Mints and Nuts?

So at our wedding we are having our wedding cake, sheet cakes, cake balls, and I'm surprising my fiance with a grooms cake. Do we NEED to have mints and nuts at our wedding? I really don't feel like we need to but wasn't sure if that's something that you should have or not

    Up to you, it's not necessary. I don't think we will.

    We are going to have personalized mint flavored m&m's and mixed nuts at each of the tables and on the wedding cake table. But as others have said, it is all in what you want. Smile

    I've never even heard of having mints and nuts at a wedding. Maybe it's a regional thing? IDK. Sounds like you have plenty of delicious desserts to snack on without them!

    I was curious too.  Do most weddings in your area have mints and nuts?  I've never been to one with those. 

    How interesting. 

    And, no, you definitely don't have to.

    I've only seen mints and nuts at cake and punch receptions.

    I've been wondering if I should have mints and nuts at my wedding also. I was thinking about doing oriental mix instead.  I have always assumed that mints and nuts are served at weddings lol.  I wonder where I got that idea from?  Who knows. I'm from Oregon.  

    I think it is fine not to serve them. Do what you want!
