Wedding Blog - it’s a bride’s life - real brides blogging ’til “I do!”

A month after returning from our honeymoon, it was time to celebrate with family and friends who could not make it to Greece.

I had been planning a candy bar for over a year and am so excited with how it turned out!

(Please excuse the dark photos, the venue was a tad dark and I don’t like using flash!)

The jars are from thrift stores and Craigslist.

The baggies came from Fort and Field on Etsy.

I also had sugar-free candy for a diabetic in my family.

The prongs came from Party City (which actually now has a ‘candy buffet’ section!). I got the giant lollipops from Dollar Tree, though don’t recommend them. (1- can’t take off the stickers, 2 – easily break, 3 – don’t really taste that good!)

The levels are simply boxes in wrapping paper with a ribbon around the center. I think the different levels really helped with the look, though I wish I had made more of them!

The name tags are simply that – my sister had left over place tags from her wedding.

For the lollipops to stand, instead of using boxes, I wrapped floral foam. I found it cheaper to get a package of four from Hobby Lobby than a single package from the Dollar Tree.

SO much candy!!

This was actually good enough to keep kids and adults away until dinner was over. But once I removed the sign – devoured!
