Candy Buffet Questions

So I'm toying with the idea of doing a candy buffet because both Fh and I are real sweets lovers. He's more of a candy lover and I'm more of a chocolate lover.

I have a few questions for those of you who did or are planning to do a candy buffet:

1 - Where did you guys get your jars?

2 - How many jars of candy did you put out?

3 - Where did you buy the containers/bags?

4 - Did you put your monogram on it?

5 - Where did you buy your candy?

I would ask your RH. Sometimes they have the bowls, jars, containers to use. We are doing a candy and the NRC has offered up their containers for us to use. We will most likely but 1/2 pint takeout containers fron Uline. Their prices seem very reasonable. They also have bags and other fun things to choose from. Not sure where I'm getting the candy, but they will all be fall-like (candy corn, etc.) HTH!

Where is Uline located?

Thank you it was helpful I'll give JT a call and ask if I can use their containers...if they have them.
