I have never heard of a cookie table at a wedding but it sounds yummy. Several of the nieces and nephews in my family and my daughter don't really like cake. SO they had a small wedding cake for them and served cheesecakes to the guests. I made them all. Some of the weddings I made several different kinds of cheesecakes. Everyone liked it. It was somthing different.

I have never heard of this tradition on the west coast, but cupcake trees in lieu of a huge wedding cake have become popular. I think that is a great idea. Have you ever been "HONORED" with the job of cake cutter? That is a horrid job. Thankfully it is usually reserved for the younger gals.

When my niece was married in Erie PA a few years ago they had a full sit down meal and then the cookie table. Her brother who was married in Pittsburgh did not have the cookie table. This was new to me, hadn't seen it before. I know my sil, mil and aunts on both sides spent weeks baking and freezing cookies for it.

Also the idea of taking food home with you is really strange to us, what you don't eat you just leave, it would be so much better for it to be taken home and shared out.

I live in CT, grew up in CA, have relatives in SD and ND (but haven't gone to weddings there). This is the first I've ever heard of a cookie table - but I think it's a wonderful idea. I wouldn't be surprised if they do it in the Dakotas, because all my relatives and friends there are superb cookie makers!
