Who isn’t tired of eating the same baked chicken, green beans and mashed potatoes at every wedding? I know I am!! I recently attended a wedding reception where the bride offered themed food stations for dinner. I have to say it was one of the most fun and interesting wedding dinners I had ever had that I couldn’t help but share some of these ideas with you!
You may not like the idea of only offering food stations at your wedding but I think even if you decide on a buffet dinner you can always add one or two of these stations to your menu to make it a little more interesting. Or some of these stations would work great as a late night snack after a long night of dancing!
One station that would be a great addition to any buffet menu is the Mashed Potatoes Station! Guests are offered whipped mashed potatoes with an assortment of toppings to choose from including cheese, broccoli, gravy, bacon and much more. The best part is they are served in these martini glasses which look so yummy once prepared!
A new station I love is a burger and fry station! How cute are these mini sliders? Guests can choose if they want a beef or veggie patty and add their own condiments including choice of cheese, bacon, lettuce and tomato. Add some hot dogs by this slider station and some fries and onion rings you have an all-American themed station that guests won’t be able to get enough of!
If you are having a more casual wedding, I like the idea of a grilled cheese or panini station. Serve with some tomato soup and you have yummy meal all at one station. Grilled cheese sandwiches and panini’s are also great for a late night snack!
If you want an Italian themed station you can choose to have a chef attended pasta station where guests can choose the type of pasta, sauce and toppings and it is cooked in front of them. Or you can have an assortment of pizzas! Yum!
And to wash it all down you can have a fun themed drink station!
