ADVICE FROM A PRO

Matt’s tip

Matt James professional event planner

“While these areโ€”without doubtโ€”a far more original way to serve candy on a dessert table than in traditional apothecary jars, they also double really well as a centerpiece for you to build your display around.

Whether you fill each letter / number with a single type / color of candy or an assortment of different candy, these fillable acrylic letters will definitely create an eye-catching feature that guests will surely want to photograph.

For added wow-factor, consider filling them with these custom photo personalized M&M’s to surprise guests when they reach for a handful and find a them printed with an image of the guest of honor.

Alternatively, treat guests to a nostalgic walk down memory lane by using this retro candy from the decade the guest of honor was born; perfect for milestone birthdays and anniversaries.

Of course, you can also fill them with other other dessert table treats, such as cake truffles, chocolate truffles, freeze-dried candy, gourmet marshmallows, custom photo marshmallows, and boozy marshmallows, or with savory and/or ‘filler’ items, such as boozy popcorn, gourmet savory popcorn, gourmet sweet popcorn, nuts / trail mix, pretzels, wasabi peas, and crackers.

Or just fill them with decorative items, such as artificial flowers (see links below), petals, leaves, or any small objects that might re-enforce your party theme.”
