Popcorn Wedding Favors & Candy Buffets
Most wedding favors end up left on the table. Popcorn doesn't. Kernels & Kandies makes bagged popcorn favors with custom tags and color-matched candy buffets — made fresh in Spearfish for weddings and parties across the Black Hills.
What we make
Bagged popcorn favors. Individual bags of any flavor, with custom tags — names, date, a line that means something to you. Kettle Corn is the crowd-safest pick; Chicago Style is the one guests talk about.
Candy buffets. The scoop-your-own wall, scaled to your reception: jars and scoops of candy matched to your colors, so the favor table doubles as decor. Guests fill a bag on the way out and it's the favor.
The combination. Popcorn favors on the tables, candy buffet by the door. It photographs well and nothing goes home uneaten.
How far ahead to call
Favors are custom work, so the earlier the better — call 605-340-0470 once you have a date and a headcount range. Because everything is popped in small batches, large favor runs need about a week's notice at minimum, and custom tag work adds time on top.
If your date is in a busy season — summer wedding months, rally week, December — build in extra room.
Rehearsal dinners, showers and birthday parties too
Everything on this page works for rehearsal dinners, bridal and baby showers, graduation parties, milestone birthdays and anniversary parties. If it has tables and guests, we can put a favor on it.
Feeding a crowd instead? The 12-bag party box ($72) is the fast option, and for a wedding gift for out-of-town guests we ship to all 50 states.
Wedding & party favor questions
Do you make popcorn wedding favors?
Yes — Kernels & Kandies in Spearfish, SD makes individual bagged popcorn favors in any of our 40+ flavors with custom tags, plus color-matched candy buffets for receptions. Call 605-340-0470 with your date and headcount to get a quote.
Can the favors match our wedding colors?
Yes. Candy buffets are built around your colors, and several popcorn flavors — like the confetti-sprinkled Kornfetti — are naturally photogenic. Custom favor tags carry your names and date. Tell us your palette when you call and we'll tell you honestly what matches.
How far in advance should we order wedding favors?
As early as you can once you have a date and headcount range. Favor runs need about a week's notice minimum because we pop in small batches, custom tags add lead time, and busy seasons — summer weddings, rally week, December — need extra room. Call 605-340-0470.
What does a candy buffet include?
A spread of scoop-your-own candy matched to your event colors — jars, scoops and bags so guests fill their own favor on the way out. It's built from our shop's candy wall: taffy, sours, gummies, chocolates and more. Call 605-340-0470 with your headcount for pricing.
Do you do favors for parties other than weddings?
Yes — rehearsal dinners, showers, graduations, birthdays and anniversaries all work the same way. For a simpler option that feeds a crowd, the 12-bag party box is $72, and gifts for out-of-town guests ship nationwide with a gift message.
