The Candy Bar
Candy bar table at The Wave, Appleton, WI
The Candy Bar is a simple idea.
Have a table set-aside that will be covered in various candy treats.
The first time I saw this, the couple had large bulk candy jars like you would find in a store (like a big cookie jar with an off-set opening and a chrome lid). In each jar something different. M&Ms, Skittles, dinner mints, peppermint patties, Whoppers and more. There were small scoops that you could scoop the candy out and put into red and white check paper trays.
The second time I saw the candy bar, there were large bowls and jumbo martini glasses with various wrapped candy (individually wrapped mini candy bars, tootsie rolls and so on). A neat addition was chinese takeout style containers that you could fill up and take back to the table.
