SCOOP UP WEDDING FUN WITH A SWEETHEART CANDY BUFFET

WOODRIDGE, Ill. – (January 2008) – After the final toast and the last dance, send wedding guests home with a sweet remembrance from a Sweetheart Candy Buffet. It’s a personal, chic way to end a memorable affair.

“It’s easy to create this contemporary nod to old-fashioned candy shops with a few simple items. You’ll need several glass jars, favor boxes or bags, scoops, and of course, candy,” advises Nancy Siler, wedding expert at Wilton Enterprises.

Choose clear glass jars to hold the candy selections. Using a tiered cake stand to create levels is an easy way to build a dramatic display of candy confections. Tie the scoops to each jar with ribbon for an elegant touch.

Offer a variety of tastes (including the bride’s and groom’s favorites) with Jordan Almonds, Wedding Message Hearts, fruit-flavored Mini Pastels, Tuxedo Mix Jelly Beans and tart Wedding Bells, all available at wilton.com. Purchase about 3 to 4 ounces of candy per guest. Choose a favor container that reflects the style of the wedding. Boxes and bags can be simple, fun or elegant.

At the beginning of the reception, present each guest with a keepsake silver-plated scoop wrapped in tulle and personalized with nametags and table numbers. The tags can be quickly printed at www.wiltonprint.com. The scoops do double duty at the end of the party when used to fill the goodie boxes.

Having guests dish out their party favors in style puts a sterling finish on this special day. It’s a sweet way to celebrate new beginnings.
