Sweet Treats Shower Decorations & Supplies

Sweet Treats Baby Shower Tips, Ideas, & Decorations

• When you invite guests, ask them to bring their favorite baked goods recipe from their childhood, written out on a recipe card. Let guests talk about why this dessert is their favorite as an icebreaker. Collect the cards and give to mom.
• Bring candies and other sweets into your decorations. Fill wine goblets, martini glasses and other fun glassware with jelly beans and brightly colored treats that match your color scheme. Place these throughout your party space. Decorate your food table with baking tools, bottles of cookie sprinkles, and wrapped candies.
• Don’t forget the diaper cake centerpiece. It’s a perfect fit for the party theme and mom will love the extra diapers and baby supplies.
• When guests enter, greet them with a candy corsage. Using floral tape, wrap the sticks of three lollipops together like the stems of flowers. Add a bow around the sticks, if desired. Smaller, lighter suckers such as dum-dums work best for this. Attach with corsage pins. You can even have the guest of honor wear a specially designed apron.
• Hand your guests a candy-themed beverage such as a peanut butter cup cocktail, a peppermint patty martini or a glass of punch with red licorice for a straw.
• Fun Sweet Treats baby shower food ideas are endless! How about a desserts bar? Guests love mini-desserts like tiny cookies, cupcake pops and petit fours. Buy or bake an assortment of bite-sized desserts. Or let guests make their own desserts with a frost-your-own cookies and cupcakes station. Set out unfrosted cupcakes and sugar cookies, sprinkles, frosting, and decors and let guests make their own sweet treat. Award prizes for the most beautifully decorated desserts. And ice cream sundaes are always a hit.
• For a sweet treats baby shower game, fill a jar with candies (count them as you fill) and have guests guess the number of candies in the jar and write down on a slip of paper. Winner gets the candy jar! Other fun prizes include a small box of gourmet truffles, baking tools and supplies, our “Bun in the oven” scented candles, polka dotted picture frames or an attractively packaged batch of homemade cookies.
• For a fun party favor, try this easy (and very sweet treat) do-it-yourself gift. Set up a candy bar of decorative bowls filled with many varieties of small, colorful candies. Buy enough plastic baby bottles for your guests and write the name of the baby (if mom has picked it out) and the date of the shower on the side of the bottle with a silver paint pen. Hand each guest a plastic baby bottle for them to fill and take—this is a sweet souvenir to remember the day.
