Town Themed Party Favor Ideas

August 22, 2013 4 Comments A Well Crafted Party

Party favors are sometimes difficult for me– I don’t want to send home a bunch of plastic, useless items that will just create clutter and end up in a landfill. I also don’t want to spend a ton of money because parties are expensive enough without lots of extra costs from items like favors. I do love party favors though- and rarely like throwing a party without sending guests home with something.

For the little man’s town-themed party I went with edible snacks “for the road.”I got a lot if great suggestions and ideas from Twitter and Facebook however and thought I would share some of those ideas and other ideas that crossed my mind for a town-themed birthday party.

Party Favors for a Town Themed Birthday Party

Snacks for the Road- “Thanks for visiting Twosville. We hope you take time to enjoy…Three Town is just around the corner!”
Job Uniforms- give kids dress up items for different jobs in the community like a police officer or nurse.
Toy of Choice- create a toy store and let kids go shopping
Candy- create a candy shop and let kids fill goodie bags with their favorite treats
Pay checks- give kids paychecks and have them cash them at the town bank. Use $2 bills for a two year old’s party!
Wrapped Sugar Cookies- stock the town bakery with to go treats

What would you give for a town themed party favor?

First Birthday Favor Ideas

October 15, 2012 4 Comments 1st Birthday

I had NO idea what to give everyone as favors for a first birthday party. We were going to have little kids there as well as adults. I didn’t want to give the adults things that they were just going to throw away. But, I didn’t want to give the kids things with tons of sugar or that they wouldn’t care about. So, I opted to make two different favors and package them the same way.
