Anyone doing late night snacks?

I love the idea of late night snacks for guests at the reception.  My venue offers chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks, and mini pizzas.  The problem is that they costs $2.25 ea (that's an expensive mozz stick!) and the venue does not allow outside food on the property.

Is anyone providing a snack or treat for guests towards the end of the reception?  If so, what are you choosing and how much will it cost?  TIA!

Our wedding is at a hotel, so we're heading upstairs to the hotel bar after the reception is over.  There, we'll have trays of appetizers brought out.  They won't be passed, and since it's restaurant food, not catering food, it's not too expensive.  I think for 15 trays of appetziers it's around $130.

If it's costing you that much, I would definitley skip it.  I've been to many weddings and I usually cannot eat ANYTHING for 3-4 hours after the wedding is over because I've stuffed myself so full.  I doubt your guests will miss it at all.

i don't think anyone will miss it, and that is so expensive. we are having them, but it helps that it is all included...we are having grilled cheese sandwiches and peanut butter and nutella sandwiches...

We had them, though I don't recall the cost.  We had chocolate covered strawberries, whoopie pies, cannolis and petit fours.  People loved it, but if you think it is too expensive, skip it.

We had them and they were a big hit.  We had sliders and french fries in little cones.  I don't know the cost as they were part of our overall custom menu but I'm guessing it added around $5/pp at least.

Yup! We had a bonfire afterparty so we had smores, hot dogs (Mike's favorite food) and a bunch of yummy late night melts and sandwiches.

We had mini sliders and mini mac-n-cheese in little crocks. We also had fries with different dipping sauces and onion rings. Honestly, all of the guests were stuffed even after dancing for several hours, so a lot of it didn't get eaten (even though we ordered  for less than half our guests knowing that most wouldn't eat it).

I don't know how much they were per person since all of the food costs rolled into our F&B minimum.
