Question

What IS a Pittsburgh Cookie Table?

Answer

A Pittsburgh cookie table is a wedding tradition where a large table with different cookies is presented to guests at the wedding reception. Cookies are generally prepared by family members in advance of the reception, and take-home boxes are provided so guests can bring an assortment home. You as guests are NOT REQUIRED to bring cookies, and homemade or store bought are fine. Please drop off any cookies at our house at 2512 Creekedge Drive, Pittsburgh, PA, 15235 between October 9th-10th, and we’ll take care of plating them and bringing them to the zoo. PLEASE MAKE NOTE OF ANY ALLERGENS IN YOUR COOKIES.
