March 14 is National Pi Day! To celebrate the mathematical constant π, we've pulled together some of our favorite ways to include pie in your wedding.
1. One Pie per Table
It’s often easier — and less expensive — to buy several small organic pies than one large wedding cake. A fun cake alternative is to put a miniature (six-to-twelve person) wedding pie on every table. Your guests can serve themselves instead of waiting around to be served individually from a four-tiered confection.

2. Mini Pies
Pass around platters of miniature-sized desserts in different flavors with ornamental cut-outs.

3. Pie Pops
We've seen poppers of every kind, but our favorite incarnation is filled with fruit and crimped on the sides (just like Grandma used to make them). Pull these out during the late dance hours to give guests a much-needed sugar boost.

4. Pie Bites
Or, eliminate the popsicle sticks completely and serve these ooey-gooey pie bites (we won't tell if you dunk them in your cappucino).

5. Pie in a Jar
Punch up your mason jar presentation — this long-running trend shows no sign of slowing down — with deliciously flaky shapes.

6. Whoopie Pies
No pie dessert table is complete without the whoopie variety! Originally an Amish tradition, historians say that wives used to bake these "hucklebucks" for their husbands and put them in their lunch boxes. When it was time for lunch and the lucky guys discovered the packed treat, legend has it that they'd shout, "Whoopie!"

7. Savory Pies
Tomato pies are a mainstay of Southern cooking! Nothing says "summer" like fresh red tomatoes bursting with flavor and baked with decadent cheese and herbs.

8. Starry Pie
Engraved plates and a starry topping make for a pie that's (almost) too pretty to eat.

9. Pie Toppers
Let's face it: Not everyone loves pie as much as we do. Provide cookies, cakes, and other dessert options for those who don't care for the treat. These fondant toppers are a clever way to state which sweet still reigns supreme in your book.
