Birthday party favors are a fun way to thank your special guests for coming to your party. Adults like receiving these favors just as much as children do. The varieties of favors are endless and you can find a party favor to fit any theme. Favors don’t have to be expensive and you can even make them yourself. My article will show you how to give birthday party favors that don’t break the bank.
Chocolate is always my personal favorite and wrappedhersheys.com has birthday party favors that range from a 1st birthday to Sweet Sixteen, and Over the Hill. Being a fan of Scrabble, my favorite party favor was the Spell It Out 1.55 oz Standard Wrapped Chocolates. A Scrabble board lays out before you and the letters are arranged to deliver a message to the birthday guy or gal. The price per unit is $1.69 and a minimum order of 36 is required. For the over the hill birthday party favors, the You Still Have a Full Deck miniatures are only $0.99 each and you only have to purchase six. A playing card that wraps around the miniature spells out the words You still have a full deck! These are perfect for a casino or Las Vegas themed birthday party.
If you’re tired of having your child come home with expensive party favors that end up in the trash, you’ll get some sensible and inexpensive ideas for your own child’s birthday party from stretcher.com. How about a gift certificate from McDonald’s? Have your child write thank you notes to the party guests and staple the certificates to the notes. Two $1 certificates are all you need for each guest. Purchase inexpensive picture frames or mats and let the children decorate them. Take a picture with each guest and when you send out thank you notes, include their picture.
It’s fun to create your own birthday party favors. If your party has a theme, look for Dixie cups or other small party cups. Paint the cups with glue and cover with glitter. Fill the cups with candies and set on a wide piece of cellophane. Pull the ends toward the center, covering the cup, and tie with ribbon. Add a couple more strands of ribbon and curl the ends. Guests will love these Easy Candy Cups.
Simply Elegant Favors has a personalized cocoa mix called Personalized Cocoa Mugs that is perfect for an adult birthday favor. Each single serving of gourmet hot cocoa comes sealed in a white glossy pouch that contains 1.25 ounces. Drawings of cocoa mugs decorate the package and under the mugs is the name and birth date of the birthday guy or gal. The price is $1.50 and the minimum order is 30.
Whether you buy your birthday party favors or make them yourself, the important thing is just to have fun with it.
