Thanks for Popping By! Gourmet Popcorn Bar

Many brides struggle with wedding favor ideas. When selecting a wedding favor, many aim to give their guests a “favorable” gift. Some of the more popular wedding favors are edible. Not only does everybody love popcorn, but it’s also a cheap treat idea for the wedding reception! Decking your wedding out with a gourmet popcorn bar is sure to impress the adults and little ones alike. You can go as extravagant or simple as you’d like, depending on your budget and wedding formality.

Selecting a few different flavored popcorns with mini favor bags is an easy and popular choice. You can really spice it up a notch with gourmet toppings and seasonings such as; ranch, nacho cheddar, kettle corn, movie theater butter, white cheddar and perhaps even a spicy chili lime powder. Popcorn balls are also a nice little addition to any popcorn station.

I also like the idea of adding a larger variety of treats to mix and match. You could include chocolate chips, nuts, peanuts, candy, sunflower seeds, dried fruit, M&Ms, crystalized ginger, shredded coconut, mini pretzels, Chex cereal, banana chips, granola, etc… What’s your favorite popcorn add in?
