Candy Stations

LIFE IS SHORT…….EAT CANDY!

Are you looking for something edible, something sweet, or to give your guests something tasty to eat? Then this could be the perfect thing for you!

Candy dates way back to the ancient times when caveman roamed the earth where they used to snack on sweet honey straight from the bee hives. The first candy confections can be dated back 3500 years ago when the ancient Egyptians used fruit and nuts to combine with honey to make their own form of candy. However, on the other hand the cocoa bean, which is used for making chocolate, was prized by the Mayans and Aztecs but was re-discovered in 1519 by Spanish explorers in Mexico.

With candy stations becoming the highlight of most events and weddings it becomes very important for you to display it beautifully, to be creative, and to think outside of the box as much as possible so that your guests want to rush over to that table.

To make your table eye catching you will need different types of vases and sizes, containers and trays, bulk candy, and boxes to create different heights. When you set the station make sure it is a round table rather than a rectangle as your guests can approach it more easily from all over. What comes in handy and is a must at any station are little packets, any of your choice, so that the guests can have something to put the sweets into and as take-aways. You could even have a box or basket, filled with your choice of packets, ribbon, and a pen or labeling so that the guests can create their own packaging and so they can also feel involved in something. Whatever you decide it is bound to be fun!

Something you should watch out for when having a candy station present is to always have a designated person who can keep an eye on the station and to refill it when needed, depending on the quantity of sweets you have. 

Candy stations are taking the events and weddings to a whole new level –forget old, traditional ways, It’s time to sweeten up your special day!
