Guests could also help themselves to a bowl of cereal. Set up a station with apothecary or mason jars filled with your favorite childhood cereals. Just add milk and it’ll be a hit with all ages.

To add a savory twist, you could serve your guests chicken and waffle sliders. They’ll love this ultimate comfort food after a long night celebrating.
Delectable Desserts
At this point, hours have passed since you cut your wedding cake. So a late-night dessert will provide guests with an extra sugar rush.
