Candy Labels
Labeling each candy and dessert selection helps
the guests know what they’re getting, but also
adds a decorative touch. You can even trim the
containers in ribbon and add other decorative
accents to the table, such as a centerpiece,
pretty linens, embellishments, and more.
What You’ll Need:
• Ribbon
• Card Stock Paper
• Oval Tag Template (see page 4)
• Scissors
• Craft Glue
• For an eye-catching display, use different sized • Double-Sided Tape
containers to create height and depth that
will give your table a unique look. If using
unwrapped candy, be sure your containers
are safe for food.
• While it’s not a must, most brides choose
candy and desserts that complement their
color scheme. Use several colors together,
or different hues and shades of a single color.
It also adds interest to use a variety of different
candies (both wrapped and unwrapped), that
have different textures and designs. This makes
the table fun to look at, and the candy fun to eat. Candy & Dessert Labels
