candy buffet

Curious_George_2

we didnt ask permission for it anymore than we did for anything else really... but when we mentioned it briefly during a meeting with our co-ordinator, she pulled a face,
but on the day confessed she thought it was amazing and she had thought by "sweet" we meant pudding,
so make sure your venue knows you mean pik n mix

I did hear (not sure which forum) that someone did want to do one but the venue wouldn't let them because the sweets where not in there own little packets they said it was cause of health and hygiene

We asked at our venue and she said yes aslong as u dont bring to many,i said u do know what i mean by sweet buffet she thought i meant puddings until i said no sweets as in candy she said o right yes no problem thats fine lol

I asked my venue and they were fine with it, even helped find a good spot for the table and will provide a clothed table for it.

Thanks everyone I know another couple who got married at my venue earlier this year, who said the staff were beyond helpful. I'll give them a ring next week just to check, before I buy any more jars x

I'm very lucky to have a talented friend who sells these :-) Think they are around £6 for 8 little but pricey bit oh so worth it for the effect x

I am having a hot pink and ivory theme and am secretly doing a candy buffet for my OH who is a sweetie-aholic. I struggled to do all pnk and white as it looked too pale, so Ive chucked a bit of red in as well to zing it up a bit.
Buying as I see things but have got so far:
B&M ie cheaper than usual price - Marshmallows (haribo)heart and starshaped lollies (I weeded the pink an green ones out!)and huge swirly pops
Poundland -strawberry lances, strawberry hearts
Morrisons - value wrapped clear mints (no logo) 39pish a bag and strawberry bon bons 3 for £2 offer
Def want white mice, mini lovehearts and some sugar free selections from t'interweb
Doing pink iced cupcakes with loveheart toppers
Thought of a bowl of fresh strawberries too

OoH just had another idea - what about lining the jars/bowls with your colour theme tissue paper then the sweets - retro or otherwise sitting in them, from the first look its all coloured like your theme.

Thanks so much for these ideas!!! :T

jidi19, does your friend still do those amazing tags and do you have her contact details?
