We are getting married 04/01/12. We have bought 14 different jars for all kinds of different candy for our candy buffet. Now we are trying to figure out if we should still buy favors to place on the table for each guest. What do you think ????

I don't think you have to unless you want to. The candy bar is plenty.

I have a candy buffet business and most of my brides let the candy buffet double as their dessert enhancement and their favor. It works really well. No need for an additional favor.

I think it is the favor. We may be doing it and that will be their favors. No need to go overboard :)

I am doing a candy bar and may still do something else for guest that don't eat candy. But by no means am I going to be doing double favors. I think a candy bar is enough.

Place a plate of cookies or a jar of nuts and chex mix.  I wouldn't fill my bag with candy, but instead crackers or chex mix for a snack later on.

Just because you saw it on Four Weddings, doesn't mean it's a good idea.

I like the last posters idea, just make sure the candy buffet has a wide enough variety for everyone and you'll be set. You cannot always please everyone, even if you do a more traditional favor so don't stress over it.

When my sister had a candy buffet we put out apples and pretzel sticks for the non-candy eaters.
