1st Birthday Debacle - Party Favor Help

in May 2013 Moms
So we just moved into our new house this past Friday, and I clearly was not thinking AT ALL when I invited over 100 people over to celebrate LO's birthday first weekend in May. SO - now I'm in a scramble to get everything done (including unpacking and fixing up we need to do). 

I'm planning on doing personalized chocolate bar wrappers (to go on the bars) as favors (it's easy). Would you do this just for the kids or adults as well? Unfortunately they're not so cheap (especially when you need them for 100+) so I'm hoping it's cool to get it for the kids only? Now realizing that babies will go home empty handed...so that's no good.  Unless - anyone has any other suggestions? 

Our theme is Sammy de Mayo - I totally stole it from someone who mentioned it on here, I forget who. (Sorry for stealing - but it was too cute to resist!) 

TIA!

    I am actually getting little containers for people to bring stuff home in as goody bags. I figured I'll just buy a bunch of candies and people can bring home what they want (I also don't want to be stuck with left overs) Ours are like little Chinese take out containers with a mustache handle I got from Oriental Trading (we don't nearly have that many people coming). I'm sure you could just do small colored baggies. I think a personalize candy bar may be a bit much for that many people. You can always go to the M&M or Hersey kiss site and look at their stuff. To save money what I'm doing is getting a big amount of them in our party colors (blue, aqua and orange). No one will care what they say when they are shoving handfuls in their mouths.

    You have enough on your plate right now, I would just skip the favors. No one will miss them, I promise!

    Thank you everyone for telling me what I wanted to hear! Haha! The candy bar idea is a great one - I may go with that. Sweetie645 If I can't get it together to do the candy bar I'm going with your idea :)

    Maybe I'm a bad hostess but I'm not doing favors. We're just doing immediate family. I think favors stress out a host and most people don't see them/take them anyway. At least I never do.

    Someone mentioned to me yesterday to get baby food jars and fill them with candy or gummies. I am just doing favors for the kids.

    I would just do a piñata for the kids the adults don't need anything IMO. It's simple and easy. I'm not doing favors at all there will only be two other babies that will only be 10 months at the time and the rest are adults. We were the first siblings an friends to have kids.
