Decorative bags make a nice tote for birthday party favors.
Summer birthday parties entertain kids of all ages and create a plethora of party favor choices that will create lasting memories of your child's special day. Does this Spark an idea?
Personalized Candy
You can order every type of candy, from lollipops to M&Ms, with personalized messages, monograms and even pictures. Small boxes or bags of these candies make great party favors for kids, although they can be expensive. Stores will have generic "Happy Birthday," messages on them.
Useful Items
Small summer items such as flip flops, lip balm, plastic water bottles, tote bags, travel size hand sanitizers and hats are cheap and useful long after the party is over. Buy unscented products for those with fragrance sensitivity.
Mini Games
Small decks of cards, personalized chips, peg boards and dice are the perfect thing to keep young children entertained on hot summer evenings. When giving away cards, print out directions to simple games such as Go Fish or War. Older children may enjoy games like Solitaire and Gin Rummy.
Bug Hunting
Summer brings a slew of bugs, butterflies and spiders. As long as your area has no dangerous bugs such as brown recluse spiders, provide children with small nets, clear boxes and magnifying glasses as party favors. Encourage them to explore the area to capture and study interesting bugs.
