A Sweet Idea...

So you've made it through the ceremony, and everyone is at the reception.
The band announces that dinner is served, and everyone sits down.
Dinner is cleared, and the guests are up & dancing.

Now what you probably never notice at the wedding is that while everyone is shaking their tail feather, dessert has been served. And half the time, the dessert is cleared before you even get a chance to electric slide your way off of the dance floor and back to your table.

Being the ultimate sweet-tooth advocate, this pains me each and every time. I love the ceremony & the dancing, as much as the next girl, but what I really love is cake! pudding! cookies! tiny, little apple and raspberry tarts topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg .. Mmm!

Here's an idea:
Instead of the classic sit-down dessert where
slices of the wedding cake are served & then
thrown out, make your dessert travel to your
guests. Dessert shots are the hottest trend, with
waiters serving them (similar to the butlered
cocktail hour) during the night. This way, guests
never have to leave the dance floor & everyone gets
their sweet treat! These can be served with our without
alcohol for added fun. Because the shots are on the small
side they can feel guilt free, even if they don't make you
look guilt free. Ask your caterer about the dessert shot
options and see what's presented to you!
