When you are planning a sci-fi wedding theme, it is important to ensure you apply your theme to all aspects of your wedding, including the wedding dress, bridesmaid’s dresses, groom’s tux, groomsmen’s tuxes, flowers, and more for your ceremony. Your reception should also continue your theme, ensuring the venue is decorated for your reception. Most importantly, don’t overlook these sci-fi food ideas for wedding food you can serve at your reception. 

Extraterrestrial Appetizers: Introducing Otherworldly Small Bites

To kick off your sci-fi wedding menu, you will want several extraterrestrial appetizers for your guests to enjoy while you get your wedding pictures. You have a wide range of otherworldly small bites, such as:

  • Martian fingers: Transform your classic mozzarella sticks into maritan fingers, complete with a side of Martian blood marinara sauce.
  • Starry crostini bites: Cut out baguettes in the shape of stars, toast them, and top them with your favorite toppings. 
  • Moon cheese pizza bites: Make mini cheese pizzas covered in mozzarella cheese. You can add mini pepperonis for moon craters. 
  • Alien deviled eggs: Add some green food coloring to the egg yolk filling. You can add small cucumber slices for ears and pistachios cut in half for eyes. 
  • Intergalactic sushi rolls: Wrap the rolls in purple seaweed, fill the insides with your favorite ingredients, and make them look like different elements from the solar system. 

Cosmic Cocktails: Crafting Interstellar Drinks for Your Wedding

In addition to your traditional champagne toast, you should offer some cosmic cocktails as part of your reception bar service. Some popular options are:

  • Galactic margaritas: Offer margaritas in a wide array of colors, including blue, red, yellow, and green, which reflect different colors found in the solar system. 
  • Stardust spritzers: Add edible gold or silver leaf or dust to spritzers for a glittery, starry effect.
  • Solar flares: Layer different colored sangria in red, orange, and yellow hues to create a solar flare-like effect. 
  • Cosmic cosmos: Offer a variety of different cosmos in various colors that reflect your sci-fi theme. 
  • Cotton candy cocoons: For fans of Killer Klowns from Outer Space, a non-alcoholic drink option is to serve fruit smoothies and wrap the glass in cotton candy cocoons with a straw sticking out the side. 

Alien Entrees: Main Course Delights Inspired by Distant Galaxies

When it comes to your wedding reception main course, you can continue your sci-fi theme by offering alien-inspired entrees, including: 

  • Meteorite meatballs: Spaghetti and meatballs topped with moon dust cheese and nebula red sauce. 
  • Alien gnocchi: Die gnocchi dough green before cooking and shape it into small alien heads. 
  • Asteroid beef medallions: Serve beef medallion asteroids with moon cheese, mashed potatoes, and an alien blood reduction.  
  • Saturn rings seafood platter: Arrange various types of seafood in the shape of Saturn’s rings.
  • Galaxy burgers: Burgers featuring moon cheese, Saturn rings (onion rings), and other toppings you can put a galactic twist on. 

Intergalactic Desserts: Sweet Endings With a Sci-Fi Twist

After your wedding reception dinner, you can choose to offer a selection of intergalactic desserts or an otherworldly wedding cake. If you choose a wedding cake, consider putting a galaxy-themed mirror glaze on it, along with splatters of constellations in white. Other dessert ideas with a sci-fi twist could include:

  • Alien cupcakes: Decorate cupcakes with alien-green frosting and add candy eyeballs or other finishing touches.
  • Milky Way ice cream parfaits: Layer vanilla ice cream with crumbed-up chocolate chip cookies and swirls of hot caramel, topped with whipped cream and a cherry.
  • Sunburst pavlovas: Serve mini pavlovas with vibrant colored fruits, such as mangos, pineapple, and papaya, cut into various shapes, like stars or circles for planets. 
  • Meteorite mousse: Crush up Oreo cookies and layer them between your favorite mousse. Sprinkle with Pop Rocks candy before serving. 

Nebula Nibbles: Snack Stations for Cosmic Grazing

As you hit the dance floor, you may want to set up a snack station for cosmic grazing for your guests to enjoy. Some possible snacking options could include:

  • Chewy toasts: For Star Wars fans, use oval-shaped bread, toast it, and spread it with smooth peanut butter. Use chocolate frosting to pipe the eyes, mouth, and bandolier. Then finish with cut mini marshmallows.  
  • Lightsabers: Dip pretzel rods in red, blue, or green-colored white chocolate. 
  • Cosmic apple slices: Dip apple slices in red-colored caramel or candy-apple coating and sprinkle with edible glitter. 
  • Milky Way charcuterie board: Arrange meats, cheeses, crackers, fruits, veggies, and other items into the shape of the Milky Way.
  • Stardust nuts: Toss roasted nuts in edible gold and silver dust or use honey-roasted mixed nuts and serve in UFO-shaped bowls. 

Movie-Inspired Menu: Sci-Fi Classics Reimagined for Your Wedding Feast

When creating your wedding feast, use your sci-fi theme to help you name the items on your menu. For example, if you are having a Star Wars-themed wedding, use various characters, locations, foods, and drinks found in the series to curate and name the items on your menu. For example, instead of alien deviled eggs, you could name these Yoda deviled eggs.
