MemberAfter looking at pictures of SUPER cute wedding buffets, I am really itching to do one for our wedding! I’m not sure if it would be worth it though, because we do not have many children attending our wedding. I thought it may be a cute idea to replace favors, and people can help themselves to take home. What do you all think?
MemberI am totally having a candy buffet. We are having a movie themed wedding so we are renting a popcorn stand as well.
MemberI personally am not a fan of them…but for the most part I dont like candy.
MemberI like them and I wish we had the budget for one, but we don’t. I think it’s a great idea if you have the means to do it.
MemberI’m a little bit obsessed with candy, so I really want to have one. We don’t have the details worked out, but it’s definitely up there on my want list.
MemberI like them but for us that would be just one more expence I really don’t feel like dealing with. If we had the money then absolutely!
MemberIf i had a budget for one, I’d do it. I think they are super cute!
MemberI wish I could have one! but… it won’t fit in my budget
Memberwe’re doing a candy buffet for three reasons:
1. I don’t want to do favors*
2. the money we save on not doing favors will be donated to a charity in our two family’s names (there will be a sign at the buffet that explains that)
3. I LOVE CANDY!!!! everybody knows that about me
I’m really looking forward to shopping for vintage containers to put the candy in 🙂
*my sister-in-law gave out straw fans as favors, the proceeds of buying them benefitted kids in a 3rd world country. I thought it was a nice touch, but I was like, what do I do with this crappy fan? I didn’t want to keep it. and then I figured about 1/2 of the fans would end up in the garbage and it made me feel bad. so a candy buffet is a way to avoid waste. leftover candy will get eaten, and the containers will be reused in my home. problem solved!
Member@BridalBlondie: I think the adults would eat candy too! especially if they get tipsy and have the munchies.
I was considering adding some salty snacks to it as well.
MemberI am definately a an of candy, so we are having a candy/cookie buffet. We are only having one child at the wedding; age 10, but I know it will be a hit with the adults.
MemberI think the candy buffets look so neat! I am definitely wanting to do one at our wedding, we won’t have many kids at our wedding either but I think adults will still go over & snack on some.
MemberThey look cute, but from the ones I’ve experienced, don’t get much action. I have a couple of friends that had them and regretted it. It costs more than you’d think, and 2 years later one friend is still eating leftover licoriche. I never go to the candy buffets at weddings–it’s kind of a weird concept to me. All you can eat sugary crap? No thanks! Just my opinion though 🙂
MemberMs Hedgehog I’m in the same boat. I love them, but it’s one more thing I would be stressing to find the money for. If I had the extra cash I would sooooo do one though!!!
MemberI think they’re adorable and I did really want one but my venue doesn’t allow any outside food/drinks and their candy buffet prices start at $4 per person (and i’m guessing is pretty crap if they start there) which is a total waste since I know I could make the bombiest one myself for like $2-3 per person
