How much candy for candy table?

khasdal

We are doing a candy bar for the wedding favors, but not sure how much candy we should purchase.  We are expecting around 215-220 guests (less than 10 children), and are going to have 6 types of candy.  How much should I plan to purchase of each?  Thanks in advance!

1/4 lb. to 1/2 lb. per person, depending on the size of your to-go containers.  If they are bigger, go with 1/2 lb. if they are smaller, go with 1/4 lb. Also maybe the 1/2 lb. if there will be lots of kids.  Just make sure if you go with 1/2 lb. the containers are big enough so that you're not stuck with a ton left over.
