We were planning to do a candy bar with all old school/ childhood candies. These were the candies we were going to do (some, not all of them).

Gummy Bears

Tootsie Rolls

Charleston Chews

Nerds

Runts***

Jaw breakers

Red hots

Sixlets

Sweet tarts

Now and laters

Pixie Stix

Mary Janes

Chiclets

Mike and Ikes

Sugar Daddy

Bit O Honey

Laffy Taffy

Chic o sticks

My question is, how many of you as a guest would enjoy and actually take a bag of candy.
Please note: I AM NOT ASKING IF I SHOULD DO THE CANDY BAR OR NOT. I AM ASKING IF YES YOU WOULD LIKE IT OR NO YOU WOULDN'T.
I personally would not myself, but FH is a big candy eater and the above list is his favorites. He liked the idea but said he wasn't sure how many ppl would actually take it.

If people would enjoy and use it, I definitely want to do it. If not, i just don't want to go through all the work of setting it up and buying the candy.

Also I personally have not been to a wedding with a candy buffet.

    Thank you! This is literally a list of FHs favorites. He was excited about the idea because he gets to keep the "leftovers " .lol

    Oh. Have you ever used one of those ice boats to put cold food in at an outside event?

    Based on your choices of candy listed, I would probably take a tootsie roll or two, but that’s about it. Maybe switch up some of the candies and people will take more

    That’s what I was going to say! Some chocolate would be yummy too.

    To answer your question, yes, I would like a candy bar.

    Oh I would like it. I was a guest once where I first saw it and I loved it. That's why I had one of my own aha but to be honest surprisingly not a lot of people got candy at mine as I had thought

    I love chocolate but was worried about it melting. It will probably be in the 80s and wedding and reception are outdoors.

    I would take from the candy bar! Especially if I could take it home in a bag!

    I would always take a bag of candy! I agree that it might be good to include sugar-free options
