Where to Get Sweets From?

MentalMinnie

Hi ladies!

I'm getting married in 2 weeks! (eek!!) and i'm hoping to do a sweetie table at the reception. Can anyone recommend where I can buy the sweets from cheap? Cash and carry type places ain't an option as i don't know anyone with a card for the ones near us. Grrrr! Thanks in advance! xx

I've bought our sweets (they're for the center of each table so quite a lot of packets have been bought) all from tesco and sainsburys in their 3 for £1 deals. Maybe try there?

^ good idea, get a bunch of different types and arrange them in pretty bowls

Got packets of Love Hearts from Amazon when on offer but I got all the rest of sweets fromthe sweet seller on out local market which saved me buying the tubs as they already came in them. He even through in an extra bag of flumps for free for me.

Tesco do big bags of old fashioned sweeties 3 for £2
Wilkinson & Poundland also do a good range of sweets in bags!

Poundlamd is a great shout. I got some of ours from eBay too.

Home Bargains is a god send for cheap sweets!!!!

I had jam jars filled with sweets as part of my table decorations. My table names were sweets through the ages, had one jar on each table filled with sweets to match the name and then filled the other jars with what I could get cheap; haribo, dolly mixtures, chocolate eclairs.

@Maysie - I love that sign!!!
