Fun Food Stations!

Posted on by Glendalough Manor

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!

Ways to Make Your Wedding Unique!!

Posted on by Glendalough Manor

I think every bride is looking for ways to make their wedding day as special and unique as possible. After seeing many weddings I have come to think the best way any bride can do this is by taking a look at her and her fiancés interests and incorporate it in to the wedding.  I have given some examples below how real brides make their day unique …

Table Numbers:   One of the many ways to make your wedding unique is by naming your tables instead of numbering them. It can be of all the places you have been together or maybe cities you want to visit.  My favorite was a bride and grooms that are hockey players and named all of their tables off of their favorite players….the guests understood the table names right away and loved that they brought hockey (which they both loved) to the wedding.  I also had a teacher use small chalkboards at each table with numbers written in chalk. Super cute!

Place cards or place card table: Oh! I love place card tables…yes… I know they are a pain, but if you think about it the place card table is one of the first things your guest will see as they enter your reception.  Anything goes with the place card tables!  I have had brides that love to read give out bookmarks as the place card and decorated the table with their favorite books.  I also had a bride with a wine theme use corks to hold up the place cards.

Favors:  Anything edible always is always great for your guests.  I love candy or sweets stations that incorporate all of the bride and grooms favorite themes.   I have a bride and groom that play softball and baseball having a “baseball” themed candy buffet….peanuts, cracker jacks, sunflower seeds you name it they are having it on their candy buffet.  

I hope all of these examples have helped jump start your creative ideas…….Happy Planning!
