We need to figure out a way to "label" the candy in the candy buffet. Some of it is wrapped and the wrappers labeled, others are wrapped but not labeled on the wrapper, and others are loose. We want to do little labels (about the sign of a business card), but can't figure out how to display it.
We have all sorts of different glassware (we wanted a very eclectic look, so we have high and low, tall and shallow, plain and fancy, etc). We didn't want the "typical" candy buffet look, so we grabbed any and all glassware we could get our hands on.
I had originally planned on placing the little signs attached to the glass, with removable glue dots. My mom pointed out though with the low glassware, it will look weird, since there is not a front to "attach" it too- and she's right, as much as it pains me to admit it
Then we came up with the idea of doing tent cards and placing them in front each glassware. But then, we have two problems. One, what if someone knocks/moves the tent card from in front of the glass? Two, we will use both sides of the buffet, so we would have to make double.
Then we came up with the idea of printing two signs, and would list all the candy on each sign. We would place a list on both ends of the table, and no little labels for each jar would be used. We aren't keen on this though, in case someone can't figure out exactly which candy is which, etc.
Finally, the last idea is to glue the little label/sign to a stick or bamboo skewer, and stick the end of the skewer into the candy itself. We could do this with tall or low jars by cutting the skewer to the right length, and we could attach labels to each side of the skewer (by gluing them to each other), which then lets both sides of teh buffet see what it is.
Which do you think is best, both from a guest standpoint and a bride standpoint? We do have candies, like Peanut MMs, that guests may need to be aware of. We also have candies that could be confused with each other (pretzel MMs versus regular MMs, for example) We also have some sugar free candy for guests who can't have the rest, and we want them to be made aware of that as well. I thought about not doing signs/labels, but with those things, we really need to. Do you have another idea for labeling each individual jar?
Thank you so much ladies!
