Dessert Bar vs. Candy Bar

Adults love candy too!

You can do the candy bar. You will be surprised how much adults like candy. You can do combination of candy and dessert bar.

That is true, will ask the families on what they prefer.

I think either way will be great! I have a lot of diabetics in my family so we're doing a dessert bar so that we can make special ones for them, but I don't know a single adult that doesn't like candy!

Both would be good I love the sound of the dessert bar though....nom nom nom

Thanks for the advice ladies. i do have alot of older people that have restrictions on what they can and can not eat so i am going to have to keep that in mind. but the good thing is that since my hubby is allegric to yeast we have already found a bakery that i handle his allegry so hopefully they will be willing to do my whole dessert bar and i may add some candy in there since we are also gonna have icecream.

We did both and honestly, the adults LOVED the candy that we included.

I would do a little of both and have a Dessert & Candy Bar ... you can offer your guests little bags to take candy home as well or even little containers for desserts too.

We only had 7 kids at our wedding and the candy was gone before we got to the reception! I thought at first they forgot to put it out but apparently the adults went crazy. I bought a ton of candy too. So don't dismiss this idea just yet but I do love the idea of a dessert bar.

I think the candy bar would be great.

We did both a candy and desserts bar with cookies & cupcakes- we had no kids at our wedding except my nephew and EVERYTHING was gone! I never even got one of the damned cupcakes! Adults love candy and sweets bars.

My FH and I are BIG kids and love sweets so we plan on doing a Candy Bar with a few desserts ie. cupcakes, yougurt covered pretzels etc. Our venue is providing deserts already, so I have choosen to have the desserts at the candy bar for those that are diabetic.

You could do a mixture of both! We're doing a dessert bar at ours, and we'll have some rock candy, lollipops, etc mixed in with the baked goods.

Do both.

Thanks ladies it sounds like we will be doing both.

the hubby wants to include icecream in the dessert bar should we include that in the dessert bar and if so does anyone know were i can get icecream from

I am getting mine catered (I'm a terrible cook and incredibly lazy) for my engagement party and I think it's gonna cost $6-8pp for full set up and clean up

I'm having:

Desserts:

1. Cupcake tower

2. Mini cupcakes

3. Mousse cups

4. Cookies

5. Fairy floss

6. Donuts

7. Meringue kisses

8. Caramel tarts

Lollies

1. Foiled aqua hearts

2. Aqua rock candy sticks

3. Kool Mints

4. Bounty

You should do both! You said you hubby likes Ice cream, Coldstone has really good ice cream! And they cater!

I agree with everyone here......Adults too like the candy bar....And there is no rules to have either candy bar or desert bar....Or having candy bar only when you have lots of children in the wedding......Just combine both of them......Everyone likes candy and deserts.....like this..
