June 30th, 2009    Subscribe To Our Feed

If you’ve been knee-deep in wedding planning, chances are you’ve heard of the “candy buffet” or “candy bar” wherein a table-long array of the sweetest and colorful candy is displayed for your guests to dig in.  The wedding candy buffet first made its appearance at weddings only a relatively short time ago, but it quickly gained popularity.  Wedding candy buffets are genius, really, and super simple.  The following are a few wedding candy buffet ideas.

First, decide on the type of candy you’d like to display in your wedding candy bar buffet.  You might be surprised to find this task to be quite harder than you think.  There is quite literally hundreds of various types of candy in all of shapes and colors.  Begin with your childhood favorites and then work your way up to your most recent faves.  Imagine sweet chocolates, chewy gummy bears, brightly colored gum balls, Jordan almonds, and even childhood lollipops gracing your wedding candy buffet!  But don’t go overboard, limit your choices to only about 10 of your favorite candy.

Next select the containers in which you will exhibit your sweet treats.  Clear glass jars are the vessels of choice.  Create a standout showcase with a mixture of narrow and wide glass jars to tall and short glass containers.  Indicate each jar’s contents with a decorative tent card displayed in front of the container.  Or simply write the name of the candy on a lovely label and affix to the front of the glass jar.  Place a candy scoop in front or inside the candy jar for your guests to easily grab their desired amount.

Lastly, choose a generously-sized yet portable container that your guests can use to load up with their goodies and take home.  Gourmet food paper bags personalized with your names and wedding date is the perfect idea.Or repurpose Chinese takeout boxes into an unforgettable take away candy container.  Glassine envelopes can be spruced up with personalized labels resulting in creative candy buffet packaging. 

By offering an “all-you-can-eat, make-your-own” experience, you’ll invite your guests to create their own wedding favors that they’ll be sure to enjoy!  The wedding candy buffet is the perfect accent to your wedding that will make a sweet and lasting impression! (AJG001)
