In reading online chat boards such as the Knot and Wedding Channel, most people seem to have no clue of a what a dessert reception consists of and most have never seen one. Where I was raised (but not getting married), people would look at you weird if you did anything but a dessert reception. And even 15-20 yrs ago and prior, that was all that alot of people did. Even turn of the century weddings (in movies and real life) never had a full dinner. Also, those same folks suggest serving full appetizer spreads in addition to dessert, but fail to realize that once you start adding anything beyond cheese and crackers, it is no longer just desserts so you can't call it a dessert reception on the invite.
Are they really that rare or do people just have a certain mindset that a reception must be done one way and anything that strays from that one way is bizarre and wrong? Even though those same people would have no difficulty planning a dessert party for any other type of event?
