Mugs and small stuffed animals are perfect favors for a themed birthday party.
Sending home unique birthday party favors with your guests is a way to thank them for attending the event and help them remember the birthday person. Unique birthday party favors do not need to be expensive, but can easily be customized and personalized. Whether you are hosting a birthday party for a child or an adult, selecting a theme for the party is the first step in creating unique party favors. Does this Spark an idea?
Candy
Candy and other goodies like homemade cookies are always a treat in a party favor bag. Customizing the candy wrappers to fit the theme of the birthday party makes the treat special. For candy bars or larger, individually wrapped candies, you can either print them out on your computer or hand make new wrappers with graphics and the name of the birthday person. Put these new, customized wrappers over the original wrapper.
Apparel
Depending on the theme of your birthday party, apparel items for your favors can be ideal. From earrings, bangles, hair ornaments and charms to t-shirts, sunglasses, thongs and scarves, you can personalize apparel items. Make bandannas, ponytail wraps and shoe ornaments from fabric you buy. Fabric paints and rubber stamps can embellish and customize an array of apparel items for unique favors.
Crafts
Have your guests make their own birthday favors by making the project part of the party entertainment. At a child's party, kids will enjoy decorating large wooden letters of their initials with acrylic paints, glitter and stickers. Teens and adults can paint and embellish t-shirts or scarves. Create a t-shirt as a group and have the attendees autograph it for the birthday person.
Toys
Even big kids and adults like toys and gadgets, so using them for party favors is a welcome idea. Attach ribbon personalized with each guest's name to small stuffed toys, or spruce up toy vehicles with graphics that fit the party theme or the guest. Small handheld electronic games and wind-up toys are always enjoyable and appreciated by young and old.
