One of the finest touches to any party is a party favor. When you are doing your planning, you should try to leave a little room in your budget to have your guests leave your party with a little something. The party favors can range from items that only cost you a few cents to baskets full of goodies (think Oscar-size packages here!). Still, the more unique your party favors are, the more memorable your event will be. Cookies
Yes, cookies may not be the first thing you think of when you are trying to come up with unique party favors, but really, cookie designs have come a long way. Having a Superbowl party? Why not order cookies shaped like your team's helmets. You can get them personalized for each guest. For a wedding you can order cookies in your colors and theme with just about anything written on them. You can even get fortune cookies specially designed with your own personal fortunes. Wine and Alcohol
If you are having an adult party, personalized wine bottles are an excellent gift. You can order wine from a local vineyard and use a pen to personalize each bottle. Or some wineries allow you to personalize the label itself. You can also offer mixers, champagne buckets, bottle openers, and more as specialized gifts. Books that include some of the drinks you offered at your party are always a nice party favor, too. Personalized Food
Personalized candy is always a hit. You can purchase mint tins that have personalized labels, or even your own chocolate bars. Some people may even opt for their own monogrammed petit fours, and others choose personalized hot sauces. Accessories
We all loved getting those monogrammed bracelets when we were younger, so why not bring them back? Today many companies offer updated versions with all kinds of personalized charms. You can get embroidered handbags, jewelry boxes, and even personalized tissues. On a Budget
If you are on a budget, your local dollar store can be your best friend. Let's say you are throwing a beach party. You can buy pairs of flip-flops to hand out to each guest. Just make special name tags to give them an extra touch. Party favors do not have to be extravagant - they just need to be thoughtful. It is a way of saying "Thank You!" to your guests for coming to your party, which will make any party a hit. |
