Mitzvah Project Ideas
Tie your theme into a mitzvah project by donating to the needy in a country where cocoa or sugar cane is produced.
Do you have a favorite candy? Perhaps there's a way you can improve the lives of the workers in the factory that produces it. Maybe a scholarship or a contribution of books or toys to the factory day care center. Lots of sweet possibilities!

Centerpiece Ideas
Floral designer Julie Mulligan, from 1-800-Flowers, gets candy-theme bat and bar mitzvahs right with this bright, fun arrangement called "Tulips & Jelly Beans." And, yes, the jelly beans are edible! $60. Incidentally, this item is not available when tulips are out of season.
Here's another idea: artfully hot-glue large boxes of candy into sculptures, making each table dedicated to a different brand.
Or, fill tall glass columns with candy, a different variety for each table. You can leave the column open or top it with a floral or balloon centerpiece. To enhance the elegance, surround by lit votives in a variety of colors.
Simply fill a square glass with jelly beans and punctuate with tall candy on sticks, as shown here.

Placecard Ideas
Print out each guest's name on a tag which you ribbon tie around an actual bar, box or piece of candy. (Don't use chocolate on hot days, as it may melt.)
Assign each guest to a table named after a different candy. Affix or ribbon tie a tag or sticker showing the name of the candy on the placecard.
