I'm from VA and live in AZ nad have not heard of a cookie table. BUT I love the idea!!! Can I send some cookies to the next bride!! LOL

I have grown up in Houston, TX, and never heard of a cookie table but love the idea! Wish I had known about it for my wedding. It is something I will definitely suggest to any future brides that I know!

I have not heard of this tradition before, but I think it is a marvelous idea.

TX and MN speaking up here... never heard of a cookie table at weddings... but mmm my hubby woudl LOVE that... cookies are his favorite!

Not something I had heard of before, but it sounds very nice. I lived for several years just south of Pittsburgh,my parents and sister still live there.

My daughter got married in Nashville in Sept, and there was a cookie table. The groom's mother made her son's favorite: peanut butter, and I made hearheart-shaped sugar cookies.

And, yes, there were little bags for guests to use to take home cookies. My daughter had a little poem attached to each bag, but I can't remember it.

my Bf's daughter is getting married in march andI have been requested to make old fashion tea cakes they will have a milk and cookie bar Groom does not like cake but requested a Huge chocolate chip cookie for Grooms "cake" I live in Memphis First time I have heard of this and we saw on Pinterest

I love this comment BMP I am also a Grandmaw wannabe.I only have one son (24) and he states he does not want kids (boohoo) I hope he will change his mind when he meets the right girl

yes there are chocolate fountains too! and I have recently seen several receptions where cupcakes replaced the tiered cakes. this is so funny to me. I just thought the cookie table was as common a practice as the cake.I guess I need to get out more! haha My little world is growing . . . keep em coming ladies; I am enjoying hearing of family and regional customs. Thanks to everyone for your input!
