There is no doubt that DIY food stations have become a hugely popular choice for special occasions around the globe. I must say I’m in love with this idea – to the point that if I’d thought of it 10 years ago our wedding would have most likely featured some of the ideas below. Why are the so popular? I think it comes down to three things: 1) They allow simple favourites that are generally easy to make and inexpensive, to be served at even the fanciest of occasions. 2) The way they are presented intrigues people, it doesn’t matter who you are. 3) It’s food that entertains, giving guests a shared experience as well as a full belly.
So without further ado here are 5 Creative DIY Food Stations that have caught my attention.
1. The Popcorn Bar
It is all in the presentation.

3. S’mores Bar
S’mores make a tasty dessert or even a fancy supper. I can just imagine serving one up to guests at a summer BBQ, once the sun has gone down and the cool night air moves in.

4. Make your Own Burger Bar
What a great way to dress up a summer BBQ. A ‘Make Your Own Burger Bar’ could be ideal for any occasion be it dinner with friends, Christmas dinner or a backyard wedding.
