Just a thought, how about a toothbrush in the goodie bag – as a parent, I hate to think about cavities from all that candy!
It is a cute idea but we also need to instill good teeth and limit the amount of sugar.
I am so not a party pooper, just hate trips to the dentist.
Congratulations on what looks like a fabulous party! Your talents continue to amaze a faithful reader…..
What a creative and great idea! I would love to go to a Candyland Birthday party as an adult!
that photo of all the candy in jars really just puts a smile on my face. oh, nostalgic childhood…
I loved the whole thing! I hope, when I do try to emulate you, I hope I can do as good a job (or even remotely close) as your original “Candyland” party.
I love this! Seeing as my name is Candace but I go by Candy…I’m so having this for my birthday next year! :) Who cares if I’ll be 28!!!
This is absolutely fabulous. I love it all.
I’ve just posted a link to it on my blog.
Im gonna turn twelve when I saw this website in COSMOGIRL. i decided to give it a shot.
Im so excited to recreate this theme!
I love the Candyland banner. Where can I have one made for my daughter’s first birthday party?
I looooove this theme, I am planning a candy land party for my daughters first birthday….I love the banner and the customized lunch pails…where can i get those for my daughters party ??
I would like to know if I could speak with you in regrads to designing an invitation for a candland theme party im having ?
Although I LOVE them, I simply can’t afford the lunchbox favors (@ $36/ a piece!) Does anyone know of something more afforable but just as cute?!
Hi Carrie –
I know – those lunchboxes were more like full-on “gifts” than “party favors!”
Here are a few other suggestoins for you:

*These are “candy themed” lunchboxes. They’re not personalized, but they’re a lot less expensive at $12.99 each

*Candy themed pencil cases – even more affordable at $1.99 each. You could fill them with candy or colored pencils and maybe bundle each one with a big, colorful lollipop.

*Mini Gumball Machines – $3 each. Fill them with gumballs & attach a gift tag to personalize :)
Good luck!
hello jenn. s so i was wondering where you had bought the jars filled with candy. i am also trying to plan a party for my daughter and would like to know where you bought them. thanks a lot!
Hi Jasmine –
I purchased all of the jars at HomeGoods – the prices are great there!(usually range between $9 & $20 ea, depending on the size)
If you don’t have one near you, Michaels is another great place to look – or you can buy them online at Save-On-Crafts.com too. Here’s direct link to that section:
