Girls doing or who have done Candy Buffets...

Where did you get your candy 'holders' and how much? I love the look of the big wine glasses, martini glasses, etc... We're not sticking to a color theme because the buffet theme itself is 'Nostalgic Candy'.. I'm looking for some type of poem for that too, to put on the table..

Re: Girls doing or who have done Candy Buffets...

You can get them at Michaels and AC Moore. Use the 25% coupons when you can. You can always price them at save-on-crafts.com

Definitely take a trip to economycandy.com in downtown manhattan, great deals!

I actually used baskets from ikea which was super inexpensive.

Re: Girls doing or who have done Candy Buffets...

I did the candy buffett and it was a hit I bought the vases between AC Moore and Michael's and even on sale they were about $7 to $12 a piece depending on the size. The martini glasses and wine glasses are about $7 to $8 with the 25% off. The bigger vases will be a little more. The scoops are cheaper if you get the plastic ones, but not a good look. The metal scoops can 'run' you about $3 a piece for good size ones
You will definetely get great prices on candy at economy candy in the city. You can drive there, because there is parking around the area. Do not buy the candy online because the shipping and handling will cost you more due to the weight. Economy candy is the place to go


I hope this information helps you

Re: Girls doing or who have done Candy Buffets...

I'll be going back and forth from Michales, AC More and any other craft store. LOL. I'm gonna get a few at a time so I don't feel like I'm going broke over glass jars! HAHA
I'm gonna be heading out to the city to get the candy with my MOH in March...a fund girls day out! YAY! lol

Also, I have a questions....how much candy should I get if my min at RH is 175??

Re: Girls doing or who have done Candy Buffets...

I would say save-on-crafts, ikea, Michaels or A.C. Moore has jars/vases pretty cheap. I would also try the dollar stores. They may have some stock left from the holidays , they always have vases and jars for that sort of thing.

I also ordered from economycandy and I just wanted to add that they were amazing. I ordered all of our jordan almonds through them, and I still have tons left over, but even today, they are still crunchy and they don't have alot of sugar coating on them, they are terrific! Love them.

Re: Girls doing or who have done Candy Buffets...

Thanks ladies!! I never even thought about using baskets.. That looks awesome!! I'm going to order the frosted bags with our monograms (If I ever decide on which one to use!! lol) on them.

Does that candy place in the city have nostalgic candy?? FH was born in 69 and I was born in 78 so we want the real old school stuff. lol

Oh, and how do I get those discount coupons for AC Moore and Michaels??

Since my wedding isn't until July, I figured I'd go around beginning to Mid June?? Does that sound about right?
