    edited Thought I would share, in case other brides are big kids at heart. We are having a candy/sweet station, ive been looking for something to amuse the kids, other than just the actual sweets. Just found on bay of e a candy grabber for £12.99 with free p+p. Bargain as my kids/neices and nephews will make good use of it after the wedding. Imagine the sweet/jewellery grabbers you used to get at fairgrounds/arcades but on a smaller scale, perfect size for a table. It comes with a big bag of tokens, so kids (and probably big kids) can have a go at the candy station. Also now looking for a gumball machine to fill with sweets.

    Really want to make the candy station fun so if any one has any other ideas for dispensers/containers other than the normal glass jars Id be very grateful. xxx

    they have mini gumball machines in most pound shops, and they are ideal for childrens favours :) they are probably about 10inch high x

    Fill them with malteasers or those aero balls you get can can now.
    You can pick those gumball machines up so cheaply near Christmas at BH.....S about £4.

    Pinatas are great fun!
    Or a sweetie lucky dip, or hoopla the hoop over the sweets! We did that at school and the kids LOVED it.
    Maybe a decorating biscuits (with sweets) activity x
