📌What You’ll Need
Paper – we recommend white cardstock for the best results. But you can also use regular computer paper.
Pens/pencils – for the host to keep score
Scissors or paper trimmer – to cut the cards out
*Optional – laminator – this is a great way to make the cards reusable. They also have self laminating sheets that are a little more expensive, but you don’t have to have the actual machine.
🎯Favorite Printable Supplies
Here are some of our favorite materials and supplies we use so we get the best quality out of our printables!
🌟What’s Included
A Printable Sign: Set the scene with a super cute sign that grabs everyone’s attention. Place it front and center next to your candy-filled jar to draw people in like bees to honey (or like kids to candy!).
Guessing Cards: Handy little cards for guests to jot down their guesses. These are perfect for keeping things neat and organized while adding a fun, interactive element to your party.
A Full Guessing Sheet: Don’t want to fuss with individual cards? No problem! Use the full-page sheet to collect guesses instead. It’s an easy way to keep all the answers in one place without any clutter.
📌How to Set Up the Valentine Candy Guessing Game
Fill a Jar with Candy: Pick your favorite Valentine’s treats—conversation hearts, chocolate kisses, jellybeans, or anything else that screams “love”! Fill the jar and count as you go (but maybe keep a few extras for yourself—we won’t tell).
Print the Bundle: Download and print your sign, guessing cards, or the full sheet. Easy peasy!
Set Up Your Station: Place the jar and sign on a table. Add the guessing cards and a cute container for collecting them, or lay out the full sheet for everyone to add their guesses.
Let the Guessing Begin: Guests will have a blast trying to figure out how many candies are in the jar. It’s trickier than it looks!
The Rules: Establish beforehand that the winner is whoever has the closest guess without going over (sounds like Price is Right, huh?)
❤️Sweeten the Game and Challenge
Offer a Prize: Sweeten the deal with a small Valentine-themed prize for the closest guess. Think mini stuffed animals, a gift card, or even the jar of candy itself!
Add a Twist: For an extra challenge, layer different types of candy in the jar and have guests guess the total number and how many of each type.

💡Helpful Tips
- For the highest quality feel use a nice heavy card stock.
- Check ink levels before printing. No printer? Local print shops can help, and they are usually reasonably priced or you can check an online print shop.
- If you need another size other than US Letter, check your printer settings.
- Have a container nearby by if using the cards where guests can fold their guesses so they can’t be seen.
