We were thinking of having a 'help yourself' sweet buffet but having now discovered that the M&M shop has opened in London and doing some digging on the site, I notice that you can get a 1.5kg bag of personalised M&M's with your own message on them in two colours, there's an ivory one and a medium/dark green that is close enough to our hunter green. You can also buy them loose without a message but I can't find a price quite yet.
Would you stick with the various sweets to help yourself - being children of the seventies we were thinking refreshers, black jacks, cola bottles, chewits, shrimps, chocolate mice etc - or just have a big bowl of M&M's on the table that are replenished throughout the evening?
As we have about 120 guests for the evening, the M&M's work out at 62.5p per head, whereas the "mix and match" sweets I reckon would be about the same sort of price.
Any thoughts? Or are sweet buffets so last season now?
