Ice Cream Ideas

Welcome to Debt Free Wedding . . . the blog written by a father of the bride and author of more than twenty-five books, including Your Beautiful Wedding on Any Budget and Before You Say "I Do".  Visit often.  Save $$$.


A couple of weeks ago my ice cream bar blog post generated a lot of traffic, so I thought I'd offer a few other ice cream suggestions.  Great ideas for a hot summer wedding, an outdoor reception, or even a post-rehearsal dinner dessert.  Here's two others to try!  Low cost, all . . . .

1. Rent a soft-serve ice cream server.  Some party stores carry these and the costs are manageable . . . especially if you have a large guest list.  Soft serve ice cream is very inexpensive, and it's a crowd favorite.  Stick with vanilla and chocolate (and maybe a swirl) and you can't go wrong . . . and not with the checkbook either.

2. Find out if there is an ice cream vending truck in your area (check online and yellow pages) and ask the vendor to drive by your wedding reception area.  The ice cream truck is always a welcome sight with children, and if you arrange the time and place, you essentially are bringing in your own dessert . . . with people picking up their own tabs.  Not fancy . . . but certainly unique.

Everyone screams for ice cream . . . and on a hot day, you've made the most popular choice.
