I should have done more research before I decided on candies in a jar at my wedding. I mean I could have gotten cheaper option on other cases for the candy and not a jar! Also I should have researched on the prices of candies first before even coming up with this idea and now I am stuck cuz the candies i have been seeing, trying to fill up this jar will cost way over my budget. So now i really have no idea what to do. Clearly I cant return the jars back but I guess i can fill the jars with some other kind of candy?

Any other idea what to fill the jars with that isnt to pricey? I know it has to be candy cuz the jar is obviously a candy jar but perhaps another type of candy that I havent considered at?

See the pic of my silly jar Smiley sad

Thanks

    LoL Ashley i really thought of fillers myself but I dont want people mistakenly having non edible things in the jar with edible thing. I worry some might eat it in error. Lol

    Go to DollarTree and buy 50 bags of cinnamon red hots or half red hots half lemon heads... this should be enough for all 100.

    LoL I think i know what those are...the hershey's kisses type of chocs right? If yes, I asked the question above

    "Would it look awful if i filled them up with hershey's kisses? i am thinking maximum that will fit in will be about 7, and at the candywarehouse Rachael suggested, I see 100 kisses for $10. yay or Nay?"

    Got no reply so thought it was a flat out Nay to fill the jars with kisses

    @Gee, I was at a wedding recently and they used these exact jars filled with hot chocolate powder mix, topped with miniature marshmallows.

    Buttermints!! Or Jordan almonds. SUPER cheap off amazon.com You can get an 8 lb bag for like 30$.. I'm sure you don't need 8 lbs Smiley winking But there is also a 2 lb bag, 5 lb bag.. etc..

    Amazon has the jelly bellys 4 lbs for 20 bucks. Not sure how many oz. the jars are and how many containers of JB you would need. http://www.amazon.com/Kirkland-Signature-Jelly-Belly-Flavors/dp/B001XSMANI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1337875495&sr=8-1

    I vote for buttermints. They are cheap and taste great and if you get them in pastel colors they are very pretty.

    I worry with that size, 4 lbs wont be enough. I would have to maybe end up with 4 of those--coming up to 80$. I know i said my budget is $100 but honestly I would rather not spend that. ugh

    Minus the snowman soup sign, it was very similar to this.

    Yes Tracy, it seems so similar to my jar. Looks pretty for sure. What did you think about them? That is just hot chocolate and marshmallows right? Interesting i must say, never heard of these before
