Midnight Snacks—How to Keep the Party Going All Evening Long

A Sweet Surprise

It used to be that wedding-day catering started with cocktail hour hors d’oeuvres and ended with your reception dinner and cake-cutting. But late-night snacks have become a common offering in recent years. For most, this is a tactic to keep the party going all night long­—think: the wedding equivalent of a 2 a.m. Whataburger run. Whatever your preferred snacking vice may be, local caterers are pros at making passable, miniature versions. From tiny tacos to milkshake shooters, these tasty, bite-sized refreshments are a guaranteed way to make sure your monogrammed dance floor is properly whirled and twirled on.
