I love these candies and I want to use these at my wedding favors. I remember getting these candies when I would fly TWA in the 80’s. Anyway we can’t come up with out to put these out for the guest. I want them on the place settings b/c I don’t have room for a separate table. Should I wrap them in tulle? Get favor bags? I’m really at a lost….please give me some ideas…thanks
My wedding colors are cranberry, ivory and gold. The wedding is in January.

I used to buy a box of those every year for my brother. We both loved them!
Hmmm…how many are you thinking of giving to each person? I’d say anywhere from 1 - 3 at least…
You could wrap a ribbon around a group of them (two or three), then stick the ribbon into a corner of the seating card.
They’re individually wrapped, so you could glue one or two to the card itself.
You could ask the venue to simply lay them at each place setting, and put a little note on top.
(You may want to look around for a better price. I found them at Oriental Trading Company slightly cheaper, but I know I used to buy them for about $10/box.)

Ah-ha! If you’re going to be taking them out of the box, who cares what the box looks like, right? Hanukkah Candy Sticks:

You write: I don’t have room for a separate table.
Not even a small candy table? A candy buffet would be so fun.

I would take two or three sticks and use a ribbon to tie them together, attaching also a pair of aluminum wedding rings or plastic wedding rings. Set them at each place setting. Ribbon is a heck of a lot cheaper than tulle bags or anything. They already have wrappers, so they won’t get dirty or anything.
Use ribbons in your colors (of course).

Why don’t you get little candy bags with gold hearts on the outside. Tie it off with gold/cranberry ribbon. If you want you could also attach name cards to each ribbon.
I changed my mind I like Treasa’s idea better but use fake gold rings.

You can do several things.
* Buy tulle or organza bags. You’ll have to buy larger ones since the candies are longer so they fit. You can top it off with a little card saying thanks.
* Tie a few with ribbon in your color. You can either do this with personalized ribbons or take ribbon and again, a little card and tie it all off.
