So timely as little snowflakes float by my window...Thanks to Angela at Sweetie Pie Productions for passing along these pics of snowflake cookies all snug in their boxes ready to head home with the guests!  She adorned the boxes with our Eat, Drink and Be Married stickies.

Visit the entire Wintery Dessert Buffet album on her Facebook Page ~ it was like a winter wonderland!

A chic little candy buffet looks complete with perfectly hung tags ~ but wrangling them into place can be tricky.  Here are some of my go-to ways that work with a variety of containers.

1. THE FRONT KNOT - a neat, tidy look that keeps tags flat. Hole punch the tag and bring both ends of the ribbon through the hole.  Then knot or make a bow!
2. AROUND THE KNOB - For covered containers like apothecary jars, a quick bow around the knob is easy!
3. RIBBON LOOP - To give some variety, another option with a lidded jar is to cross the ribbon around the knob (think awareness-ribbon style) Secure the ribbon and label with a piece of double-stick tape.
4. SIDE SLIP THRU - Make a small slice at either end of your label and slip through the ribbon. Use a bit of double stick tape to hide one end under the other for a seamless look, or tie off with a bow. For a twist, swing the bow around to one side of the label.
5. TOP SLIP THRU - Heavier ribbon hangs nicely works better here. Slip the ribbon through slices similar to above only vertically.  Stick a little excess ribbon into the jar and weigh down with candy, or a touch of tape to the inside of the glass works.
6. THE BASIC - The most simple technique is threading a ribbon through a hole punched tag and tying around the back of the jar.  A head's up with this method that sometimes making tags lay flat takes some tweaking!   XOXO
 

This VERY mini cake stand asked to come home with me last weekend.  Sometimes the tinier the cuter! They came in white, baby blue, pink and minty green.  What is it about cake stands? They're just so girlie and scream celebrate.  Even one little perfect cherry looks precious...

But let's be honest, it's probably better meant for single divine cupcake or a homemade oatmeal cookie! 

The pedestal is from the "Petite Treat" line from a brand called Rosanna.  I decided to look them up and  stumbled upon a company after my own heart that displayed a collection of vintage pedestals, compotes and domes.  For those of you creating your own dessert tables this place might be worth checking out!

Seems like you can never really go wrong with stripes!  Check out these recent orders. I can only imagine how cute they'll look once set up at the candy bars!  Thanks to my recent orders!  Stripes can be found on the Stripes Design listing, the Printable Sign listing and the Candy Bar Tags listing.

Liz & Keith and Nancy & Jonathan both shared a love of navy stripes AND a wedding date!
Melisa picked baby blue stripes for her candy bar tags.

Angela and Gary are going to for red and white stripes at the candy buffet bar!

Tarissa is hosting a Candyland party complete with colored tags for the candy bar and favors.

Meegan chose lemon yellow stripes for her candy sign and favor labels.

Tags are a great addition to the jars or vases at your Candy Buffet /Bar. It's a simple detail but keeps your color theme going and adds that finishing! And they tell your guests exactly what sweet treats await them!

This Etsy Listing is for a Set of 12 Round Hole-Punched Tags. Just send me the text! Don't have 12? You'll still receive the leftovers and can use them for whatever you'd like.
