Perhaps, you are trying to find a theme for your
next birthday party, graduation, anniversary, kids party, or even a retirement
party. One popular type of party theme that is still going strong today is the
candy buffet party. The fact is that you do not have to hire a professional
party planner to design a candy buffet party. All it takes is a little bit of
knowledge and a lot of planning. Here is more to consider.
Select A Color Scheme
To get started with your candy buffet, set up a
color scheme. This will make the entire process go smoothly. If you are
planning a party for kids, you might decide to select their favorite color. For
example, a young teen girl that loves pink, lavender, and lots of pastel
colors. Candies in pastel colors would fit perfectly. A more sophisticated
older adult might prefer monotone or dark chocolate with white themed party.
Supply the party with plenty of dark chocolates, milk chocolates, and white
chocolate. Of course, a rainbow theme would be perfect for a kids party. Supply
candies in every color that is imaginable.
Select Candy To Fit The Theme
The next step in setting up the candy buffet is
to select the right type of candy to fit the theme. Don't forget to purchase
candy boxes to fill up and let your party guest take them home. Make your candy
display look dazzling and delicious by selecting a wide variety of candies in
different sizes, colors, shapes, and textures. This will make the sweet treats
very memorable to the guests. Make sure to purchase about 1/2 pound of candy
for each guest. Purchase the candy in bulk for extra savings. Here are a few
types of candy to consider for your candy buffet.
- Lollipops
- Gummy Candy
- Chocolates
- Taffy
- Gumballs
- Marshmallows
- Malt Bals
The Setup
Displaying your candy is part of the fun. Use
your own creativity and imagination to set up the candy display. Display the
candy in jars, bowls, dishes, trays, glasses, straw baskets. Make sure that the
candy is displayed at various heights to add interest. For example, you might
wish to use pedestals, candy boxes, cake boxes, trays, or jars in various
heights. Place the candy on a display table that is covered in a neutral toned
table cloth. Keep the backdrop simple and let the candy be the main focus.
However, it's also advisable to get creative and add streamers, balloons,
garland, paper lanterns, and other glittery displays to jazz it up a bit.
Adding Extras
Party guests are going to be dazzled by the
candy. Adding a few extras will really make the candy display pop. For example,
for a kids party, add stuffed animals, confetti, streamers, garland, toys. If
the party is for a birthday, add the name of the person celebrating the
birthday in big foam letters, add their picture, ribbons, balloons, cards, and
party ornaments.
Designing a candy buffet is fun. All it takes is
a little bit of patience and creativity to get the party started. The information
used here is to inspire you to get started by employing your own creativity and
imagination to bring about a real grand celebration for all.
