake so it fills in. I was thinking of doing a table display of different donut types and havingmy cake on the same table. Like one dessert bar!

    I love the idea too. We love donuts and have a delicious bakery that I would like to get them from. I’m just afraid they’ll be stale-ish by the evening. Donuts don’t seem to keep as well as other desserts, but maybe it’s nothing to worry about.

    My husband and I had donuts instead of a cake and the donuts went so fast! Everyone was raving about the donuts we got at our favorite mom and pop donut shop.

    Some people will take more than one donut. We ordered 120 donuts and had about 80 something guests. All the donuts were gone and we probably could have gotten more. But if you have a cake with enough slices for each person, less donuts will be okay.

    I think that's a pretty neat idea!! i'd love it if I went to a wedding that had that. I'm considering mini apple pies because of having the wedding in the fall, and here in MI it's big time Apple Orchard season

    This sounds so YUM! If you're a Pinterest user I encourage you to look up "doughnut wall" there are such stylist ways to display the food :-)

    We are doing a donut bar. We are not doing a brunch theme but instead of buying a giant cake and donuts, we are buying 2 donuts per guest and then my mom is making a small cake just to put a topper on and to cut.

    I think for a brunch wedding it's awesome! I would eat one. Is it your only dessert?
