How to Create a Candy Table at a Wedding

Create a candy table for sweet wedding treats.

A candy table at a wedding can serve double duty by satisfying every sweet tooth and creating a central point to bring guests together versus confining them to individual tables. A candy table can also offer more variety than the traditional treat menu by placing out milk, white or dark chocolate candies; dipped fruits; and hard candies of mixed textures. The choice of offerings is completely versatile. Remember the key to pulling off a candy table is presentation.

Things You'll Need

• Table
• Tiers
• Cellophane bags
• Small tongs - same quantity as treat containers
• Glass jars, bowls and platters

Instructions

1. Decide on treats that suit the décor or personality of the event. Remember that some people are allergic to chocolate and nuts, so alternatives should also be provided.

2. Prepare dipped fruit the morning of the event and place prepared platters in a cool spot until ready to use.

3. Use tiers on the table to create a "candy store" feeling. Clear glass jars and bowls will allow guests to see contents easily.

4. Place small tongs next to each treat container.

5. Put out cellophane or wax paper bags so guests can take candies home.
