Super-Cute Baby Shower Candy Buffet Ideas

Candy buffets are becoming very popular at all types of parties. What better way to delight your guests than with a colorful baby shower candy buffet filled with baby-themed treats? For the very best selection of candies including chocolates like M&Ms in a range of fashionable colors, visit your nearest Party City store.

If the gender of the baby is going to be a surprise, then create a baby shower candy buffet that works for either gender. The Fisher Price baby animals pattern is a great choice for this idea because it includes traditional pastel colors that will brighten up your display and keep the baby's sex a secret. You can also add cake and beverages to your candy buffet to widen the variety.

If you know the baby is a girl, go all out with a girly display. Glam out your baby shower candy buffet with pinks and "It's a Girl" decorations. Adding ribbons around your candy containers will spice them up and add more color. If you're adding baked goods to your candy buffet, remember to pick out girly baking supplies too!

Embellish your girl-power candy buffet with adorable extras that make it unique and personal. Baby-motif favors and charms like petite rattles, diaper pins or clothespins add so much when used as accents around your candy display containers. Simply string them along a hot pink ribbon and tie around the container to finish.

Multicolored pastel candies and baby shower favor kits work well for a gender-neutral baby shower. Coordinate mixed Jordan almonds with baby shower favors in a variety of hues. The colors also can add contrast to a baby shower candy buffet for a girl or a boy.

Let guests take candy with them for after-shower cravings by having cute candy containers on hand. You can even decorate them with baby stickers. Candy scoops make it easy for them to shovel their favorites into colorful take-out boxes. They'll appreciate the goodies they can grab for the journey home.

Think outside the box with your sweets assortment! These cute novelty candies like bubblegum cigars, candy bottles or "It's a Boy" lollipops are conversation pieces, too. They make fun take-home favors – especially for anyone with kids of their own at home.

No matter what the color palette of your baby shower candy buffet, little details like ribbons, bows and messages make it a treat for the eyes as well as the tastebuds. Try including solid, sheer and patterned ribbon in your candy buffet. Wrap it around a piece of stick candy, use it around a container or to festoon the table.
