Candy Buffet!

Rob and I love candy, so it's only obvious to add this flair to the wedding! I have been reading a post on the Disney World budget board on how to efficently and cheaply do this. I found a web site called groovycandies.com listed on there for their fresh candy and reasonable rates. I think I am going to do mostly blue candy to include: rock candy, blueberry now and laters, blueberry laffy taffy, blueberry sour punch straws, in addition, I am going to have multi colored swirly pops shaped like hearts, dum dums, and pixie sticks as well as mine and Rob's favorite... sour patch kids!! of course the blue stuff will most likely have to be ordered off line, I plan on getting the rest at Sam's. For the buffet I intend on using a 6 or 8ft rectangular table with a blue table cloth and two of our chocolate runners (Rob's mother is making our runners, while his aunt or my cousin will be embodering them with our new "C") with the "C" facing outward on each, they will drape widith wise rather than length wise on this special table. I plan on collecting a variety of glass containers from the good will stores to the dollar stores, to places like old time pottery. Rob's parents antique like crazy and want to be throughly involved in planning! I also plan on using the dum dums to make christmas like tress or even topiaries, (foam in blue or brown plant pot, foam spray painted blue with candy covering it, brown stick wrapped in ribbon in the center of pot, foam ball on top, ball with lollipop sticks in it, volia topairey)

I love the idea of the wooden "love" this is so easy a caveman could do it, I actually did my name like this not too long ago. Just buy the letters, maybe a dollar a piece? and paint them with arylic paints. I love those jars and I hope I will find some like it. Hope to make a sign that reads:

"How Sweet it is to be loved by you!

Thanks for sharing our special day,

and now that you are on your way,

take some treats to remember this day!

With love, Mir & Rob"

Corny but I'll tweak it!
