S'more Questions

Good question! I am going to do a s'mores bar as well. I will probably do 1.5 x the amount of people coming. So 225 if I were you Although I'm sure that will be way too many, I'd hate to not have enough!!!

Not every single guest will have one, but some will have more than one. I think it'd be fun to have a s'mores bar at a wedding, but the less hassle would be to just not do it.

Yeah, I'm wondering if the difference between those not having one and those having more than one is likely to even it out or not.

@Amanda - That's fair. I guess the worst thing that can happen is that we'll have extra s'more supplies. There are certainly worse problems to have. :-)

I'm doing s'mores. I know it wouldn't be any hassle if I didn't do them at all, but I want to have them and want to look for the most stress free way to handle it.

I'd say 1 per person, that is what I am planning on since I am having a dessert table and candy bar also.

I am setting it up like this.

Was at a wedding this weekend that did s'mores bar and cake! Most people had the smores than cake so they ran out of chocolate. It's such a fun idea so definitely go on the heavier side. Can the caterer stagger filling the chocolate so you can return leftovers? If not - pass on leftovers to make a fun dessert for your family after!

It'll be a diy s'mores bar so I'll be providing all the supplies and likely asking my doc to oversee that it's set up properly. Good to know it was a hit!

Set up a s'mores bar. FYI: marshmallows typically aren't vegetarian (they're usually made with gelatin). It would be nice to either provide vegetarian marshmallows, or get fancy marshmallows that don't have gelatin in them.

Good call @Lindsey! I'll look into that for sure. Thanks!

We are doing smores and wrapping the set for each person and putting them at the tables at their places

I'm having a fire pit with blankets and a s'mores setup. I'm going to get enough stuff for 1.5 x the guests.

I'm doing the supplies in large glass jars that have lids.

Asthmatic family, here. We couldn't go outside, if there was a fire pit. We went to one wedding, where my Mother had to leave (choking) a few minutes after one was lit outside.

I'd rather have something to take home.

I wish s'mores were the default dessert at weddings instead of cake. And I wouldn't offer all the jazz I see on Pinterest s'mores bars such as sauces, filled chocolate, flavored marshmallows or Graham crackers - I'd stick to the plain Graham crackers, regular jumbo marshmallows and plain Hershey bars. Also, get tongs instead of scoops for the supplies.

1.5 x #guests is the best way to figure out (most) dessert counts. Some won't have any, others will have 2, and it balances out.

Sounds yummy.

I would do a bar instead of individual and get cute little glass domes to put on top to keep bugs out. I think calculating 1.5 per person is fine. I love them but I can only eat one. My FH can eat 2 or 3 so I think it would even out.

Just be careful with the grahams. They go stale very quickly. We had a s'mores bar at a party 2 years ago, and I set everything up at the beginning. By dessert, I had to toss the grahams and open a new package. I'm going to experiment with how long they will last set up on a plate and wrapped in plastic wrap before my wedding. My plan is to prep all the plates and platters with supplies (traditional s'mores stuff plus GS cookies) in the morning, so my DOC just has to plop and unwrap when the time comes.

We're calculating 1.5x since there will also be cookies and cake. We apparently want to give our guests a late night sugar rush! ;-)
