A candy table is another entertaining and attractive way of making any party sweeter. These tables can be used as a decorative center and a sweets booth. Candies can be served in glass jars, bowls, or tiered trays with a matching or similar color. The addition of labels, scoops, and treat bags will make the arrangement interactive for the guests. The table is also festive with themes such as pastel candies on baby showers, gold and white on weddings, and bright, bold colors on birthdays.
The display can be augmented with decorative backdrops, balloons, or string lights. The variety is achieved through a combination of various textures- gummies, chocolates, lollipops, and hard candy. Candy tables are not only enjoyable to quell the urge to eat candy, but they also make occasions happy and memorable.
