A coffee and hot chocolate bar is a warm and cozy addition to your winter wedding reception! Here is what you will need..
- A coffee maker. One option is a brewer that makes a full pot of coffee or serving regular coffee. You might need two if you want options of hot chocolate and hot tea so you can fill one with just water. This is probably the most inexpensive route to take. However, if you want more custom options, you can use a single serve brewer with a wide variety of options including flavored and regular coffee, tea, and hot chocolate pods.
- Coffee. Purchase a coffee you love if you are using a single serve brewer, and consider purchasing flavored syrups to spice it up! You can also buy tea bags and hot chocolate packages as options. You can also consider using an insulated carafe to make more coffee ahead. If you are using a single serve brewer, select a variety of pods, from different types of regular coffee, decaf coffee, tea and hot chocolate. Find a cute way to display your coffee in a basket or cute containers
- Creamer. You may choose to use half and half, milk, or single serve creamers.
- Sugar and no-calorie sweetener.
- Spoons or stir sticks. Have enough available for each guest to have their own.
- Mugs, coffee cups, paper cups with sleeve, or Styrofoam cups. Figure out what fits your style and budget.
