Is this something your venue suggested that you do? I am doing Venetian hour, but never thought of doing this....I wonder if my venue would allow it...

Re: venetian to go boxes

yes - my venue sends all the leftover dessert home with us if the guests don't take it so it was up to us if we wanted to do the takeout boxes. you can always call up and see what their policy is - you're paying for the food, so you should be allowed to do what you want with it!

Someone recommended that I not put the boxes out until the majority of the guests have gotten their desserts. I was told that some guests may take too much and there wouldn't be enough for the other guests who haven't gotten dessert.

What do you ladies think about that? Do halls replenish the viennese hour like they do with the cocktail hour?

I am having one as well, what italian family doesn't lol but never knew anyone did that. that makes sense though. why waste it ? i agree with putting the boxes out after though.

i put labels on the boxes. it was really last min and i found it online.

Love is delicious
Your present was sweet
So please take a box
And take home some treats

Our RH set up the boxes throughout the room during VH. Guests absolutely loved it.

Oh and we got our boxes online. Check out my review for pics
