how early can i do my candy favors....

I would say maybe a week or so. or if your decorating your reception hall u could assign a couple ppl to do that while u decorate. i would go by how long do u keep baked goods in a container. i usually do 5 days to a week but thats jus me.

Check out the expiration dates on candy in the stores. I did my Ghiradelli favors about 4 months before.

It really depends on what type of candy it is. If they are unwrapped like gummy bears, I wouldn't do it more than a couple of days. The candy will get hard and won't be fresh. If they are wrapped like chocolate kisses, chocolate has a shelf life of 6-9 months. Hope this helps.

Thanks guys :-) I'm tempted to do a hard candy that are already wrapped that way I can do it pretty far in advance. I have 3 months to go into the wedding and a lot to deal I don't want to have to worry about stuff in jars at the last minute lol
