  • Organization: Be very attentive when arranging all the sugar items in trays and jars and at different heights to make them accessible to the guests.
  • Glass jars: The colors are up to the sweets and, therefore, bet on glass stands that will enhance the decoration and, of course, all the sweets, candies, and chocolates.
  • Temperature: Be careful not to expose the table to the sun or high temperatures that can melt the sweets and chocolates. Opt for a shaded space and, preferably, with good air circulation.
  • Quantity: In order not to have too little or too many sweets, you should calculate an average of four sweets per person, i.e. a sweets table for 100 guests should have at least 400 sweets.
  • Decoration: To complement the candy table arrangement, bet on ornaments that refer to the party's theme, in case it's a children's party, or in vases with flower arrangements for more sophisticated events.
  • Location: you can create this candy table where the cake is or create a dedicated space just for these sweets, but keep everything in close proximity.
