The Ultimate Guide to Choosing Baptism Sugar Dragees

The sweet secrets of pure bliss!

For generations, baptism favors have been an essential part of every baptism celebration. It is a beautiful way for parents to thank their guests for being a part of such a meaningful day, while also gifting them a delightful taste experience. But how do you choose the right baptism sugar dragees that will make your baptism favors stand out? And what should you look for when selecting them?

Deeply rooted in Greek tradition, sugar dragees symbolize good fortune for the newly baptized baby. At the same time, they are one of the most eagerly anticipated highlights of the celebration for both children and adults. If you want your baptism favors to impress and be remembered, follow these expert tips.

#1 Because… time matters

Don’t leave the choice of sugar dragees until the last minute! Alongside other baptism preparations, begin planning your favors early. This gives you enough time to explore the wide range of Hatziyiannakis’ sugar dragees and select the ones that best match your baptism, ensuring they become one of the highlights of your event.

#2 Delicate flavor, lasting impression

Sometimes we give in to the flavors we already know. The number one baptism sugar dragee is the Hatziyiannakis’ Crispy Multicolor Matte Drage, with a crunchy cereal core, milk chocolate, and thin sugar coating – an all-time hit with kids and adults alike. What would you say about trying something new?

Little ones adore marshmallows, which is why noone will be able to resist to the Marshmallow Sugar Dragees Twist Series by Hatziyiannakis, with mini marshmallows covered in cocoa cream, sugar coating, and bubblegum flavor.

For parents who prefer more of a classic décor and chose a a pink color pallete for their baby girl’s baptism or blue for their baby boy, the Hatziyiannakis’ Crispy Twist Sugar Dragees with Bueno-type flavor are ideal. Available in pastel pink or soft blue, they combine a cereal core, cocoa cream, and the beloved Bueno-type taste.

#3 The Power of Color

Just as your baptism décor should harmonize with the event’s theme, your sugar dragees should too. After choosing your color palette, look for Hatziyiannakis’ sugar dragees in matching tones. This detail can truly make the difference!

For a princess-themed baptism, look for the pink – gold metallic splashed Crispy sugar dragees for a fresh, royal touch! Planning a beachside baptism? Choose the Hatziyiannakis’ Sweet Pebbles Corfu, with whole kumquat in syrup, 70% dark chocolate, and thin sugar coating. Pair them with Crispy sugar dragees in white matte or ivoire pearlescent for an elegant color combo!

Hosting a baptism with a fun theme – like mermaids, lions, lemons, sailors, or rainbows? With over 35 shades available in the Hatziyiannakis’ Bijoux Supreme line, you’ll find the perfect colors to match your concept. Make your very own mix and creat a unique combination!

Parents, remember: don’t be afraid to experiment with shades and textures until you find the sugar dragees that will truly stand out. From multicolor to pastels, vivid color, pearlescent or polished finishes, even playful splashed options – there’s a world of options to make your baptism favor shine. Don’t forget! The baptism favor itself also matters. Choose a design that shows your sugar dragees: plexiglass boxes, glass tubes, or timeless tulle allow the colors and finishes to shine through while blending seamlessly with your decoration.

#4 Focus on the Number

There is no doubt that everyone is waiting for the baptism favor! How many sugar dragees should go into a baptism favor? Unlike weddings, where the number must be odd, baptisms don’t follow this rule. What matters most is generosity – include enough sugar dragees to leave guests with a memorable taste of your baby’s special day.

Wow Tip: For your candy bar, opt for different sugar dragees from those in the baptism favor. This way, you’ll offer guests even more delicious choices!

#5 The (Right) Spot

Whether you’re hosting a full baptism party or simply offering a treat outside the church, the perfect time to hand out baptism favors is immediately after the ceremony. This way, your guests can celebrate the occasion with you. If your baptism takes place in summer, make sure the baptism favors and candy bar setup are placed in shaded, cool areas. This prevents sugar dragees from cracking in high heat and ensures guests enjoy them in their freshest form.
