I've been to many weddings where there were cookie tables/trays. You're right, the cookies are usually made by the families. It seems they show up at the more traditional weddings, not the new event-type. personably i prefer a cookie table to some of the god-awful grooms cakes that seem to be popular-most i've seen have been ugly!

I'm from an Italian family. We always have a cake and there's ALWAYS a tray of cookies brought to each table. Sometimes even little pastries as well. For many years, there has been the custom of a "Viennese" table set up with an array of desserts. Sometimes an enormous display, sometimes not so big. Depends on how much money the bride wants to spend and also depends on the catering hall. There is still always the cake. I think the idea of a cookie table with goodies made by family is a wonderful custom and I would venture to say it's local.

I've been to weddings here where there is a sweet table (everything from Eclairs to cannolli's) here in the Chicago area...last summer my niece had a candy table with all the different candies in clear glass jars...
But no cookie table...sounds great to me!
