Glad I could help!

I've been looking at lots of pictures on Pinterest for ideas. There are very few that look kid-like. As long as it's set up in a way and has decor around it, I think it'll be fine.

This is amazing, it's practically the same as ours. Most of the opinions I got from my wedding party were to keep the candy bar, so I'll just reduce the size of it to make sure it's all eaten.

We had a candy bar at our wedding and it was a huge hit!

It officially opened after dinner, and stayed open the rest of the night. The only thing left were some mints. We had little bags that people could fill up and take home with them. I made sure to do popular candy instead of colour coordinated fancy candies.

We had a cocktail hour with hot/cold appetizers, a four course meal, and a late night snack with cake/desserts.

I only stocked it up once in large glass vases/containers (I wanted to make sure there were no leftovers)

My wedding only had five people under the age of 18.

We also did M&Ms as favours, and I still had a little box filled with M&Ms on each table.

I think if you just make a small candy bar instead of a big one things will be fine. People always like foods they can pick at throughout the evening.

My mom does a candy bar every year for her fancy association banquet and after appies, drinks, buffet and dessert everyone still gets super excited to stuff a bag full of candy to take home. Many take extras for their kids and such and those who drink go crazy and take a ton :p Ive always thought it was a safe bet...candy stays good a long time and are easy to transport.

It sounds like you have a lot of food and we're both in the same boat! I was debating doing a sweets table (pastries and such) but think I might have to give that idea up as I don't think it will get touched.

If you really like the idea of a candy bar you can still do one, but with less treats on it, just downsize it a bit!

Otherwise, think of it as a way to save money and just do the candy for our favours!

Hey, maybe instead of a candy bar. Turn them in to wedding favours for your guests if you don't already. My bride also wants a candy bar but worry be to much.

I am also interested in this post. The issue I’m having is how to set it up without it looking like a kids birthday corner. I will also have doughnuts at the same table.

Nothing wrong with candy candy left overs!! 😊

We are doing a candy and chocolate table with little burlap bags for our guests to take as favours. It will be set up from the beginning so people can help themselves throughout the reception
