"Step Out" for Our New Arrival

A Baby Shower!

Whether you are hosting it for "just the girls" or you want to make it a couples shower—this theme works.

• Invitation: What's a more natural combination that babies and candy! Use one of our Custom candy bar wrappers as an invitation to your party. It's a special way to announce this special event.

• Sign-In Board: Take this invitation and blow it up to poster size for all to sign. Just place it on an easel at the entrance to the room, and tie off a pen with curling ribbon. Add a balloon bouquet (primary colors to match the invite) to bring attention to it, and you’re all set. It will not only serve as a piece of memorabilia but also as a festive welcome sign.

• Centerpieces: Go simple with balloons in primary colors (again to match the invitation—or pink for girls/blue for boys) with mylar weights (should cost $10-$15 from your local balloon company). To stylize the centerpiece, blow up the invitation at your local printer (in color), cut out the shoes and tie them off the center of the bouquet.

A little less traditional and more fun would centerpieces that are balloon pacifiers. Any local balloon company can do this for you; these are fabulous and your guests will marvel at how creative you are.

• Tabletop: Your local candy store is filled with items to use on the table. Pastel non-pareils work (they come in white chocolate accented in both pink and blue), so you might want to use them as confetti.

You may also want to scatter a bit of mylar confetti (baby booties and pacifiers are popular) in the color of your choice.

A plate (or two) of candy on each table is also very nice; white-chocolate covered pretzels drizzled with pink and blue make a great presentation (and they taste good, too). There are also chocolate rattles and other "baby" items you may want to scatter about.

• Other accoutrements: Single-use cameras on each table are available with a baby theme (they also come in pink and blue). They not only make it fun for those attending, but you end up with a lot of entertaining candid shots (and you didn’t even have to worry about the expense of a photographer).

Another great item are bubblegum cigars. Wrap one in each napkin (they come in pink and blue) for a fun party favor. Tie the napkin off with blue and/or pink curling ribbon.

• Activities:  You'll want to order our PACIFY THE BABY Game.   It's great fun and adds something different to the party.  What to use for prizes??! Chocolate pacifiers, baby shower fortune cookies and other inexpensive items.
