that’s exactly it, it’s a holdover from the firehall days when the ladies auxiliary would serve up chicken riggies and there would be a huge table of homemade pizzelles and other cookies. now weddings in restaurants and other venues do it too, as a hat tip to the olden days. but it’s done by the family. yes, soother, your wedding sounds like the olden days to me, bc that’s what my peers were doing in the early 80s : )
my SIL is offering to make buckeyes, but will need to assemble them at my house bc it will be too hot to be dragging them up from TX in early Sept. i am not yet sure about that.
We did hire someone to do the cake and cookies. That wasn’t part of the firehall deal.
Yeah, they no longer have the ladies auxiliary there. You have to bring in an outside caterer now.
