More and more brides and grooms want their wedding receptions to be parties that carry on well into the wee hours of the morning. Whether you will be having a lounge area at your reception venue, or inviting a few close friends to a second location for late night festivities, you will want to have something to feed them. These are some tips on planning for late night wedding munchies.
At a lot of weddings, the younger guests will stay on well past the older relatives for a second phase of the reception. This is a less formal time, and if the bride has not yet, she will likely want to change into a second dress for this. Your traditional bridal gown and crystal wedding jewelry are perfect for the first dance and cake cutting pictures; once it is time to get down to some serious dancing, though, it is time to switch it up with a sexier version of a wedding dress and fabulous crystal jewelry like chandelier earrings. At this point, change up the music, as well: out with the Frank Sinatra and in with the d.j. spinning the latest hits.
For couples who have decided to have this type of wedding after-party, it will mean ...
... needing to plan for one more phase of food service. In addition to the usual cocktail hour and dinner fare, you should have some great late night snacks to offer your guests. The number of people that you should expect to feed will depend in part on the mixture of your wedding guests. It is safe to anticipate that less than half of your dinner guests will stick around for the late night fun, and sometimes the percentage is much lower than that. Normally, the people that stay will be the young adults and maybe a wild and crazy uncle or two.
As for the actual food, it should definitely be fun and casual little bites. Think about the type of food that you would get in a bar, or on your way home from a club at 2am - this is what should be on your menu. The trick is to present these very casual types of food in a way that still has some style and flair.
Often couples will bring in special vendors for the late night snacks. One bride that I knew hired the hot dog vendor that ran the cart she usually stopped by on the way home from a late night. He served hot dogs and fresh french fries in paper cones. It was a big hit with all of the guests, not to mention the bride (but boy was that mustard stain hard to get out of her wedding dress!).
Another great idea is to rent a popcorn cart and treat your guests to freshly popped corn. Make it more special by setting up a station with custom toppings. Your guests will love being able to jazz up their popcorn with toppings like seasoning salt, grated cheese, and even melted caramel or chocolate. Serve a selection of soft drinks like a really great local root beer in addition to alcohol; this is a good chance for your guests to wind down and sober up before making their way home.
One of the other most popular late night munchies to serve at a wedding is sliders. Everyone loves a great mini-cheeseburger at midnight. If you have a sweet tooth, think about tasty snacks like fresh warm donuts and s'mores. Other ideas include pizza, nachos, and chips and salsa.
