Late night snacks for your wedding day is a great way to really ensure that your guests have a great time at your wedding. One of the best things about a late night snack is that your family and friends that are partying and drinking have something to “soak up” the alcohol and keep them more sober through the night. It also usually is some great drunk food that everyone will be over the moon to have. Here are some of the most common and the best options for your late night snack to consider adding to your wedding day.

Popcorn

Popcorn is a huge hit if you break out the flavored Garrett’s with some scoops and bags. It really is something that brings in the Chicago feeling and also is a crowd pleaser for those that are looking for a little snack after hitting the dance floor and the bar for the night of your wedding.

2. Sliders/Burgers with Fries

Burgers and fries are also really popular for a late night snack. I have seen a few times to have “Cheeseburgers in Paradise” passed with McDonald’s or other popular fast food places with a heated fry bar. This is a huge crowd pleaser! I have also seen some photos with a cheese fountain for dipping the fries, and I have to say I’m obsessed with that idea.

3. Hotdogs

Chicago-style hotdogs are a must for any Chicago wedding, and having a little hotdog stand is a super cute place to take some last reception pictures together before your photographer heads out for the night. You can have the condiments on the hotdog cart and really have your guests have a good time!

4. Donuts

If you’re thinking donuts, you definitely can do some Krispy Kreme or other glazed donuts for your guests to get hyped up for the rest of the night! The donuts are typically heavier and with extra boosts of sugar, so this really helps wake up your guests and get them rejuvenated to party all night.

5. Pizza

Pizza is by far the most popular late night snack because your wedding guests LOVE it. You can have it delivered from any place or your caterer can likely set it out to look more formal. I highly recommend thinking of this option, because you really can’t go wrong with some pizza! This one also is a great place to take some cute reception photos too.

6. Tacos

I wouldn’t have expected tacos to be so popular, but people really do love a taco bar! If your venue allows for it, you can also do a taco truck and have even more fun photos ordering from the truck.

7. Pretzels

This one is not seen often, but the heavy dough and the salt are great to keeping your guests partying all night. Some caterers offer this with the stands so they can hang like they do at the pizza place!

8. Ice Cream

This last one is really for the people that have a massive sweet tooth like me. Having an ice cream bar requires a lot more logistically than the others to keep everything from melting, but adding your favorite toppings to ice cream would definitely be so cute for photos and so tasty!

I definitely recommend adding a late night snack if you’re planning on having some partying wedding guests all night. The late night snack is definitely helpful to keep your guests going all night and to keep them from getting wasted typically.
