Put a sweet twist on your reception or after party.
During the reception cut the cake before dinner so that it can be served as desert and everyone will get a slice, this will also save you money because you won’t have to pay for a desert.
As the reception is winding down have the wait staff pass bite sized deserts on silver trays and have a coffee station with coffee, tea, milk and hot chocolate. This will also get guests up and socializing maybe even back out on the dance floor keeping your party going to the very end.
At the after party greet your guests with a glass of champagne or your signature drink and have wait staff pass bite sized deserts.
During the after party you should serve some type of food. If you don’t want to pay for a full meal you can offer shrimp cocktail in a shot glass, French fries in mini Chinese takeout boxes and bite size hamburgers
The newest trend is now the candy bar. A candy bar can be very economical and can replace the guest favor. Guests can fill small bags or boxes with their favorite candy and take it home for a late night treat. Candy bars are fun for everyone and can be coordinated into your chosen décor or theme.
