A wedding candy buffet is only complete when you add a few poems for letting guests know to sample these delectable treats. Choose from a few poem examples or write your own for the candy buffet.
Poem Examples
While many candy poems are displayed on the buffet table, you can also print them in the wedding reception program or menu. Though most poems are simply an invitation for guests to enjoy the candy bar for the wedding reception, couples that are more creative might write individual poems or couplets that describe each type of candy available. Place the poem in a clear plastic frame next on both ends of the table, and even in the center of the table, if your buffet is long.
Sample 1
Because our day has been so sweet,
We ask that you please take a treat.
Help yourself to a favor of candy-
Try them all, they taste just dandy!
Sample 2
On the day we said "I do"
We'd like to share our favorite chocolate dishes
Take some home with Sara and Sam's best wishes
For it's our way of saying "Thank you!"
Sample 3
The Smiths are sharing their candy
And have left some boxes quite handy
Snag your favorites real fast
The best are not likely to last
For they are all deliciously dandy!
Sample 4
We'd like to share some love
With our guests who are over and above
Enjoy the wedding candy selection
Remember, you are all our beloved.
Sample 5
Give yourself a heaping spoonful
And partake in the sweet candy buffet
It's our way to say thank you
On our bright and glorious wedding day.
