Wedding Projects #2: Candy Buffet (Wedding Favors)

I already blogged about the candy buffet, but here is more of the details on that project. I borrowed all of the jars. When I asked around, so many people had candy jars! This definitely cut down on the costs. The candy was a bit pricey ($80) but I did buy a lot of candy and considering how little I spent on jars it was totally worth it. Finding scoopers was a bit of a challenge, but my mom ended up finding them in a discount kitchen store in Dixie Outlet Mall in Mississauga. She also found nice stickers to seal the candy bags.


For the candy bags, I dragged Kate Plyley and Emily Springgay up north (past Yorkdale Mall) to a bulk craft store in the middle of nowhere to find the kinds that I wanted. It was quite the adventure! I spent way too much time worrying about those bags! When it came down to labeling the candy jars, I gave my cousins, Lisa and Chantal, some paper and pens and they did them all for me (as well as the "Love is Sweet" sign).

On the day prior to the wedding, Lisa, Chantal, and Kayla set up the table. We used a box under some of the jars to elevate them, which looked really nice. For some finishing touches they added lights and tool fabric. It was definitely a hit as almost all of the candy was gone by the end of the night.
