Reception Snacks

Well what's your dinner? I feel like any snack like that will be fine as long as they eat a filling dinner.

We're doing Italian (my favorite!). I would like to hope so @Faith but I worry and I like the idea of 2 options.

I've heard of people doing fast food (Shake Shack and In N Out) or pizza.

We are doing chicken Parmesan sliders and waffle wedges with maple syrup as our late night snacks. One sweet, one savory.

FH would go crazy for pizza but I kinda want something simple. :/ Blah, this is hard, lol.

Any nut allergies? If not, a trail mix bar would be fun and easy and incorporate that salty/sweet taste. It could have minipretzels, different types of nuts, m&ms, chocolate chips, rice squares and basically whatever else you want. Have cute bags for guests to make them in?

Pizza is pretty simple.

I like the sliders idea! That sounds yummy.

I really wanted to do a grilled cheese food truck for a late night snack, but FH wasn't about it.

I guess I see pizza as a meal food? I was more just thinking like a simple yummy snack. Popcorn would have been perfect if FH liked it.

I went to a wedding that had popcorn stations, all different types of popcorn. And then another one that had a buffet of chicken fingers, French fries, mini sliders, etc

@Rachel that's a great idea! Trail mix is so yummy!!

@Kallie bummer! I think that would be yummy but I think I would need my caterer to keep it all warm and I feel like that would be more pricey. If I have extra budget I think I will look into warm snacks with the caterer but I'm hoping for something not hot just in case there's no extra budget.

If you like mexican ...You can rent a nacho machine just like a popcorn machine...the thing where it warms the cheese at the top and the chips inside, you could put out salsas and guacamole sour cream etc and have those little paper baskets to serve them in. I was going to do that but we will have a taco bar for a dinner station so too redundant.

We are having pizza as well for a late night snack.

We had mini pulled pork sliders, sliders and french fries. People were hungry after dancing for 2 hours.

@Holly that's awesome! I'll have to see where I can rent one from around here and how much!

Does your venue and/or caterer have any options? Our venue has a variety of late night snack options of things like, mini deep dish pizzas, mini sliders, mini italian beefs, french fry cones, quesadillas or tacos, mini milkshakes, donuts, etc. FH and I are leaning towards doing one savory and one sweet (chocolate dipped cheesecake pops).

We're doing rum soaked flaming donuts. Why pick between alcohol or sweets when you can have them both?

Following for ideas....What time are most of you planning to serve this in relation to your dinner and end times?
