Planning a child’s birthday party or another celebratory event such as a baby shower? Consider adding a candy buffet to please the young and old alike.  Almost everyone likes sweets and you can make the candy buffet the centerpiece of your decorations instead of a cupcake tower or a chocolate fondue.

Plus, it is so easy to setup that even the little ones can do it with minor supervision. You can buy bags of candies at bulk prices and just put them in shallow bowls, pails, mason jars, or any container you have at home. You can even buy a few of these colorful Personalized Cocktail Shaker Favors  so your sweet-toothed guests can take home these delicious souvenirs that are a great alternative to the traditional goodie bags.  And you get to personalize them with three lines of your own custom text!

Personalized Cocktail Shaker Favors (18 Colors)

A fun final reminder – make sure you buy a good assortment of candies so no one would feel left out. Some poor toddler might throw a tantrum if they do not find their favorite candy on the table.
