Gotta Love the Candy!

So today I walked into the grocery store and was confronted by a giant wall of Halloween candy. Which quite frankly is one of the greatest things ever! I happen to love candy, and it got me thinking about some of the candy buffets I have been able to set up for weddings and parties. They are so much fun and yet so simple. Great web sites like Candywarehouse.com have made it so easy to create these super fun buffets. They allow you to order candy in bulk and you can look up candy according to themes or color. You will be amazed at the color assortments and some of the crazy old-school candy they have. Setting up the candy buffet is super easy. All you need is a big table, a bunch of different sized containers, a couple ice scoops, and some small clear plastic bags. Your guests will love being able to scoop out their favorite candies, and if there are any kids around, they will think your parties are the best ever! Here are a few really fantastic pictures of different candy buffet themes.photos by Martha Stewart and Amy Atlas
