You know what I&#8217;m talking about&#8230; the plethora of this, that and the other &#8220;bar&#8221; on Pinterest. They&#8217;re everywhere screaming at you to have one at your wedding. And, well, you should! Bars beyond cocktails are one of the things your guest will love the most. They go beyond the traditional, yet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.perfectweddingguide.com\/wedding-vendors\/wedding-cakes\/search\/albuquerque,%20new-mexico\/all\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">delicious wedding cake<\/a> (which you still need to have by the way). That is, unless you want to start a riot!<\/p>\n<p>Not to worry, bars have come such a long way since the days of boxed wine and Shirley Temples. In fact, the skies the limit when it comes to bars and the more creative the better! I recently had the pleasure of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.perfectweddingguide.com\/wedding-vendors\/wedding-guest-accommodations\/search\/albuquerque,%20new%20mexico\/all\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">attending a friend\u2019s wedding<\/a> and she had a mouthwatering popcorn bar with all kinds of different flavors I never knew existed, even green chile cheese! And to be quite honest, I don&#8217;t think I enjoyed popcorn more than I did that day.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from popcorn, however, there are so many options when it comes to bars. Like I said the skies the limit, so be creative! They&#8217;re just so much fun and certainly leave a lasting impression. Here&#8217;s a list of popular bar ideas to get your bar juices flowing: s\u2019mores, popcorn, candy, coffee, ice-cream, fruit, pie, donuts, <a href=\"https:\/\/pwgnm.wordpress.com\/2017\/05\/09\/reception-games-the-new-dance-off\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bake-off<\/a> (bar meets contest).
