Post-Sweet Table Fare

 

Weddings and food are a given. Beautiful settings and delicious food are the rule, not the exception when you get that invitation in your mailbox.  This summer, late night food stations with an array of goodies were the latest rage as guests departed to their homes,  in style. Sliders, although a popular choice, have been downgraded after Chelsea Clinton served a 2 a.m. snack of grilled cheese sandwiches, popcorn and brownies.

It’s a greasy snack, a comfort food and cheese is just perfect for absorbing alcohol as the party-goers head for the road, after the wedding celebration.

Nostalgia is in for late night partying. Cereal stations are starting to be sighted with sugary varieties of Captain Crunch and Cocoa Puffs.  A new emerging trend for sure and brides are serving milk and cookies, too!

Also featured this summer were old-style hot dog carts, candy floss and Poutine and French fries.  This shift replaces the conventional offerings of pastries and fruit as the last comestibles at the reception. These snacks reflect the personality of the bride and groom, and what they find to be the ultimate snack when they get home late at night.

Whatever you decide to serve  as a post reception food is up to you and your group of guests. It is always smart to ensure that they have something to snack on before they depart. Also, big urns of coffee and water are welcome at the end of the evening with the nibbles , as you want everyone to arrive home safe and sound.
