Cocktail hour snacks for our wedding

As we were married at a camp, we went for a more casual "cocktail hour" for the time between the ceremony and dinner. We had Arnold Palmers (both alcoholic and non) for drinks, along with beer and lemonade. We also had peanuts in the shell, Cracker Jacks and snap peas for munching.
I made the little "snacktime" banner from scrapbook paper, bakers twine and markers, and attached it to a vintage basket. The adorable peanut bags we purchased from HeyYoYo
Snap peas are one of my favorite snacks, and luckily they were readily available at the local farmers market. Originally we wanted cherries, which would have looked so cute in the little bags, but would have been pricier and not local. We found tiny glassine bags and trimmed the opening with edging scissors for holding the peas.
We loved the idea of people being able to toss their shells on the floor, and instructed them to do so. It was easy clean up, and contributed to the casual feel of the wedding. I loved incorporating our favorite snacks into our wedding in an inexpensive and fun way.
