ADVICE FROM A PRO

Matt’s tip

“It’s always a good idea to have some inexpensive ‘filler’ items on your dessert table, such as popcorn, pretzels, cookies, or donuts, to pad things out and ensure guests will still feel full if other items should run out.

Pretzel wall display stands are a great way to elevate the humble pretzel and make them more feel a little more special.

You can also set up a pretzel stand somewhere separate from the dessert table, near the entrance or during a drinks reception, in order to offer guests an interim snack to tide them until the food service or the dessert table opens.

Alternatively, set one up near the dance floor later in the evening to help soak up the alcohol if guests have been drinking for several hours.

If you choose to personalize the stand with custom text, I’d recommend choosing wording that isn’t too event or date-specific, that way you can reuse it for future occasions.
