How to Make Baby Shower Candy Favors
- 1). Decide what type of candy favors to make. Think about the containers to use, such as small white boxes, plastic baby bottles or clear containers. Determine how to embellish the containers with ribbons, stickers, stamps or a monogram. Make sure to buy enough supplies so each guest and the expectant mom receives a baby shower candy favor.
- 2). Select a candy. Match the candy with the type of container you will use. Consider candies in the shape of a baby's pacifier for plastic baby bottles. Use pink candy for girls and blue candy for boys with clear containers. If the expectant mom's favorite candy is unattractive to feature in a baby shower candy favor, use small white boxes.
- 3). Create a personalization for the baby shower candy favors. Design a monogram with the baby's initials and print it on stickers. Write a small note to the guests, thanking them for attending the shower and sharing in the occasion. Print these on card stock so they can be tied to the candy favors. Order personalized ribbon, with the baby or expectant mom's name and date of the shower, to tie around the baby shower candy favors.
- 4). Assemble the baby shower candy favors. Place the candies in the containers, but don't close them until you fill all of the containers. This makes it easier if you're a little short on candy or have a little left over. Close the containers and tie a decorative ribbon, attaching the note for baby shower guests. Place a monogram on the boxes if you made one.
- 5). Buy personalized candy bar wrappers. Save time and order personalized candy bar wrappers. Include the expectant mom's name, baby's name, date of the shower or a special design. These wrappers fit around the standard Hershey's bar. Hold the wrapper in place with a tiny piece of tape on the back.
