I live in Iowa and the cookie table is not done around here. But I think its a great idea. I enjoy a wedding that is a little different. My son got married this summer and he had a outside wedding and the reception was a potluck. And to my surprised people really enjoyed it. They didn't mind bringing a dish for everyone to share. It was more like a old fashion wedding where everyone did something special to make it a wonderful day. It was just a simple wedding but so very nice.
