Candy Buffet

We threw our son a 5th Birthday party this past weekend and decided to do another candy buffet instead of a traditional pinata or loot bags.
I transformed the dining room into Candy Land!
Family favorites were in every jar!
I purchased these sleek white frames for $.99 each at Ikea and made a few quick signs celebrating my babies 5th birthday celebration!
I labeled all the goodies (even if it was obvious what they were!)
{I was surprised that there were any jellybeans left when the guests finally arrived!  My husband was magnetically drawn to the jelly beans like bees to honey!!!}
Seriously, I had an abundance of five year olds that needed to know we just don't eat trinkets!  (I know- I am silly!)
I did have the kiddos fill up their goodie boxes as they left instead of lining them all us at once, as I usually do.  No matter how you slice it, it is always chaos!  But always worth it!
