At our reception, our guests will be encouraged to make their own wedding favors by filling colorful Chinese take-out boxes with a variety of sweets featured at our
Candy Buffet. Most wedding favors are simply thrown away or shoved in a closet, so I thought this would be a more exciting and interactive version. This way, guests can take home as much or as little as they want, and they can customize their favor with their favorite flavors. It's inexpensive, fun, and a beautiful, eye-catching display that is sure to please guests.
To coincide with a rustic theme appropriate to our venue, the candy will be displayed in various sizes of Mason jars.
Consider a theme, either with the containers used to store the candy and/or the candy itself, when planning a candy buffet. The candy buffet should compliment the overall look and feel of your wedding.
Old-fashioned theme
Some couples choose to feature only candy that is made in their wedding colors.
Although this is an emerging trend, I actually got this idea from my sister's wedding in 2009:
My sister's candy buffet featured a variety of sweets, including Tootsie Roll Frooties, Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, gummy orange slices, Skittles and M&Ms.
What an interesting idea. I like the idea of nostalgic candy--to appeal to the older folks. The children will also enjoy it, of course.
