How to Create a Candy Buffet for Your Wedding Reception

Candy buffet tables create a whimsical centerpiece as well as a customizable favor for your wedding guests. Before you start to make a candy buffet, think about the theme of your wedding. The candy buffet should match the color scheme of the bridal party. Another option is to create a seasonal buffet using candies that correlate with the season the wedding is in. Also consider the number of guests you will have. Celebration Ideas Online suggests buying a 1/2 pound of candy per guest.

Instructions

1

Purchase the candy you want to have. Keep in mind the theme and number of guests. Choose an assortment of types of candy. Try to include the bride and groom's favorite candies as well.

2

Fill various size jars, bowls, baskets or other type of creative container with the candies. The candy should be visible through each container.

3

Arrange the containers on the buffet table. Create depth by staggering different size containers. Use a book or other support to raise the containers in the back.

4

Add the scoop, spoon or tongs to each container.

5

Label a place card in front of each jar with the candy's name.

6

Set up the favor bags or boxes at the end of the table.
