Since Daniel and I are planning a mid-afternoon wedding, we are not serving a meal. But, we will have a little dancing, so we want to provide a small salty snack to compliment the cake and pie--does anyone else feel like they NEED salt after they've had a little sugar, and vice versa? Is it just me?
Anyway, who doesn't love popcorn? And there are so many ways to flavor it, both salty and sweet! Daniel and I are planning to have a few date nights between now and the wedding to try some new popcorn seasonings--we hope to find several we really like, and maybe a few our guests may have never thought to try!
After we decided we wanted to have a small appetizer or snack, I began brainstorming ways we could try to please everyone, but not buy a ton of different types of food. I started thinking about what I like to eat on a crisp fall afternoon/evening, and then I remembered when I was little, we used to get those big ol' tins of assorted flavors of popcorn right before the holiday season. Aha! I searched popcorn on Pinterest and sure enough--I was not the first to come up with it. And that's okay, because I love seeing the ways other couples have set up space for this specific treat.
So cute! And right up our alley, as far as budget goes. There are several places you can buy popcorn in bulk for a very affordable price, including Sam's Club. I'm excited to use these photo as inspiration to create a popcorn bar of our own!
Popcorn is not a usual food selection at a wedding reception, but it’s interesting to have - very playful - since your wedding was held in a mid-afternoon. It’s a good balancer to the sweet side of your food selection. I’m sure your guests were all delighted to have tried every flavor.
