End of the Night Surprises

I always love to have the perfect wedding end with a little surprise. For example, a Krispy Kreme Donut display with coffee or McDonalds cheeseburgers and fries delivered or a "bride and groom's favorite junk food" bar. Nothing makes your guests smile more after a night of dancing and drinking then to be able to put something oh so yummy in their tummies.

Here are some of my favorite ideas.....

Krispy Kreme and Coffee Station

Order a bunch of individually packaged donuts from Krispy Kreme, most stores will even deliver to your wedding location. Have your wedding planner arrange the donuts along with hot brewed coffee equipped with to-go cups on a table by the exit so your guests can grab a treat with a cup of joe on their way home.

Pizza Bar

Have your wedding planner order or coordinate with your catering company to make numerous different types of pizzas for your guests to nibble on prior to their departure. A cute addition is to have your wedding planner place out pizza cutting wedding favors such as the ones below in the pizza bar for your guests to grab along with their favorite pizza slice.

Bride and Groom's Junk Food Deliver

Have your wedding planner coordinate with your catering staff to make up your favorite junk foods in a mini version. Place your cheeseburgers, fries, popsicles, chicken wings, corndogs, etc. for your guests to munch on. Really pizazz your guests by sending out these junk foods by having your catering staff deliver the food on silver trays. Talk about wow-ing!!!

Unique Wedding Food

So a big way to say thank you to your guests for coming to your wedding is to provide them with a great dinner but most wedding banquet food is the same. It usually consists of a chicken or beef with a potato side dish and a veggie. Want to give your guests something to talk about when it comes to your wedding day food, check out these great unique food options:

Travel Around the World Food Stations:

Set up your wedding reception room withe numerous food stations. Each station represents a certain county with ethnic food from the area. Here a a few great stations: a pasta station to represent Italy, chicken skewers and fried rice to represent Japan, and meatball loaf with martini mashed potato bar to represent USA.

Our Favorite Foods Menu:

Choose a wedding menu based around your favorite foods. Make sure to include a menu card on your guest table telling your guests why you picked the food you did.

Upscale Home-Cooking County Buffet:

Make comfort foods look glamorous and yummy by adding intricate details to your home-cooking county buffet. Instead of just having fried chicken have your caterer make mini fired chicken on a stick with 3 dipping sauces. Have your caterer make mac and cheese on a stick, mini meatloaf in a red wine tomato sauce, and a mashed potato bar where your guests can add the toppings they want.
