The wedding reception candy bar is a thing of the past. The make-your-own s’mores station has been played out. Mini cupcakes? So 2009.
So what hidden menu surprises are brides and grooms offering their guests these days?
 The answer, oddly enough, is a late-night snack.
You might think offering wedding guests a late-night snack after serving them cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, a sit-down meal and a slice of fancy cake is excessive. But wedding experts say it makes sense when you think about it not as an extra course, but as the right complement to a moment in time. After all, you’re drinking, you’re dancing, it’s been awhile since dinner. Everyone loves to have a little something extra at that time.
Some of the tastiest options on the table are sweet, like cookies served with a shot glass of milk guests can spike with Kahlua. Others are savory, like a paper cone of Cajun fries drizzled with ranch dressing.
Katie Rosenberry was sold on the idea before her big day.

When less is more
 Wedding receptions just aren’t what they used to be. While you may occasionally encounter traditional sit-down or buffet-style dinners, many caterers are offering the option of small plates and mini samples instead.
More often than not, the alluring landscape of the Lowcountry sets the stage for outdoor a airs, where guests would rather walk around and mingle than be stuck behind a table. It makes sense, then, that couples are planning menus that allow guests to pick and choose from a multitude of bite-size morsels.
