If you’re planning a party for yourself, a family member, or a friend, you’ll likely want guests to remember the celebration fondly. This is the main reason people hand out party favors at the end of a special occasion. The favors should reinforce the theme of the party and give guests something memorable to enjoy once the celebration is over. If you want your favors to stand out as much as your party, here are a few ideas to consider.
Mini Plants
If you’re celebrating a milestone in your life or the life of a loved one, you may want to consider giving your loved one mini-plants as party favors. You can choose pots that match your party’s color scheme and include a tiny sign with an inspirational message in each pot to thank your guests for coming and supporting you throughout the years. This a great party favor for a wedding or graduation, since these are pivotal times in people’s lives. The plant symbolizes the fact that you’re looking forward to the growth that comes with the new life event you’re celebrating.
Beauty Bags
Fill decorative bags with mini beauty accessories your guests will enjoy. You can include sample-size lip glosses and nail polishes, as well as other items that can enhance one’s appearance like blind contact lenses, body jewels, and eye shadow. this is the perfect party favor if you’re hosting a celebration for someone who loves being pampered and enjoys makeup. You can also include some quality items, such as small designer perfumes or lipsticks if you’re giving out the favors at an event like a bachelorette party or bridal shower.
Mason Jar Treats
If mason jars are part of your party decor, purchase mini jars to make edible party favors to give your guests. You can bake brownies in the jars or create a trifold with cake, fresh fruit, and whipped cream. You can also fill the jars with candies in your favorite colors. Decorate the mason jars with ribbons that match the celebration colors and arrange them on a table for your guests to see as they exit the party.
Personalized Chocolate Bars
Chocolate bars are a great way to end a party, especially when you’ve customized the candy wrappers. Work with a graphic design company to create wrappers that feature your name or the name of the guest of honor, the date of the party, and the reason for the occasion. You can also work with a candy company to make sure the chocolate itself is customized if you want to add nuts, dried fruit, or caramel to the chocolate bars to make them one of a kind.
Customized Candles
If your guests love fragrant candles, you can make individual soy candles to hand to everyone at the party. Or, you can purchase small candles and customize the candle holders to showcase the date of your party. Your candle favors can also describe the occasion i.e. birthday, wedding, graduation party. You can design the color of the candle holders and the scent of the candles to showcase the personality of the guest of honor, and guests can keep the candles for weeks after the party to deliver a pleasant fragrance in their homes.
These are just a few ideas you can use as inspiration for your next party. You can coordinate the favors with the other decorations at the party to keep the celebration in the minds of guests for weeks or months to come. It’s also a good idea to make the favors out of durable materials that will serve several purposes and remain intact long after the party is over.
