'Sweet' Baby Shower Favors

If you are planning a baby shower and need some sweet favor ideas - check these ideas out.

I love the cookie favors from Sugar Plum Fairy Sweets and Party Designs.  They offer one stop shopping for all of your party needs! Artisanal sweets, treats and edible favors!

I just might need to order fairy cookies from them for my daughters next birthday party!

I also like setting up a candy bar for guests to fill a bag or take out container of yummy goodies.  I set up this candy display for an all white baby shower.  There was a mix of men and women at this shower so offering candy was perfect for everyone.  

The key to a candy bar is consistency, tiered containers, ease of scooping out and bags or boxes for guests to put candy in.  You always want to do things in odd numbers - so 5 different candies.  If you are interested in a Candy Bar, contact us at That's My Kind of Party for help to set this up for your next party.  Prices start at $75.
