Mini Fast Food Favourites
Burgers, fish and chips, pizza, and tacos – the list goes on for delicious fast food options.

Mason jar Cocktails
Who doesn’t love a huge mason jar full of tasty cocktail goodness and colourful fruits? It’s a surefire way to get guests talking and add some fun to the event. You could lay out a table and let guests make their own (although this could get messy), or have an attendant on hand to mix them up. You could even create your own specific cocktail for your reception, named after you and your hubby or wife to be!
Man and Woman Caves
A super quirky idea is to have small cave areas set up at the reception, big enough to hold 5-10 people at a time. Rugs, soft cushions and tables set up with whiskey and cigars for the guys and champagne and chocolates for the girls – a perfect place to kick back and gossip about the day.
Picnic on the Lawn
If you’re lucky enough to have great weather for your wedding reception, talk to your wedding caterers about creating a picnic-style menu for your event. Rugs spread out, each with rustic boxes filled with breads, cheeses, dips, cakes and fruits could be an awesome way to add a different twist to your day. Cool boxes filled with mini wine bottles, beers and soft drinks will complete this unique way to spend your wedding reception.
