The best reason to have a candy buffet at your event is simply because of the versatility of this unique display. A candy buffet serves as a talking point for guests, creates visual drama, and functions as a highly appreciated guest favor at your event! The guest favor part is what we're focused on today.
You want your guests to know how much you appreciate them by making the guest favor distinctive and fun! The most important part in this, if you want your candy buffet to function as a guest favor, is to have it set up to look like more than just a display. Here are a couple of tips that will help guests feel comfortable in grabbing a few treats to take home.
1. Make the jars accessible. If you desire visual drama as well as a guest treat in planning your candy buffet, you need to consider the functionality of the vases and glassware you buy. You do not want the candy too low, so kids can lick one and put it back---gross! You also do not want the candy in tall skinny vases that no one is able to reach. Choose 1-2 tall “creative” vases for height difference, and surround them with medium sized containers to make this display guest friendly!
2. Provide scoops to allow the guests to reach into a bowl and take a few smaller treats without worrying whether it’s sanitary or proper etiquette to take a few by hand.
3. Place enough treat bags on the table so that there is at least one for every guest, maybe a few extra for the unexpected visitor. You can place these in a cute basket, on a serving platter or just lay them decoratively on the table.
4. The last thing you can do to make this cute and fun for your guests is to personalize the favor bags. Create a little saying to stick on or in the bags telling the guests how much you appreciate them being there! Your guests will appreciate your telling them how much you were thankful for their support at your event!
