Tips for all candy buffets.
• It's always nice to pick items the guest of honor likes. Make sure to include her (or their) favorites.
• Make sure you have enough candy. The buffet will become part of your decorations. You want the look to be pleasing.
• If you're budget is tight, purchase bulk candy as much as possible. You can also add party items to the table. Silk flowers or confetti, can help fill in and dress up the area.
• Have a variety of candy...hard, soft, sweet, sour, spicy, etc.
• Use a variety of holders for your sweets. Choose different shapes and heights for the greatest appeal.
• Make sure your guests can take the candy easily. Have spoons and scoopers available.
• Consider the temperature of your location. If you're having the bridal shower candy buffet outside in the summer, you probably won't have chocolates.
• Have treat bags or boxes avaialable, for guests to take some candy with them.
• You may have decided that this will be your party favor. Make them up ahead of time. Keep on a separate tray or box, and clearly label them as a take-home favor.

Candy buffet using the party colors.

• Match just the containers to the party colors, and the sweets can be all different. This way you can choose an assortment of anything.
• Use clear holders to let the party colors show through.
• Chocolates can be found with different colored foil.
• You might choose candy in one party color, and containers in your second color.

• Use salt water taffy for a Beach theme.
• If you've chosen a decade like the 60's or 70's, retro candy is very popular now.
• Girly Girl themes can have all soft colors, or just pink.
• Some candies have names that can be related to your theme.
