S’mores are usually thought of as a summer food, but I love them as a cute and nostalgic addition to winter events too! Just think about how cozy it would be to line up a row of candles or light up a little fire pit and let your guests mingle while toasting gourmet marshmallows! These s’mores ideas are so versatile, you can use them at anything from a rustic barn wedding to a sassy cocktail party.
This simple, understated s’mores bar is surprisingly elegant! All you need is a clean color palette and the three basic ingredients–graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows–to create a sweet dessert set up. The letterpressed sign adds the perfect finishing touch. Picture via Laura Jane Photography.
Take things up a notch with an elaborate spread full of customization options. This table includes a variety of chocolates, flavored marshmallows, candy, and all kinds of yummy things to use instead of graham crackers, like cookies and Nilla wafers. I’m sure any guest would be thrilled to come upon this fun station! Picture via Antonis Achilleos for Amy Atlas.
One of the most popular ways to incorporate s’mores into events is favors. They make an easy, budget-friendly DIY, and it’s always nice to send guests home with a little midnight snack! I love these two takes on s’mores favors–the first is cute and cheery with the addition of colorful ribbon, and the second is a little more elegant with individual packages and personalized tags.

This picture is from a summery s’mores-themed engagement shoot, but I love the idea of the banner in particular. You can use a banner like this one above your s’mores bar or favor display, or even bring the phrase into your event stationery. “S’more Love” sounds like a pretty cute theme for an engagement party, don’t you think?
