Sending your guests home with a gift or party favor, whether it's for a children’s birthday party on up to a wedding party, is a great way of thanking them for being part of your celebration. Visit a few local party supply shops to get ideas. Even better are curio or antique shops. When you go to purchase party favors, you’ll want to choose items that are affordable yet attractive and memorable.
If you want to try out a couple of do-it-yourself options, here are some party favor ideas that will help you to craft some unique party favors at home.
There are countless party favor ideas limited only by your creativity. Ideally you’ll want the favors to be in line with the theme of the party. For example, if you are celebrating your 50th birthday party with some traditional themes, you can give gifts authentic to the decade the birthday boy or girl was born.
Giving out party favors based on a family's historical, religious or cultural background can be one of the best and most meaningful party favor ideas. Some couples distribute Bridal Sugar that consists of five pieces of wrapped sweet candy in their wedding party. The five pieces are to honor the five wedding wishes, happiness, love, virility, prosperity and loyalty.
Hand painted, decorated eggs are considered, in some cultures, to be a symbol of prosperity and fertility and are given to the guests as a traditional wedding favor. This is a very unusual party favor idea and will be a sure conversation starter. In other countries it is a tradition for couples to distribute hard shelled chocolate candies filled with marzipan fruits or almonds to the guests who have honored them by witnessing their nuptials. You can also give various types of gifts such as picture frames, bud vases, or sachets to guests of your birthday party to let them know that their presence was appreciated.
You can use tiny picture frames as guests' table card following it with a wedding photo and thank you notes. If your budget allows, you can use tiny sterling silver or traditional-looking frames to give your guests.
Also, budget permitting, a great party favor idea is to give sport, hobby or occupation-related gifts. Fountain pen sets, a box of golf balls or a small bag adorned with the favorite team logo is well received. Personalized cookbooks or boxes of recipes are great for those who enjoy cooking. You can also print a quick note on these to thank them for sharing in the party. In this way, with innovative party favor ideas, you can make your occasion a memorable event.
