How many different types....

It might depend on what you plan on displaying them in - if they are large containers / dishes then you will need more of one kind of sweet but if you have smaller dishes you might need more variety (or you could double up)

Thanks Dabbott. Well i haven't quite sorted all the containers yet i have some small glass jars and need vase type ones too. Was just going to use medium size really i think. I just can't decide what is best.

This was our sweetie table for our engagement party

Gosh i love that it is brilliant. You have lots of sweets and jars etc. I can't imagine mine looking anywhere as good as that. Where did you get all the jars and scoops etc?

I have to confess I didn't do it myself, my aunty did She got all the dishes and scoops off ebay tho

She is very good can she come and do mine :0) I will have a nose on ebay and see what i see there. Thank you.

I had 18 different types of sweets on our table this was our mock up

Dani1984- yes i remember seeing yours before i like this. Looks good. I have jars like the ones you had your cherries in i think i have 4 and need to get some more. May get glass square vases and round bowls too. I think i will aim for 10 different sweets and then we will have the choc fountain too. I just don't want it to look sparse or stingy that's all.

it went down really well, we had about 130 in the evening all together not that many children so plenty of adults! we knew that all our lot would eat plenty,
