These days couples are adding a touch of whimsy to their reception by having a candy buffet or confection bar. This is a great way to thank your guests for attending your wedding. Here's how to do it.
- Find containers - Having a candy buffet can easily become expensive. Scout thrift stores, garage sales online stores and your local dollar store for big containers at a small price. You can also rent containers. Here are some from Amazon that are $12 for 4 containers. Just take the lids off and fill them with candy:
- Buy Candy - One way you can save a bundle on candy is to buy in bulk.

Color matters! Buy candy that matches your wedding color scheme. Most
people don't want there wedding to look like a circus, so shop around for the
right colors. Also, shop around for better prices. (Hint: fill the smaller containers
with the more expensive candy and vice versa.)
3. Don't go overboard - You can have a successful candy buffet and it not be all candy.
Another way to save money is to use fillers. Use things like table runners, flowers,
pictures, and candles. You can also fill your table with delicious cupcakes, cookies, and
pies. Here is a great idea from Bakerella. Bakerella's simple to make cake pops and cup cake bites:
