Spooky season is here, and that means it’s time to add an element of fun to your events. These monster donuts are the perfect addition if you’re having a Halloween-themed wedding or shower. They’re easy to make, too!
When to Serve Halloween Donuts
There are many occasions where you can serve these cuties. Here are a few suggestions, but feel free to be creative and branch out on your own.
- Make them — or have your caterer make them — to serve instead of cake at your wedding.
- Use them as a wedding favor, and send your guests off with a treat.
- If you’re getting married around Halloween, use them for a spooky-themed shower.
- Serve them on your wedding day as you and your attendants are getting ready.
- Place them on a post-wedding day brunch buffet.
- Of course, you don’t have to use them at your wedding at all. You can host a fun costume party for an overnight bachelorette party and serve them the next morning.
- They can also be made for a quirky bridal shower.
