or an Oreo
? I can't decide either but both are a good option for a reception snack. Both are also cost effective ways to feed your guests and keep them having fun at your party. Get started with your brainstorming by looking over the ideas below.Candy Bar
First your basics. You'll need suckers, mini candy bars, licorice, bubble gum, and chocolate. For a list of places you can buy candy in bulk, click here. The cost can add up but if you space out the expenses by buying a little here and a little there, you can probably handle it. Remember, it's candy so the shelf life is longer and most of it should be fine even if you buy it a few months in advance. Don't forget some small brown paper bags for guests to take some sweets home. You can even add stickers for a small price. Click here to see an example.
Cookie Table
This one might be harder but could also be more personal. Ask 10 friends/family members to whip up three dozen cookies. Buy or bake a few dozen yourself. Spread them out on the table with big silver platters and the same brown bag idea from the candy bar. This time though, get the recipes from your friend and family bakers and make copies for guests to take with them. They'll love it, the bakers will love it, and it's an easy and super cheap party favor for your guests. This by far is your cheaper option.
Another option is to skip the wedding cake all together and pick one of these ideas as your dessert. Or you could do a small wedding cake that's just for you and your new husband/wife for pictures and the head table, and let the guests stuff themselves with cookies or candy.
