Why a Candy Buffet?

There is a reason you are seeing candy buffets pop up all over the place nowadays.  The reason is they are just plain fun!  I have yet to meet a person who has not heard of candy buffets and even more importantly doesn't like them.  They are a delight to everyone that attends your party or event and a bright spot to those who "don't really wanna be here...".  Here are a list of reasons I thought of that you would absolutely want a candy buffet at your event!

1)  It's the "new" thing and the "old" thing. 

Let me explain.  Candy buffets are becoming a super popular trend, and are considered a fresh and unique item to have at your event.  However "new" this trend may be,  you can still incorporate the "old" in with it.  You can make it a very formal traditional display of candies and desserts that fit with a more elegant theme!  Bridging the "new" and the "old" has never been this sweet!

2)  It is personal.

Custom-made candy buffets are always made with the bride and groom as the focal point of the display.  A good candy buffet planner will typically include the bride and groom's favorite candy (if within budget) as well as the style and theme they prefer.  Candy buffet planners go out of their way to make it as unique as possible, sometimes including pictures of the bride and groom as young children in the display.

3)  Dual purpose.

I know most of you have heard this before, but candy buffets function as a guest favor and as a decorative centerpiece!  That is the best part about candy buffets.  A lot of people search for a focal point for their event, and candy buffets really are it!  I had several guest favors including a photo booth and a candy buffet at my wedding and the most positive comments I heard were about the candy buffet!  So, if you are wondering why it is "so expensive" it is because candy buffet planners put a lot of time into making custom-designs that will be the life of the party!

4) The Experience.

With Candy buffets you are getting an experience.  I always go back to the "kid in the candy shop".  Those were some of the best times in all of our lives, standing in the candy store and wondering which candy mom and dad would let us have!  You still get this experience if you go places like Cracker Barrel or small mom and pop stores, however where else can you display your affection for candy better than your own party?  By having a candy buffet you are creating a nostalgic experience for your guests and for yourself!
