How about adding pumpkin pie or a pumpkin flavored coffee as a fall theme? Seems to be easier and cheaper that caramelized apples... Not sure why you want to spend money on after dessert food station. I have never seen that done in any of the roughly 6+ weddings I have attended... I don't know anyone who is still hungry after the food at the cocktail hour, sit down dinner and dessert...
I agree. The last wedding we went to had a lovely dinner, wedding cake for dessert and then a later evening snack table with cookies, cupcakes, jelly beans, coffee and tea. A dessert station and pretzels and Philly cheesesteak is excessive and unneeded, IMO.

And I assume appetizers during the cocktail hour? I am usually pretty full after sampling all the appetizers during the reception and then usually don't eat too much for dinner...
Thanks for all the help. Will veto the caramel apples and think about eliminating some desserts. I still want the late night station. I am making it more a to go station so people can grab on the way out. Thanks !!
We are having a fall themed wedding so was thinking of maybe incorporating caramel apples as either a favor or dessert. We are having a ton of food so I think I will need to remove something in order to have them. On our dessert station we are having wedding cake, seasonal macarons, pumpkin pie jars, chocolate covered strawberries and chocolate bouchons. We are also having a late night philly themed station of mini cheesesteaks and soft pretzels. The late night station is about an hr after dessert. Should I replace something in the dessert station with wrapped individual caramel apples and put in a basket? IF so, what do you think is replaceable? Or should I serve as a favor before they leave in baskets and remove the cheesesteak station? We are also having a lot of food at cocktail hour and a sit down dinner. Any suggestions are appreciated!
I think caramel apples are the last thing to serve at a wedding. People have on their nicest clothes, and all I can think about is what a mess.
Strawberries seem an odd choice for Fall too....those seem more Summer.
