Perfect Party Favors

There are many reasons for throwing a party, most commonly birthdays, Christenings, engagements, the arrival of a new baby or any other special holiday or occasion. Putting together the perfect party takes a lot of planning and detail, and everything right down to the decorations and cake will be thought of. Sometimes research and planning is conducted to see what is needed, and to ensure that nothing is missed. An important part of a party is to give the guests a party favor to leave with. This is deemed as proper courtesy.

After all the planning and preparation, it can be difficult to try and figure out what to give as a party favor. A good rule is to never give a gift that you would not enjoy to receive yourself. If it is going to be a party where adults and children alike will attend, it is good to differentiate the gifts into special ones for children, and those for adults.

If the party favor will be for children, it is a nice to give a packet with sweets and small toys inside. Children are simple, and something more elaborate may not interest them. There is nothing better you can give children than a packet of sweets and toys to take home with them. Ensure that the small toys included in the party pack are not a choking hazard if the children are very young. The toys can be gender specific too. For example, the little boys can get a toy car and gun and the little girls can get a cute purse and doll. The toys need not be expensive or extravagant, and there are many gorgeous cheap alternatives. If it is not affordable for you to include a toy in each goodie bag, you can just put in some sweets, a chocolate and a packet of chips. Most children will be completely content and thrilled with this.

If you are holding a Christening event, you can always give a small gift bag with a beautifully designed symbol of your religion inside, and a few delicate chocolates. This is assuming all your guests are party to the same religion as you. If you are not sure, a simple package of some chocolates and a thank you card should suffice. Engagement parties can invite a more creative gift. These sorts of parties will normally only involve adults, so the range of gifts you can send them away with is endless. For the ladies, some nice bubble bath or body wash is always nice. A smart pen could suffice for the men, and even some attractive, masculine personalized stationary.

If you are having a party with a theme, you can always give party favors in line with that. If the party is a pool party or beach theme, you can always give sun tanning session vouchers for the women, and hats for the men. If your party theme is fancy dress, there are all sorts of wacky and funny gifts you can give, such as gags, or a pack of cards.
