Lollipop centerpieces in lots of colors - start as low as $24 for a table of 8 including candy, bows, vase and filler.

Cute little candy torahs made of Smartees and a customized label. 

Nothing makes guests happier than a tray full of cupcakes, even if you can't eat these. They're wonderfully realistic to get the party started with a "bam" of fun. With your choice of pink, white, chocolate or mint colored frosting and a topping of cherry or rhinestones!

Best of all, they can also be your party favors. Guests take them home to use as photo or memo holders. So all you need is a pretty bag or box to pop them into at the end of the party.

Interactive Entertainment Concepts, with locations from Boston to Baltimore, offers tons of candy-themed activities. Here are just a few: a sculptor who works in taffy, a process to put your guests' photos onto chocolate bars or onto a candy box, a dispense-your-own candy "sand" into tubes cart, a self-serve candy wall, candy crane game and giant M&M machine that lets you mix your own colors. Creative Event Services rents many of the same amusements from Boston to NJ.

This business, Sweet Facades, and their website have disappeared. We're keeping this photo in as inspiration to those do-it-yourselfers who might want to do this anyway. Anyone can print a label and stick it to a candy box to make it a placecard or party favor with a "Thank you for coming!" message on the front.

 

You more skilled people can scan the front of the box and make changes in Photoshop and print that artwork on the labels to replicate what Sweet Facades was doing.  Good luck!
