Popcorn is not just for movies anymore! Whether you're hosting a party, shower, game night, or even a wedding reception, a Popcorn Bar is a fun, interactive addition to any gathering. And the best part? It's EASY to put together.
PREPARE POPCORN: If you’re air-popping your own popcorn, do this first. Ensure it’s freshly popped and ready before guests arrive. Add popcorn(s) to bowls, separating by flavor.
ORGANIZE TOPPINGS: Separate toppings by type: savory, sweet, and healthy. Use clear bowls or jars to display them. This way, guests can see all their options easily.
SET UP: Place the popcorn in the largest bowl(s) in the center. Surround the popcorn with bowls of toppings, grouping them by type. Place the cups or cones at the start, so guests can grab one, fill it with popcorn, and then move through the toppings.
OPTIONAL LABELS: Label each ingredient, especially potential allergens like nuts. You can use small chalkboard signs, printed tags, or sticky notes.
ENJOY: Encourage guests to mix and match, creating their unique popcorn blends!
