What are you using for favor bags for a candy buffet?

Heather, on April 3, 2016 at 10:40 AM Posted in Planning 0 16

I like the idea of a candy buffet so we are thinking about doing one at our wedding for favors but I was curious what you used for the guest to put the candy in to take home? I don't want to get something to big because I can see kids and even some adults up at the buffet filling up bags and bags of candy.. I'm worried there wouldn't be enough for everyone that wanted some if people did this..

    For birthday parties I go to oriental trading and get the small looking chineese take out boxes and you can also customize it and they are great kind of small so even though they fill the box up its not alot that goes in there. I'm planning on getting those for our wedding as well and they are fairly cheap

    We got round candy bags at Michaels, I think they were in packages of 25, around $5 each.

    If you go to etsy, you can get custom printed favor bags. They are the perfect size for candy, and come in all colors. Price for 100 bags: $67.50-80.

    I meant 150 bags, not 100.

    I found nice wedding cellophane bags at Oriental Trading and had stickers with our name and date and "Thank you" (also by OT) to close them after guests filled them.

    I got 100 clear bags from Michaels in the baking section. Filled mine with candy and tied up with a ribbon. Also ordered custom stickers to put on the front of the bag too. But I pre filled- not a buffet!

    I saw some really cute ones with heart see through shapes on the boxes, at Walmart.

    I bought what looks like little shopping bags from Oriental trading. I then bought small basket bags for them to seal them in.

    I'm doing one for my bridal shower. Since it's Tangled themed I got purple bags from Oriental Trading and I'm going to use a stencil to paint on the golden sun logo. But on top of desserts and cookies I don't think too many people will raid the candy bar.
