Chocolate bars, M&M's, hard candies, bubble gum, and lollipops are all used to spread the news, but pretty much any kind of candy can be considered if it's placed in an appropriate container.
Personalized birth announcement chocolate bar wrappers are a popular way to get the news out! Available in all sizes, these can be ordered online, through a local specialty candy store, or downloaded as a template from a number of online sources; allowing you to design and print your own.
If you choose to purchase personalized chocolate bar wrappers, the cost per wrapper is a little under a dollar each. The wrappers can then be placed around an already-wrapped, brand-name chocolate bar that you have purchased.
You can order chocolate bars that are pre-wrapped in any color of foil and have them then wrapped with your personalized label. However, having someone else do the work for you will increase the overall cost per bar significantly.
If you want to save money on this type of candy birth announcement, consider going to a wholesale grocery store to purchase the chocolate bars, then downloading a candy bar wrapper template. By using your home computer, printer, and creative design through use of clipart, you can create a one-of-a-kind birth announcement wrapper at home.

If you like chocolate, but prefer hard, candy covered chocolates, you can order personalized M&M's online. Printed on the candy itself, you can get the baby's name and date of birth. This is an expensive candy birth announcement option, with limited space on the candy for long names, but it is also highly unique. A two-ounce bag of this type of personalized candy will cost approximately $5 per bag; including shipping, and require a minimum order of sixteen bags.
Bubble gum cigars are a great way for the baby's father, brother, and grandfather to share in the fun. Usually pink or blue in color, the cigar band announces the baby's name, date of birth, height and weight. Three dozen personalized bubble gum cigars will cost approximately $30, plus shipping. These are a relatively inexpensive and fun twist on the traditional tobacco cigar idea.
Lollipops are a wonderful candy birth announcement option for kids of all ages. Lollipops come in a lot of flavors and colors, and are available in inexpensive bulk lots. Costs associated with this type of announcement are dependent upon what size of lollipops you choose, how many you are giving away, and the size of the sticker that goes on each one.
Circular stickers, printed with a clipart image or the baby's photo, name, and date of birth, are how lollipops are transformed into candy birth announcements. Lollipop birth announcements can be commercially produced or you can do them yourself with the help of a home computer, clipart and specialized sticker paper for your printer.
One of the most inexpensive and easily created candy birth announcement ideas is to buy a small baby bottle with a colorful top, and fill it with the candy of your choice. Next, purchase labels and use your computer to print birth announcement information onto the labels before adhering them to the baby bottles. By using clipart images and borders, you can create beautiful labels to compliment your colorful, candy creation!
Whether you are purchasing personalized candy birth announcements or constructing them yourself, the creative presentation of this type of birth announcement is a fun, sweet way to share the news of your baby's birth.
