Has anyone here ever done a candy station as their wedding favors? If so, how much candy did you buy? Some websites suggested 1 lb per person, and others say 1/2 lb. I would rather have people tell me what they bought based on experience and provide me with suggestions. Thanks!

Yeah me too. I was thinking 1/2 lb would be plenty. I have been to weddings where there were candy stations and people either fille their bags to the top or only take a little bit, so 1/2 lbs seems average. I was just wondering if anyone else has done one before and how much they bought for it.
To answer your question, even a 1/2 pound per person is probably way too much, but you might want to buy that much anyway just so your candy table looks full. What we did was we picked our bags first. The bags had a weight on them. We multiplied that by the number of guests we were expecting. And then we had now much candy we needed.
I would say only 1/3 of it got eaten. But if we had bought less candy, the table would have looked really bare. Luckily candy is cheap, so whatever doesn't get eaten, give it away and forget about it.

I don't care about candy being left over because I can always bring it to work and share the rest with people in my office. My fear is not having enough. How much did you end up buying per person after you weighed the bags?
Everything the light touches is my kingdom.
I'm telling you, get the good stuff so you can use it like prison currency. I am paying for goods and services in CHOCOLATE.
OP-The wedding planning, reception boards or DIY may have more info on how much candy too. Just make sure to look through the older posts before posting a new question so no one freaks out. HTH
Oddly, I think this is my first vendor banning.
RAWR!

Did it make you drunk... with power? ;)
Just call me "Brothel"
And betrothed, I'm disgusted with most of the comments that you have posted. I don't think I've ever read such judgmental comments in my life. I'm so lucky that the girls I speak to on theknot are nothing like you...I would've never come on here for ADVICE if I would've encountered a big a bitch as you. I genuinely feel awful for your children or your future children, and I think it would be irresponsible of YOU not to invest in their future therapy sessions starting now. Because trust me when I tell you honey, they're gonna need it. ~jcaruncho2010
