Bulk Candy for Weddings

Favour tables and dragée quantities

Confetti dragées and sugared almonds are the classic wedding favour, and the feed above is filtered to those bulk lines. Order by the case so a whole favour table is covered by a single predictable purchase.

For a styled dessert display rather than individual favours, see candy buffets; to coordinate a palette, browse candy by colour.

How much candy do I need for a wedding favour table?

Plan a set number of pieces per guest for individual favours, or roughly 100 g per guest for an open display, then round up to full cases.

Weddings use candy in more places than people expect: the candy buffet, the favors, the late-night snack table, and the welcome bags for out-of-town guests. Each of those wants a fair amount of candy, which is why couples and planners buy it in bulk rather than clearing out retail shelves a bag at a time.

Color is usually the organizing principle. Buying by color lets you match the wedding palette across several categories, so the buffet and favors feel coordinated. Adding a few imported pieces — European chocolates or a regional specialty tied to the couple’s heritage — turns a generic table into something guests remember.

Estimating quantities

For a sampling buffet, plan for roughly a quarter to half a pound of candy per guest, and more if it doubles as the favor. Favors are easier to scale when each one uses a fixed count of wrapped pieces. Order by the case to match the guest list, and request a quote for large weddings so pricing and freight are settled in advance.
