Are you going to do the cany bar as a favor or just in general??? It might be to much if it is for the reception.

I think that sounds like plenty, but if you have your heart set on it, then go for it.
I think cookies, ice cream, and wedding cake is plenty for dessert. I thought about doing a candy buffet but it was going to be way too costly. Unless its a service your RH would provide I would save the money on it and put towards favors....
im doing it cause i figured it sounds like a fun idea and i feel it would be a hit. but i also feel like after all the food the guests are gonna have eaten they probably wouldnt even wanna look at candy at that point. ill have to think bout this one

Would your reception hall let you bring your own??? If you go this week and get the leftover V-day candy or next v-day it might be cheaper and then you could still have it??

If that's the case, then you could def do it as the favors. Get little personalized bags that say 'thank you' for them to load up on their way out...

You just gave me the best idea, I should go and get sale valentines m&ms for my favors, do you think they will be good in a year? I'm not sure how long candy last...

I'll have to check that. A gal I work with brought in a bunch of candy bars from when her daughter was born in july. I threw the whole box out cause i didn't see a date on them. Last year I saw something on the news about stores saving valentines candy and selling them the next year and the candy had worms in it or something. So now I always check the dates if possible!

That sounds like a nice idea. You can never get enough sweets and if it's in your budget then go for it.

Can you do something where you have bags and the guests make their own bag of candy to take home? Because that would probably work out best since you have so many sweets already.

I went to look @ a RH that let you do a candy bar as an extra at the end..it cames with personilized bags..I hadn't thought of that as a favor just as something a bit different.
