The Cookie Table

[gatordeltapgh]

Two years ago I went to a wedding in Youngstown, OH with 520 guests. The cookie table on the bride's "side" of the ballroom (dance floor in the middle) was actually 8 round tables pushed together. On the groom's side there were 5 round tables pushed together. I've never seen anything like it in my life. Family members baked for months and froze the cookies. When the cookie table opened there was a mad dash by the older ladies to scope it out and pick their favorites. I took a picture of my husband at one end of the cookie table(s) and you can't even see him!

For our wedding in the 'burgh we had a cookie & candy table. The cookies were gone fast. I didn't even get one! The candy was a bust. Go figure!

Never even been to PA, but after seeing this thread a few years ago I volunteered to put together a cookie table at a friend's wedding. It turned out to be amazing, and when the fourth of our former roommates gets married we plan to go all out for it. It was a huge hit.

^ Hey, I'm all for cookie table evangelism! Seriously, it's the best part of the wedding. Just remember that Pittsburgh started it ;-)

I had never heard of a cookie table prior to seeing it on here. So obviously I didn't have a cookie table at my wedding 2 1/2 years ago lol!

Watched a show this past weekend on TLC called Four Weddings. Basically four brides go to each others' weddings and then rate them. Winner gets a trip to the Caribbean or Hawaii or wherever. Anyways, the weddings were in the general Pittsburgh area, and a couple of the brides had cookie tables. Holy moly, those tables were COVERED with a million different cookies. Though of Greekchat when I saw them.

So I just turned on the TV to Pittsburgh's PBS station WQED, and they are showing a 4 HOUR cooking show called "The Cookie Table". The content is as one would expect...a bunch of grans cooking amazing cookies. For four hours. Yeeess...

Might this be available online? I feel pretty confident we won't get this in Columbus being Ohio and all.

hmm, didn't see it on their site, but there's lots of other really wonderful Pittsburgh content (there's gotta be cookies in here somewhere...) here: wqed.org/tv/watch/

I finally found the picture of the monitor cookie table from the Youngstown, OH wedding. You can barley see my husband standing at the end of the 8 table spread.

^Impressive!

I've been asked to be in charge of the Cookie Table at the next wedding at our church. The bride-to-be was impressed by the meaning of ours!

Wouldn't it be an incredible fundraiser for PBS to give away various sized tins of Cookie Table cookies to donors? Sure beats the tired old totebag and DVD!

I would get married just for the cookies.

ha ha - you can have a pretty ceremony. Just don't sign anything, cuz you're not married until you put pen to paper!!
