Candy Buffet?

I was going to do just my wedding colors, but it seems to cost more ordering bulk in one color.

I didn't have a theme to my candy buffet. I just bought candy I love and know other people love. It was a big hit. I think people don't really care how it looks as long as they see their favorite candy.

Im having a beach themed one. Were having swedish fish, salt water taffy... and thats all I got so far for beach candy...any ideas? Im throwing sour patch kids in bc those are my fave.

I'm doing a candy buffet! also a christmas themed wedding!! i was going to go with a professional, thinking they could get the stuff wholesale and cheaper.. but it was cheaper - by a lot to go to a bulk store! i bought some valentine chocolate heart things 'cause they match my colors (eggplant & wine)!

i'll buy the rest closer to the day! (I'm worried about wrappers all over the floor ) but I'm getting macroons, rosebuds, slow pokes, broken oh henry bar things, and other chocolates like that....

It adds up when you consider the jars, decorations and containers. but i think it's still cheaper to DIY this one!

Will it be outdoors??? if so be mindful of candy that will melt...how about gold fish crackers?? not candy I know, but who says it has to be all candy? how about tropical flavored jelly beans? you can get your colors....

Our venue was built in the mid-19th century and is decorated accordingly, so I want to do a buffet with old West penny candy--salt water taffy (one of my favorites anyway), rock candy, and other such things.

We are doing a candy buffet too. We are doing it in our colors - pink, orange, & yello with some white candy mixed in. It is one of the things I am most excited about. I have been pricing candy - gumballs, foil wrapped chocolates, rock candy, sour ribbons, white yogurt pretzels, swirl pops and swirl sticks. It is looking like the candy will cost us between $300 & $400.

We are putting it on a large table with our cake and cupcakes to round out the sweets table. Because we are doing cupcakes (also in our colors) we are just doing a small two tiered cake in the center of the table for us to cut.

I love the christmas theme buffet....but I am bias because I am absolutely in love with Christmas and would celebrate it all year long if I could!

We are having a "Queen of Hearts" Alice in Wonderland type theme with Red and Black as our colors, I am planning to get heart candies this year and freeze the red foiled covered ones and eat the pinks hehehe. I have frozen chocolate before and it lasts forever We are also going to have some jelly beans and other things as well....I'm thinking of doing more of a desert buffet instead of just candy. I tested making red whoopie pies this weekend and they turned out great. (for those wondering a whoopie pie is a northern cake type thing, they are kind of like oreo cakesters but better lol)

I have been going back and forth on whether to have a candy buffet. And then... I saw that this week, Brides Rally is offering a $350 deal on candy buffet. Totally thinking of getting it..

Let me know what you think:

Our 'accent color' is rainbow so we will be doing all rainbow candies.

I thought about doing this too but then wasn't sure. If I do, I might wind up using mostly Mexican candy in order to spice up the party. Hopefully it will cost less too.

There are a lot of kids in my family so I plan on doing the candy buffet!! No many candies are aqua and coral so so I'm just going to go with like the colors of the rainbow

Jacque- I figured that out lol since we are using the same colors.... thats why im doing the beach themed....lisa l. Jellybeans are in and I like the idea of goldfish crackers

We're doing a candy buffet with ALL of our favorite candies. We're buying all of the jars (thank you, Michael's coupons!) and candy (through candywarehouse.com) and the people at the venue are going to set it up and monitor it for us. It will be all crazy colored, but it will all be wrapped, so people can grab with their hands and will up their favor bags with their own choices.

I've looked at pictures online and so many look sparse and cheap. I want people to truly feel like a kid in a candy store, with abundant candy and options. We're going to have 27 containers and at least 1.5 pounds of candy per guest. All of the leftovers (if there are any) will be donated to the shelter where I volunteer as a waitress (in their homeless cafe), along with our flowers, so I know it won't go to waste.

We're having an adults-only reception, but I am sure that our guests will still act like it's Halloween and stuff their sacks full!

Everyone has such wonderful ideas....I just love it!!! I'm so excited about my candy buffet. I have spent a lot of time and money on it...I think I have spent more time planning it, then the whole wedding..lol

I'm sure everyone is going to have a great success with theirs....candy Rocks!!!!

Yep def doing one!!! I love the idea. That's our favors so it's less work for us, fun for the guests, and they don't get just one boring type of candy. Plus they're beautiful!
