Semi- candy buffet??

Hey girls,As I have nothing else to do I'm looking up candy buffets and can't decide if I want one. I think they can be really cool looking but I've never ever seen one around here. FI is a DJ and we go to tons of weddings and I've never once seen one. But.. I like to be different so I think the candy buffet is def. for me. But, what I'm wondering is... will it be too much? I'm planning on having an extravagent cake and of course the PA cookie table (which my family will bake and bake and bake) so I'm wondering if that is way too many sweets. If I do that, I def can't do edible favors! So I was thinking maybe have like a semi buffet and only have 2 or 3 tubes/vases/containers of candy in the center of the cookie table. Since my colors are black white and hot pink, everyone has been telling me not to make it look "too good and plenty" so I think that would be a cute candy display to match well. So... I just wanted to see what you girls thought of just a few candy things in the middle of the overflow of cookies?

  • I think the cookies will be a fine favor and the candy bar would be unnecessary.

  • I've always understood the candy buffet to be the favour. If you have one, you definitely wouldn't need a favour in addition to the buffet.Why don't you do a sweets buffet with candy, cookies and other sweets for people to take home? I doubt many people would eat cake, cookies and candy, but if you provided little bags I'm sure they would be taken home.
  • Ditto pp's. We are doing a candy buffet as the favor.
  • I'm doing a candy buffet but with full sized candy (PIB). I love the idea of a cookie bar! Maybe concentrate more on the cookie idea... I think that if you had a beautiful spread of baked goods, then randomly put candy in the middle of it, it would look a little off.
