15. Macaroons

While you could try to bake these yourself, macaroons are actually quite challenging to get right and very time consuming. We suggest purchasing macaroons from the local baker for the best quality treats, or you can find macaroons at the grocery store if you and your guests are not picky.

16. Cupcakes

You can definitely bake cupcakes yourself if you enjoy doing so! It would help your treats match your vintage theme if you had white, pink, light teal, or other vintage colors. There is also always the option of purchasing cupcakes from the local baker or grocery store.

17. Vintage Candies

These can be found at local candy shops or online. Choose candies that have vintage vibes, like pastel colored marshmallows.

18. A variety of teas

I suggest offering a couple different teas for your guests, like green tea, earl grey, chamomile, and a few fruit teas. The best quality teas are loose tea instead of individually packaged.
