candy buffet

I have been looking through a few wedding forums and there seem to be a lot of good feed back from candy buffets, i did want one but never knew if they would be popular or even if people would take any but after seeing that everyone had had success we have decided we are going to have one. We love sweets, all kinds and so does most of our families, and come on who doesn't like sweets, we will have soft sweets like harribo and other jellies but also bonbons, pear drops and mints. I am still looking to see what jars or bowls we are going to use but most people have had a variety so we will have a look at charity shops and ikea to see what we can get.




We also need to come up with a little poem to put on the table so here is a few little ideas, we may not use any of this and steal someone Else's but you never know.

Love is sweet,
Love is grand.
Welcome to our candy stand.

On a table,
Or a cart,
Check the tags to tell them apart.

Some for the old,
Some for the young.
Mix up the bag and you cant go wrong.

Take them all home,
Or eat them right here.
Watch out for the sour ones, 
You may shed a tear.

Think of others,
We like to share,
Why not have a candy bear.

Now you've had your candy treat,
Get up on your dancing feet.

Wow that worked out better than i thought, We just have to make sure we get candy bears now. lol. Here is my list of sweets that i would like:


Parma Violets


Bonbons (different flavours)


Giant Strawberries


Gummy Bears

Sour Cherries


Pear Drops


Millions (different flavours)


Love Hearts (maybe personalised ones)


Gummy rings


Lolly pops

  1. wow this is great! my friend is getting married on this March 05 and we're also trying to get around doing this for her. unlike there, that you can easily order sweets and stuff, it's more challenging here in the Philippines... even finding local suppliers for the boxes for the sweets is pretty hard. we're thinking that this will be here DIY wedding favor during here reception. Good Luck to you!
