All the women in my family were stockpiling butter, sugar, flour and honey for WEEKS before the wedding! Everyone went home laden with pastries.

Growing up in New York, we used to see variations on the cookie table called a "Viennese Table." On those, you usually had an assortment of cakes, cookies, and other pastries like eclairs and cannolis. Talk about a sugar high.

Anyway, I love the idea of cookie/dessert/what-have-you tables! The more sweets, the better I say!

NOTE TO SELF: Have Greeklaw girl call in favors of her greek relatives to help her make massive amounts of baklava to bring to San Francisco with her in Sept......
