So, I really want to have a cookie table, but my fiance really doesn't want to ask anyone to bake for it. We were going to order from a bakery. Well, my nephew, who is a very good baker, offered to make cookies. My fiance thinks that a "professional" bakery wouldn't want their cookies next to "unprofessional" cookies. I told him that as long as we pay the bakery, I really don't think they give a rat's behind whose cookies are next to theirs. Thoughts? Also, is it wrong to ask people to bake cookies, or wait for them to offer?
Re: Cookie table question
Go for it and have both! I do not think any real bakery is going to walk into your reception and go "OMG there is another person's cookies here too. What a shame I have to set my cookies next to that. What were these people thinking??? I mean my cookies are from a professional bakery and they have the audacity to bring in cookies from another bakery too or from a person's kitchen???"
Okay okay you get the point, but I was being sarcastic pretending the conversation for you. Congrats on the semi-wedding-diva man! My would have been like "so?"
We are not local (nor are our families), so we're having a bakery do ours. But we're buying some non-bakery cookies from our school, and I can tell you for a fact the bakery doesnt care. They drop the cookies off at the venue, and leave. If you are REALLY concerned about it, go pick up the cookies from the bakery yourself. Then put their trays next to your friends' trays.
