Light dessert reception

No full meal, and few, if any, savories. Don't arrive hungry.

I have heard of people serving only cake and nuts; apparently the nuts are the savory when that happens.

Personally, I've never been to a wedding reception that didn't involve at least enough nibbles and savories to fill up, including receptions billed as "heavy hors d'oeuvres." In fact, seldom have I been to a wedding that wasn't a full meal, or enough nibbles to count as one. Apparently that's a region-by-region thing.

All of that said, a wedding with just fondue sounds re-bleeping-pulsive. I went to a fondue party not long ago and there was a LOT of double-dipping. GAAAAACCCCKKKK.

I grew up, and still live, in Washington DC.

(edited because "lust fondue," while a hilarious typo, is not a real thing. I hope.)

Hmmm "lust fondue" to me would be endless pound cake and a chocolate fountain. Yummmmmm!!
