Candy Buffet question

I'm thinking of having a candy buffet, but I have no clue where to start...

For anyone that has done them, about how much total would it be between the candy & jars...approximately???

And what are good websites/companies to look at for the candy and for the bowls??

TIA

ESPO22 recently posted these websites. I don't know where the thread is but I copied and pasted the sites for the sweet 16 I'm planning.

here are a bunch of sites that sell candy in bulk, they are wholesale

Depends on the amount of people you are having at wed. But maybe 10 containers. I like the huge fancy looking bowls. (do a search on here for pics). Try these sites also for candy

www.ohnuts.com
www.candywarehouse.com
www.economycandy.com

candy warehouse worked well for me and
metro candy.
Good luck
