Candy Station
A candy station practically takes away all the DIY and leaves you with a really sweet wedding favor. Just fill up serving vessels with your favorite sugary treats and arrange on a table. We love the idea of mini Chinese take containers, but a small doggie bag with your names and and wedding date stamped on the front will work just fine!
