My husband and I started planning our youngest son’s first birthday party around July 2013. Since candy buffet is the newest trend in birthday parties back home, I wanted one for my son’s party. It would be his way of saying thank you to the guest for attending his party.
After days of searching for a supplier, I realized there are few candy buffet suppliers here in Dubai and they are not affordable. I told my husband that we will just make our own candy buffet. I really thought it was easy.
We started searching for the appropriate jars/glasswares in different stores. We also bought candy scoopers, candy bags, tongs, tablecloth and accessories to make the table look attractive. We went to supermarket/groceries and compared who offers the candies we want in cheaper prices. The prices are not reasonable since we need at least 7 kilograms of those candies. I spend the next days searching for a supplier that offers those candies in bulk quantities and lower prices. Luckily, I found one after two weeks of searching.
I can’t remember how the conversation started, I just find myself discussing to my husband how we can turn this candy buffet into a business. We have all the things we need, and we know where to get the candies. I told him no one offers this kind of services yet, and I wanted other people to experience having candy buffet at their parties at reasonable price. I’ve always wanted to be part of the events planning business, and this is my chance. I have so many ideas running through my mind, and the thought of setting-up candy buffet tables for clients excites me.
