Reception Right-On: The Candy Bar

The candy bar has been something that has been very popular over the past few years, but I don’t see it fading out anytime soon! It’s not difficult to make a candy bar unique to your event. All of the different colors, types, and designs you can use can really give your candy bar a signature look.

The best part-guests LOVE candy bars!

Here are some examples from weddings I’ve done recently:

Looking for something other than a candy bar?

1.) A S'mores Bar!
Very messy, but guests love it!  Same idea as the candy bar with all of your ingredients in the jars.  Then you have an area at the end of the line where the guests can either roast the marshmallow themselves or you can have an attendant to make the s'more for them.

2.) Sundae Station
Most venues can set this up for you and make it look really nice!  This way, you don't have to worry about the transport of the ice cream.  The venue will usually provide toppings, but you can add flare with extras you can bring.

3.) Cookies
Did that just sound completely boring when I said cookies?  NO WAY!  I've seen a truly fantastic cookies and milk bar.  It may sound lame, but it's all in the presentation.  And who doesn't love cookies and milk?  I've also seen really great cookies that are placed on sticks and wrapped in cellophane to look like lollipops.  Very bright and colorful!
