i want to do one - but we have to see where our budget is as the date gets closer.

walmart has some good glass, so does michael's.

for the candy - we'd do our favorites - we won't be going with a color theme - but some girls do...

you can get containers anywhere from walmart to tjmaxx to online wholesalers.

fill them with candy that matches your theme color! if youre having red those red hots are cute or you can do conversation hearts....or customized m&ms that have your initals and wedding date on them!

yeahhh thats true!! i guess i need to pay a visit to my RH and discuss this stuff to see if t here will be a place to put it!! i am having the cake and ice cream bar but i am assuming some people do all the stuff they offer the ice cream the vinease (sp) and the chocolate fountain so they should have room for one more table! i am tottaly in love with the lil containers from ac moore that look like chinease t o go boxes. i wanna use them for the candy!

yeahhh i am deff gonna ask before i go and buy all this stuff for no reason! Steven is an m&m freak so i was thinking of doing a bunch of diffrent m&m`s single color per container. and then some other candies as well. after i find out if this is cool with my RH i need to see the sizes you are using. i`m sooo oblivious about this stuff.


thanks fran ♥

We're definitely doing it. I have a bunch of glass vases, fishbowls and huge martini and wine glasses to fill up. Since one of my colors is pink, we loaded up on a lot of candy that they had out for Breast Cancer Awareness-- kisses, m&m, peppermint patties.
