While my husband and I were in the midst of planning our wedding, we had some issues seeing eye-to-eye on what was acceptable food to be served at our reception. He wanted to make sure his guy friends we’re going to enjoy their options and wouldn’t be stuck munching on dainty finger sammies. One of his grand ideas was treating our guests to a hot dog eating contest. I kid you not…I can’t make this stuff up. I literally had to pick my mom’s jaw up off the ground when she first heard of his plan. So, after nicely refusing to serve up Oscar Mayer weiners, we compromised on serving late night McDonald’s double cheeseburgers…we had the catering staff pass them out and people went crazy! They still talk about it. So, in honor of all the grooms-to-be who are set on hot dog eating contests or lord knows what else, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite food items that the men on your guest list might enjoy. Let’s face it, if you treat the boys to some hearty food and good booze, everyone’s bound to have a good time.
Spaghetti and meatballs hors d’oeuvre. I’ll take two!
I would never have thought to serve meatloaf at a wedding but these meatloaf cupcakes with a mashed potato ‘frosting’ and a bite sized, bacon wrapped loaf sound pretty amazing.
Bite sized bacon cup baked beans. Get out of town.
Fried pickles and mini tacos with tequila shooters.
Oyster Shooters – the perfect Charleston treat
STATIONS
The guys will love these comfort food stations…and who wouldn’t. A potato and BBQ bar?! Heaven.

Was there every a more Southern beverage station than a Bourbon Bar? Um…no. I love this one designed by Calder Clark. What a fabulous way to involve your guests in creating and tasting their beverage of choice.
