Wedding Candy – Party Favors

Make Your Reception Sweeter with Wedding Candy

There are many ways to add color and style to a wedding. Candy is a popular choice, whether on the buffet table or as party favors for guests to take home. The best part is that there is no limit to what candy can be.

Want to give your wedding a crystal theme? Decorate with rock candy in colors of your choice. Or if you’d like to coordinate with silver accents, there are a number of candies with elegant plain silver wrapping to use both as décor and party favors. No matter how you want to style your wedding reception, there are definitely candy choices to suit it.

With candy, you can even make receptions more personal by making the favors yourself. Gather selections of your choice into a bag and tie a ribbon around it. You can use a personalized ribbon printed with your names and the date of the wedding to give the favor a special touch. You can choose treats that follow the wedding’s theme, or make things sweeter and choose retro candies that you and your spouse love.

Wedding candy buffets have always been a popular addition to any reception. They are also very easy to make, for the reception on a budget. Collect glass or clear plastic jars of different shapes and sizes then fill them with candy bought in bulk to suit your wedding reception theme. Make sure to keep tongs, scoops and bags nearby for guests to gather candy to take home. Varying the colors, the heights of the jars and even the types of candies can make a very eye-catching display. You can even separate this from the rest of the buffet and give it a special table of its own.

With so many different kinds of candy to consider, it’s not a surprise that there are some specifically made for special days.

For family gatherings such as on Thanksgiving or Easter, setting aside a bowl of sweets for visitors to munch on is a great addition to any party. Adding them to décor fit for the celebration is a good idea as well, such as setting candies in a cornucopia for Thanksgiving or fixing up a Christmas-themed bowl with red and green candies to bring out that festive spirit.

Some special occasions like Easter and Halloween come with trademark candy that makes it easier to shop for. Marshmallow Peeps, a soft and fluffy treat from Just Born, is a staple in Easter baskets along with various chocolates shaped like rabbits or eggs. As for Halloween, traditional candy corn and critter-shaped gummies like worms and newts are perfect for answering trick-or-treaters.
