MariannNOVA Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 But the candy was white too. ;) Adorable. :D I tried to stick to silver and white since it was their silver anniversary.....and then I threw in some color to make it interesting, WHICH, as I sprinkled pink confetti around, I realized was an excellent idea. It really made everything else pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dulcimeramy Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 I thought your pictures were so good that I googled 'candy buffet' to see if this is a real thing that is a trend now. (It is. LOL) Anyway, people do indeed have candy buffet businesses! The ones that seem to be successful have lovely photo galleries of their work and offer several themes. Beautiful photos, beautiful children, it sounds like a really special day. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariannNOVA Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 Amazing children and gorgeous party! You are so kind -- thank you! my kids LOVE to get dressed up and go to fancy parties. DH and I told them they each had to eat at least 3 different kinds of protein b4 they were allowed to go to the candy buffet.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the guests told me that if I don't start a business, she is going to drive to Va from Connecticut and hit me over the head. I have never seen anyone in Va advertise -- it probably is something I should do. I totally LOVE this kind of stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 My kids would be buzzing with a candy buffet. For days, if not weeks. My kids are cute, but no kid is cute enough for a week solid sugar high. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My kids are cute, but no kid is cute enough for a week solid sugar high. :tongue_smilie: Suffice to say, we paid for it this afternoon when we got home. And, today I will still see the effects of the sugar -- I've been having them drink lots of water but sugar is such a NO-NO for them. And they were around the buffet like buzzards on road kill once they figured out exactly what I was doing.:toetap05: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Hmmm...I wonder... What would happen, do you think, at an adult only party w/free flowing booze, candy buffet...maybe a few kilts...Would the grown ups get as buzzed as kids? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't it funny that they matched the buffet?????:lol: Total accident -- dh took dd12 for her dress as I was getting my hair highlighted, and when they came home with a silver dress and a silver tie for d10, I thought how funny. DD10 wore silver shoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH helped her select the dress - he is very good at that stuff -- he took them to nordstrom's rack while i was at eliz arden and they came home with what they needed. The sandals, I found with her on Friday night -- we ran into NR two minutes before they closed and I saw them -- they are so cute! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
