Selecting your wedding menu can take a little time. Do you go with your favorite foods? Three course meal or five course? What about food allergies and special diets? All of these things, and more, should be considered during your selection process. However, to make things even more fun, we are going to share 9 wedding menu treats that can be created in addition to your main course!
Popsicle cocktails: Pair two things together that everyone loves, cocktails and popsicles, for a nice fruity treat. All you have to do is pour a half glass of your favorite champagne and stick a popsicle in the glass.
Cookies and milk: Serving cookies and milk during your cocktail hour is something that is not often done, but when it is, it’s a hit! Select your favorite cookie dough, whether it be chocolate milk, oatmeal raisin, sugar, etc., and sit it on the rim of a small shot glass filled with milk.
Mini grilled cheese and tomato soup: This is another great idea for a snack with substance. Take your grilled cheese sandwich and cut it into 4-6 pieces and put each on top of a shooter glass filled with tomato soup.
Personal pizzas: You cannot go wrong serving pizza at any occasion. Having little bite sized versions will definitely be a snack that goes away quickly, especially if you have children at your wedding.
Mini chicken and waffles: Serve mini fried chicken bites on top of a mini waffle and for added bonus you can pre-drizzle some syrup on some of them. These definitely work best with toothpicks or stick in them for easier serving.
Fried mac and cheese pops: Just reading this makes our mouths water! For this snack you will need breadcrumbs, the usual mac and cheese ingredients, and an ice cream scooper for easier serving.
Shrimp and grits: Most shrimp meals are a hit at events. Creating a mini shrimp and grits snack, in a bowl, fillo shell, or another edible item will be a hit.
Mini Tacos: You can really get creative with this whether you have beef, chicken, shrimp, etc! Add some lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, or the sauce of your choice
Strawberry shortcake in a jar: Perfect dessert on the go! You can grab one of these and enjoy on the dance floor, or even take one on your way out.
The selection above is just some of DTYE’s favorites, but there are so many more options for you to choose from! Check out these links from TheKnot.com and Huffington Post:
