Candy Buffet and OOT baskets

Hi Everyone-

If anyone did a candy buffet as a favor- about how much did it cost? Got a lot of quotes for different vendors this week and I am trying to work on our budget. Can you send pics to if you have any.

Also, what did you put in out of town guest baskets and how much should I plan on spending around? Do you give one for every room? What if friends are sharing rooms?

Thanks!

I am thinking of doing a candy bar, but a very small one. We are having the cake served as a trio: cake, choc. covered strawberry and something else, then we are having the choc fountain for dipping, then I am setting up 3 huge apothecary jars with all white candies, have not decided on all yet, but one will surely be customized m&m's with our names, colors, will be white and silver. I have been thinking of white choc. covered pretzels, or yogurt, or maybe raisins.

OOT guest boxes, I am doing, I am using 9x6x6 gable boxes. I am putting labels on them tied with 2 ribbons with a little tag. They will have 2-4 waters (depending upon how many in room), advil, tylenol, alka selzter, snacks, candy, crackers, something choc. bottle of wine (if i have left over from favors) plus all the info for the weekends events.
I dont want to spend too much either, i have a 60 room block, 40 have booked already and invites havent gone out yet, but i figure i will be doing closer to 60.
If you have any other questions, feel free to FM me. For the little travel things i found a great site, i think its minimus.com. if thats not it, its similiar to that. Good luck
