A friend of mine threw a baby shower for a fellow co-worker and had a pretty different sort of idea. She put together a candy/treat bar and the guests could make a treat baggie to take home to their families before they left. I know that my kids always feel left out when I go to a baby shower, and they were very excited when I brought them home treats! I just thought I would share the idea. Oh yeah, I did the cake and cookie bouquets for this shower in the photos.

That's such a great idea! Thanks for sharing

What a fun idea! I will keep that in mind for the next party I have. By the way, your cake and cookie bouquets are beautiful!

Yes it is a great idea!! And it looks lovely, too!

How sweet! And your cake and cookies look great too.

Thank you!

Thanks I think that's a good idea.

Cool! That is a neat idea!!

We actually do these for weddings but on a bigger scale. We get small white (paper) bags and stamp a wedding design on them and maybe personalize.

My favorite candy bowl design in our candy buffet is the large martini glass (from Michael's). We put some kind of red candy in it--like hot tamales and then around the edge of the glass, we use the peach ring candies--cut on side and slip that over the edge. Do this all the way around the edge of the glass and it looks like a shrimp cocktail.
