Unique party favors give your guests something to hold on to after they leave a memorable get-together. Fun favors are for all types of parties and celebrations, too!
If you prefer to make something, try a creative craft to add a big impact on any exciting affair.
Party favors for the table
Plate favors are sentiments that double as beautiful table decorations. A round box is the perfect shape for customizing your party theme.
Insert dried flowers into the top of the box using an ice pick and then anchor them with hot glue on the underside of the lid.
Paint the box to match the theme.
Use ribbons with welcoming messages printed on them and attach a small name card.
Fragrant gifts
For favors that smell divine, use small paper mâché boxes and hot-glue beautifully dried potpourri on the lid. Fill with ornaments, jewelry, small soaps, candies, or whatever fits your party theme.
For more inspiration, look to your herb garden to make a “posie” to lie near the plate. A culinary posie can consist of fresh lavender, rosemary, thyme, or any edible plants and flowers. All of these can be taken home, dried, and used in recipes. Buy fresh herbs in bulk at a specialty grocery store and bind them with twine or wire ribbon. Tell guests to take them home and let them dry upside down for longtime use in flavoring foods.
Pampering your guests
Shop discount stores for special soaps that you can afford to buy in bulk and repackage into a lovely favor. Marshalls, T.J. Maxx, and Ross sell a few imported soaps by the box. Wrap individual soaps in cellophane and tie with wired ribbon and dried flowers. Your guests will remember the party every time they use this luxurious soap!
Yummy candied almonds, custom M&Ms, and assorted candies can be found online in any color you like. Buy custom-colored candies or order candy in bulk that will work with your theme. Decorate unique boxes and bags as holders.
A great party favor is the parting gift that sends your friends and family away with something that says, “Thank you for coming,” and creates memories that last long after the gifts are used.
