A Sweet Bridal Idea For Your Wedding: The Candy Buffet

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

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 made its debut to wedding guests all over the nation within the past few years and there are no signs of the wedding candy bar concept slowing down.  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 exists hundreds of hard and soft candy in every color of the rainbow.  Reach back into time and choose some candy with nostalgic value, then add some of your current favorites.  Imagine candied mints, colorful jelly beans, wrapped chocolates, licorice sticks, 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.  Alternatively, handwrite the name of the candy onto a beautiful sticker and affix to the front of the glass jar.  Provide a candy scoop by the candy jar for your guests to serve themselves a helping of the sweet treats.

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 transform Chinese takeout boxes into a great container for your memorable wedding candy buffet.  You can utilize glassine envelopes with personalized labels to provide your guests with a unique 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)

If you want to stand confident when you give out your best man speech, the first thing that you need to do is to prepare for it.

If you are familiar with the things that you have to say, then you would not stammer or get nervous when it is time for you to stand up and deliver your speech.

It is recommended that you practice your speech days before the event. You can stand in front of the mirror so you can get comfortable.
