Late night parties are fun for everyone! Wedding receptions can go on until late in the evening, and it can definitely be exhausting for both you and your guests.

So, it’s a great idea to prepare late night wedding snack options so your guests can get back on their feet on the dance floor.

Late night snacks are something your guests will love, especially when they start getting tired and hungry again (since wedding food is served earlier in the evening, it can be easy to become hungry again later).

That’s why I’m sharing a roundup of sweet and savory late night wedding snacks that can give you and your wedding guests an extra boost of energy to dance the night away.

26 Best Late Night Wedding Snacks

French Fries

Who doesn’t love french fries? If you serve them with a dipping sauce, so your guests can dip a french fry in a delicious sauce, it will probably be the favorite late night wedding snack option for all of your guests. You can serve the dipping sauce in a shot glass so each guest can take one.

Ice Cream Sandwiches

When it comes to sweet late night snacks, ice cream sandwiches are the best thing you can serve to your guests! Everyone loves them, they’re super delicious, and they’ll want something refreshing after a whole day of dancing.

Soft Pretzel

Another great and simple snack you can serve are soft pretzels.

Is there a more popular snack than popcorn? I don’t think so. For a sweet and savory option, you can have a popcorn bar, where you’ll serve both savory popcorn, with salt and butter, and sweet popcorn, with caramel and chocolate.

This is one of the best wedding snacks you can serve in the evening.

Donuts

I don’t think I need to explain why donuts are a great choice - it’s pretty clear. Since it’s your wedding, you can serve fancy donuts, or you can go with more simple ones - there are tons of options. Glazed donuts, mini donuts, chocolate filled donuts, fruit donuts, etc. - choose some options, and serve them to your guests that will adore you when they see them!
