Your best gal pal from college is expecting her first child this year and her enthusiasm can no longer be contained.
The usual doctor visits and baby clothes shopping outings continue to take place as the birth date approaches.
Soon the baby will be kicking and anytime thereafter a newborn could be on the way.
As her closest friend, and maid of honor at her wedding five years ago, you have decided to have a surprise baby shower for her.
The 'surprise' is going to be big - and so you've got to fit your planning between your job schedule and the trips you and Susan take about town.
You've also got to get it done fast, as you sense she is beginning to wonder why you have not yet started talking about her baby shower! Big organizer that you are, you've gotten together with another friend who has done these things before and the planning has started, with the lists of invitees and snacks already made.
You are trying to decide on the theme that will be reflected in the invitations, the favors and the décor - you're pulling out all the stops!According to the Chinese calendar, Susan is expected to have a baby girl (Susan absolutely refuses to find out about the sex of her baby - she's big on surprises!) and so the color scheme is going to be shades of pink.
After going online, you find out that there are a variety of fun candies in different colors and flavors, which you could use as favors: 1.
Almond Sweets - There are delightful sweets that are associated with babies and children.
They are also available in smaller sizes (though without the almond centers) 2.
Baby Feet Lollipops - The ideal candy for the occasion 3.
Candy Climbers - You may want to have just a few of these in a basket to add to the looks.
4.
Candy Bouquets - When it comes to candies, the range is endless.
You will impress your guests with miniature candy bouquets that are made from mints, chocolate or strawberries.
5.
Bubblegum Babies - ooh, so cute! 6.
Jelly Beans - are delightfully chewy.
7.
Pillow Mints - Cute little mints are the ideal size to pop into your mouth after a meal.
8.
Candy Filled Baby Bottles - These are always great for some laughs and make nice gifts or prizes.
9.
Candy Cigars - How about surprising your guests with a fascinating range of candy cigars? You can find a myriad of candy cigars packed in cute boxes that resemble cigar boxes.
Use your creativity to think of different ways of packing your candy cigars.
Now that you have your selection of candy, all you need is some pretty voile bags to put the candy into.
Make sure that you have at least double the number of bags as guests, because you can safely expect that each person is likely to pick up more than one bag, either for their own trip down memory lane or for their own little one at home.
