We are having a candy buffet at our wedding and I am having trouble trying to figure out how much candy to buy. We are having 150 guests and plan to have about 8-10 kinds of candy. How many pounds of each and total do you think we should buy.
This page says "To make it look gorgeous, I'd start with the table, not the guest count. I'd take five to 10 types of candy, and buy 15 to 20 pounds each, whether you actually need that much or not."
Hi, I did a candy buffet. I had about 10 or 11 different glass decorative vases, jars, etc. I bought candy from candywarehouse.com. (great candy and prices BTW). I bought the smallest LBS bags they had - I believe 5 lbs - 10lbs. We had a ton left over. I had around 260 at my wedding.
