Pretzel late night snack

I'm not sure on the warm thing or not, but I'd be concerned that people would eat them earlier than you planned, if they are set up before the reception.

I feel serving the pretzels warm would be a better idea

I don't think people would realize that they're a late night snack if they're set out before the reception. I would also be concerned about freshness if they're sitting out for 4+ hours.

If they are set up before the reception, I think people will start to eat them as soon as they enter the room. I don't think they will survive to be eaten as late night snacks. Can you have the venue set them up later in the evening?

I would try to have them set up later. And I think you will definitely want them warmed.

I don't think that they need to be warmed per say, just fresh - or rather not hard.
I would see if you can store them in a container & perhaps tie a bag around the container to keep any air out, as air destroys pretzels, and put them out when you want people to eat them.

I don't think they have to be served warm, but if they can be I would do that!

That is what I would do. And you can include a little note on there saying "thank you for helping us tie the knot" - which depending on the pretzel shape could be fitting as they could have a knot in the middle. I'm from Philly - I am serious w/ my pretzels

That sounds cool to have. I think it would be better served later. Because people might think it's a pre reception thing and eat it and it sounds like it could be filling.

Did you decide if you will have the pretzel bar set up before the reception, Alexandria?
