Boba tea is something that’s recently been on the rise. And if you know a lot of your guests love grabbing any opportunity to have this refreshing drink, have a dedicated boba stall they can enjoy. This especially fits the bill for a colorful summertime wedding. And if you’re having a wedding during the cooler seasons or simply love camping, a smores bar with marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate is a complete no-brainer. This is one nostalgic menu option that will be remembered long after the party buzz comes down.
