Sweet Treat For New Beginnings!!!
The wedding cookie table is a cherished tradition that began during the great depression, when families who couldn't afford a large wedding cake shared homemade cookies instead.
Over time, it became a way for family and friends to contribute their favorite recipes and celebrate together.
Today, the cookie table is symbol of love, community, and family heritage. Giving guests a sweet treat and a lasting memory of the special day.
If you would like to bring a dozen of your favorite cookies please let Melissa know.
Thank you in advance!!
