Does anyone have insight as to how much of each kind of candy I should order for my buffet. There will be aroud 115 people (no kids) Thanks so much

I had around that number (125) and we used approximately 1/4 lb of candy per person (total, not of each type). We had some leftover, but we didn't have to worry about running out, and the jars were easily kept full. Overall, that amount per person worked out well.

ITA with 1/4 lb. per person.  You can also take one of your to-go containers to a local place that sells bulk candy, fill it, and then multiply that by your # of guests.

Thanks so much. That's very helpful. I guess I never really thought about doing it lb. per person. Makes sense

I've heard 1/4 pound per person, which is what I'm going to do.  But I've also read that you should worry about what looks best in your jars.  So, if you have a small wedding, you may need more than 1/4 pound per.
