Adding a sweets station to your reception food menu is a great way to stretch a dessert budget, especially if you have a large guest list and can’t afford a big wedding cake. If you’re doing a treat station that’s easy to take-away, like candy or cookies, it can easily double as favors too (another cost-cutting tip!). Place favor bags on the table with a sign that says something like “Thank you for coming, you’re so sweet. Please take a treat!” That way guests know they can load their bag with goodies and enjoy them after the celebration. Here are some of our favorite treat bar ideas to inspire your own:
