To create or not create!?

When creating a candy buffet or even a "sweet treat" buffet, you always want to make sure you buy more than enough supplies. You DO NOT want the buffet to run out before the party is over! Buy plenty of candies and/or "goodies" (cupcakes, cookies, chocolate covered strawberries,etc) for your guests to enjoy at the party as well as at home! Candy buffets can be used as a substitute for an expensive dessert and can be the party favor for your guests as well! 

Candy buffets can look really boring and plain. Here are a few tips on how to make your buffet look full and appetizing!!! :
  • Don't just buy a bunch of jars of all the same size; buy apothecary jars of all sizes.
  • If apothecary jars are too expensive for your tight budget, go to wal mart and thrift stores to find a variety of jars and bowls for cheap!
  • Decorate the table with flower petals (for weddings) or themed items, matching the theme of your party!
  • Tie ribbons around the jars, creating a cute feel to the table.
  • Put boxes underneath the linens to create different levels: it makes the table look full and fabulous!
  • I can't stress enough about having more than ENOUGH candy. @ least a 1/2 per person.
  • Order your candy wholesale...it is MUCH cheaper! (wholesale license's are CHEAP!)
