The Cookie Table

I don't think, however, that people hold it against a couple if their cookie table isn't the greatest thing a guest has ever seen. They may hold it against them if the cookies aren't that good, though.

And attributing a marriage that doesn't last to the lack of a cookie table is most likely 90% joke. I've also never seen someone leave a wedding because there was no cookie table.

Cookie table is only super important to me when the cake is not good. If I don't care for the cake, or the slices are SUPER tiny, it's no big deal when there is a table full of good stuff next to it. So if I don't like the cake and the cookies aren't good (or there are no cookies), I have to go dessert-less.

Also (for non-Midwestern peeps), the cookie table isn't usually JUST cookies. I have seen them with brownies, a chocolate fountain (with fruit for dipping), and mini cheesecake as well.

Ah gotcha. I guess I figured if it was a southern thing, that it wouldn't be so incredulous if people did attribute a failed marriage to a lack of a cookie table.

But then I haven't been to a wedding with a cookie table so if someone said "they had an awesome cookie table" I'd look at you like

And candy, candy, candy! Chocolates! Sweets! OMG. I was at a wedding where they had gumball machines on the cookie table. Yum yum yum!

OMG this thread is making me hit the red and green M&Ms HARD.

To be honest, I can't remember the last wedding reception I went to where they didn't have a chocolate fountain.
