The Munchies

I want to talk about one of my favorite wedding trends - the late-night snack.

When we started the planning process, I hadn't really thought about a late-night snack. Hell, I don't think I even knew what one was at that point, aside from when you stumble to the fridge and eat everything in sight after coming home from a night out. Frankly, it is the least of my concerns at this point (Hello, hotel block! I need to book you!). However, our venue sent us their menus prior to our tasting with them, and I noticed a little  section on their Late-Night Snack options.


Umm, hello?! That sounds AWESOME. Who wouldn't want a late-night snack? I mean, you're dancing, working up an appetite, slightly tipsy (who's with me?!). Yummy snacks sound good, right?



People have done everything, from simple french-fry cones and sliders to hiring a Molly Moon's Ice-Cream or In-N-Out Burger truck (insanely awesome, by the way).


Milkshakes, rootbeer floats, chocolate chip cookies and milk. Tacos. Regular french fries, sweet potato fries. Onion rings. Popcorn. Cotton candy. S'mores. I could go on and on. Except I won't, because you get the idea, and I am making myself hungry. And now I want a milkshake (dang you, Lent!).


Although maybe people are too stuffed full of dinner and delicious cake at that point? Perhaps it is just an unnecessary expense, particularly if you have edible favors?

I'm honestly not sure. Mr. Candy Apple and I are still toying with the idea. I think ultimately it will come down to cost, as sad as that sounds. But, we're keeping our minds open!


What sorts of late-night snacks have you seen at weddings? Did you have one at your wedding? Do guests like this idea? Sweet or savory?
