    It kind of depends on your tastes and your guests, whether they're flying, etc.  However, here are some thoughts...

    Gourmet chocolates / truffles
    Different flavor gourmet tea leaves / satchels
    Coffee bean varieties
    Dessert bar
    Home fragrance bar - droppers with scents so you can create your own

    I love it Tanq!

    Whatever you choose, it should reflect the vibe of your event. I love the hot chocolate bar idea for something a bit more elegant. You could do lots of different flavour syrups, homemade marshmallows, etc. The popcorn sounds fun, but messy, so that sounds a bit more casual to me.

    Cookies & milk bar? A chocolate bar that focuses on great quality chocolate with beans from different parts of the world (think terrior). Late night donut bar?

    We are doing a sweet and salty bar. My MOH has the cutest little saying, so we are going to quote her in a frame and put it on the bar. We're "dedicating" it to her :-)
