At the end of a party
it’s a nice gesture to give each guest a favor, a little token of
thanks for coming. This does not have to be anything big by any means
but it can be something which you’ve put some thought into. This is
a great time for your creativity to shine. You can even make them
yourself!
For ideas you can draw
inspiration from the theme of the party. If you’re having a music
themed party or wedding a nice complimentary favor could be a small
kazoo. Everyone will have a funny keepsake that will remind them of
that day. Or you could give out a lollipop in the shape of a musical
instrument. This may not last long but it sure will taste good.
You can get ideas from
the season you are throwing the party in. If you are having a winter
wedding or party
give guests a favor that plays to the season. You could give out a
pair of wool socks to everyone. These can be bought or if you have
someone who is crafty in the wedding they can be handmade. Make a
take home smores kit. In a plastic bag include a graham cracker,
piece of chocolate and marshmallow. Tie it all together with a nice
bow. If you’re having a summer wedding give each guest a pair of
sunglasses. Or for a tastier option give a cookie shaped like a pair
of sunglasses or the sun.
Edible favors are become
more and more the trend. Give each guest a heart shaped cookie with
the date of the party or the bride and grooms name on the cookie in
icing. Make a DIY cake mix. In a small jar put all the ingredients
required to a make a small treat, whether that be cookies, cake, or a
cheesecake. Attach the recipe to the jar.
You can stick with
something simple like bubbles or sugared almonds or you can think
outside the box and have fun with it!
