Recently, we have seen goodnight stations becoming more and more popular among weddings. A goodnight station is a table full of additional goodies to see guests off at the end of the night. Guests will definitely appreciate this gesture after an evening full of celebrating.

The wedding between Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale is credited for the beginning of this trend with their wedding in 2002, providing Krispy Kreme donuts for their guests as they departed from the reception. The best part about a goodnight station is that it can be used during any wedding no matter what time of the day or year.

Good Day Station / Spring and Summer Weddings
For celebrations that are during the day or during the hotter months, swap the hot beverages for cold ones. Drinks such as bottled water, soda, punch, or possibly fruit smoothies can bid your guests adieu. Iced treats can be a good way to cool off on a hot day, popsicles and ice cream sandwiches would be ideal, if it is possible to keep them cold.

If you are looking for a way to make your wedding stand out a goodnight station is perfect for you!
