Start with the occasion
A casual dinner and a milestone celebration call for different things. Think about whether the candy will be a take-home favor, a table accent, or a treat to enjoy together.
Mix the familiar with the curious
Choose a few different visual styles or flavor impressions so there is something to talk about. A mix of bright and deeper colors can make a table feel lively without becoming busy.
Ask before you commit
Share your date, approximate quantity, and any dietary or allergy concerns when you inquire. Availability and timing should be confirmed before you plan around a particular candy.
