Jars for sweetie buffet

Do you have an IKEA near you? Mine all came from there and were £1 each.

I vote IKEA to, I got my wedding favour jars from there, very well priced.

I am doing this too and started collecting jars, dishes etc months ago. I now have sooooo many jars so just keeping them stored until September to then sell after the honeymoon.

I got 4 from Poundland, about 4 from Sainsburys which were a bit bigger and then the rest I have been collecting from charity shops and also from going to a few car boot sales (which I managed to find some great buys). I think overall I have spent about £35-£40.

I also got some tongs and scoops from a cheap sell everything shop in Twickenham.

I have ordered my sweets from Funky Monkey which were a good price and I have brought some bags from Amazon (think they were like £2.00 per 100)

Hope that helps.

Same here, all from Ikea £1 each

Mine are from the Range but I'm borrowing them from a friend. Oversized Martini, brandy, wine glasses. In fact, here is a flash of my friends wedding sweet buffet! I'm sure they won't mind me flashing.

Asda have them for £1 each. x

Brilliant! Thanks ladies, think I'll give Ikea a go and try the supermarkets. I have been saving jam jars etc but I think they look really boring now!

Luckily my OH works at a cash and carry so can get us the sweets for a good price.

Jalapeno: your friend's buffet looks lovely!

I was thinking of Ikea and maybe using vases rather than jars. Can re-use them or sell them then.

Somebody mentioned vases to me the other day andI was thinking that might look daft! However I googled some pics of sweetie buffets and some jars look like they could be vases so I'm with you there Jo!

I wanted jars with plunge lids like in the sweetie shops, doug egberts jars just so happen to be our coffee of choice and we have the family collecting for us too! think they will look awesome lol

I'm using three different sizes of Kilner jars because I'm a little bit odd and have to have order......I'm a fun person really ;-)

Ikea for sure

Another vote for IKEA £1 jars.

I decorated the lids with the sweet name to personalise them to our colourscheme a bit.

I got 20 1oz jars for £23 from amazon

My wedding has a vintage theme so my BM who is a huge attender of car boots and charity shops has been picking me up some vintage bowls and jars, all for around 20p each. I got my scoops from an ebay shop very cheap. Thinking of going to makro for the sweets.

Excellent! Might have to pop down to my local car boot and have a look!

Similar sort of cash and carry to where my OH works, think thats the best option really as you get to have a good look at the sweets and decide which are my fave!
