    check out poundland, the one near me has large tubes of just blue smarties!! Try costco type places if you can access there as well as the value ranges in major supermarkets??

    and the jars will be refiled and given out as Christmas presents, pickled onions (home grown) sun dried tomatoes (also home grown) preserved lemons...

    Also poke your head into the local charity shops as you can often find some lovely bowls in there as well as vases that you can fill with sweeties.

    Blue is a hard on actualy isnt it!
    luckily mine will be pink, white & silver so sounds like you have a task on your hands!!!

    my only worry with the whole sweetie table is that kids will go crazy - fill up bags and bags and/or knock over the vases/bowls!!!

    I saw this on Project wedding and it really make me want one!

    Damn, won't let me add a picture....hmmm.....

    got to projectwedding and add this after the link. /photo/browse?photo_to_show=620219&!!!!!cake&thumbs_page=52

    Wow love this idea!! Only thing is how would you limit the sweets so as that there is enough for everyone and the 'greedy' people lol dont eat them all or as a previous poster has said the children dont spill them or eat them all!?

    How many varities of sweets were you all thinking of having?

    Thanks :) xxx
