I am curious to know more about the cookie table tradition. The weddings that I usually go to have a full dinner, either served sit down or buffet, the traditional tiered wedding cake, groom's cake, open bar and a dance. Usually children are not included in the invitations. When you have all the sweet cookies, do you have an open bar? Is a dance part of these weddings?

I have heard of them.I'm originally from Mass. When my sister got married in 1974 (I think) her MIL's side of the family made every kind of Italian cookies for the shower and wedding. Trays and trays of them and had them on a table. And the guest also could take some home in little bags. I thought it was an Italian tradition rather than a regional one.

I have never heard of serving cookies at a wedding reception, but I think it is a brilliant idea. It sounds like so much fun, that several members of the family (and maybe friends too) could be a part of the wedding party by contributing their own special cookies. The take home bags or boxes is a nice touch too.

I think it must be a regional thing. Cool idea. I think anymore weddings are less formal and very different. One this summer had pink as her color and she had a cotton candy machine Several lately have a photo booth for guests, complete with clothes to dress up. Never heard of the cookies but sounds fun, maybe that has taken the place of the groom's cake that used to be handed to guests.
