These DIY Popcorn Paper Cones are perfectly sized for grab-and-go snacks at any special event. Great for wedding receptions and bridal showers, simply fill them with wedding mints, mixed nuts, candy buffet sweets or popcorn, like we did with ours. Say “I do” to displaying these fun snack containers in wicker baskets or small wooden boxes to make them easy for guests to grab.  Check out how we displayed ours below.
