so i'm going to have a carnival themed baby shower and i want to do the favors just to make it a lil personal. but lets be realistic most people throw them away. sooo i was thinking something food oriented maybe blue popcorn or blue (we're having a boy) cotton candy with a sticker on it but that seems so little any ideas??
i originally was thinking of mini gumball machines but it gets expensive

I think a carnival themed showe will be really cute..... It's different. The cotton candy idew is really cute for a favor. When will your shower be. I would love to see pics.

of course u wouldmake it say baby shower instead of a bday party..

oringal games: baby game
bean bag toss -- pacifier toss--- paper cups and pacifiers
bingo ------------baby bingo
pin the nose on the clown ------wheres baby--- get baby cut outs and a large photo of urself- and have guests pin the baby cuts outs as cloes to ur belly as possibly.
guess how many jar (m&ms, jelly beans, or peppermints) - u can do blue jelly beans and have the tag on the jar. say YOU GUESS THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF SWEETS THAT MAKE THIS LIL JELLY BEAN A PARTY ANIMAL.
play fun music

I dont know if you are interested but I found a site (which I personally love) where you can just buy gumballs for not much money at all (follow the link):

But yes putting gumballs in actual little gumball machines does sound expensive. So here is my idea. You can buy just little baby blue bags like this (follow the link):

You could even tie the bag off with little blue pacifiers:

They do have little gumball machines too......nothing very carnivalish or babyish but you can take a look.

Great idea for a theme! I like the thoughts you have on the favors too. I don't think it will be too small. It's cute!!
