Essential or Extra? - Dessert options beyond the cake

Maren, on September 4, 2018 at 11:34 AM

Posted in Wedding Reception 125

Are you having any extra dessert options for your guests at your reception? Beyond the cake--- are you including a dessert table, doing something unconventional like a pie bar, planning a donut wall, or arranging a late-night/midnight snack? Is this essential or extra?

    Extra... Having one dessert option is enough, but I can understand if someone desires one because they enjoy sweets and have a budget for it.

    I love my donut wall and cannot wait. We are having on the dessert table small cake, cupcakes, cookies, and brownies. The donut wall which is amazing, btw, will have donuts & baskets of eclairs. This will switch over to our late night snack of philly pretzels.

    We had macarons at ours!

    They were GONE before we could get any, so they were a huge hit!!!

    Extra, but good in case someone doesn't like cake.

    This was extra for us. I would have loved to have had smores as snacks, but it just wouldn't work out.

    I am just doing my wedding cake, it's four tired cake with different flavors. The bakery offered me to give me a anniversary cake, so I don't have to save any. I want all my cake to be gone, so no dessert table

    I love how you're serving coffee with the cake Smiley smile It may be just me... but coffee & dessert like this always makes it feel extra special, to me. Sounds absolutely perfect for your wedding day and I'm sure your guests will love it. Smiley heart Smiley heart

    Essential! We are having a ice cream bar and no cake. FH and I aren't big fans of cake.

    We thought about it, but decided not. We are, however, doing a hot chocolate bar.

    Hi Kyla! An ice-cream bar will be so great! Unique, super fun, and a crowd-pleaser Smiley winking Are you having a local ice-cream shop cater it or how are you going about doing this?

    Hi Maren. We are having Graeter's (a local shop) cater and serve the ice cream. We choose three flavors that will be pre-scooped for the reception, but the guests can choose their own toppings. FH and I had our first date at Graeter's. Smiley love

    Extra, but I think people enjoy different options. Depends on type of wedding and how many people.
