Dessert/Chocolate Bar at Reception

So...how does this work?

Do I buy the bowls and chocolate and have the RH set it up? How many varieties should I have?

Has anyone done this or are doing this?

I've heard that to avoid it looking tacky, you want less bowls with more stuff in them.

One thing i read said to figure on a pound of chocolate for every 2-3 guests. They also recommended each canister you use should hold about 8-10 pounds of candy. It seems like alot, so if you want more variety go with smaller canisters

I am having 140 ppl, so I am going to have 60 lbs of candy. That means I am going to have 6 different types of candy offered. The RH said they will refill the bowls as needed and the guests take from them.

Check with your RH about how they will help you. My RH said I need to bring the candy and all bowls and scoopers with each bowl clearly labelled as to which candy I want in it. They will take care of the rest.
