Favor Bags Ideas
Fun, creative favor bags make a thoughtful gift for holiday guests or party attendees. A few simple ideas create favor bags that recipients are eager to open and thrilled to take home.
Choose a Theme
This is easy for themed parties, but requires more thought for other occasions. Possibilities include Beauty Bash (for women), Kid Stuff, Terrific Teens, Beach Party, Hawaiian Luau, Birthday Celebration or Fall Fling (for an autumn party). Using a theme will make it easier to fill the bags with suitable favors.
Select the Bag
Favor bags can be created from a variety of materials including felt, tulle, denim, sheer rayon, silk, burlap or cotton. Small tins, Christmas stockings, or cellophane cones can also be used. The favor bag---like the contents inside---is limited only by imagination and should complement the theme of the party.
Choose Fillers
Depending on the theme, chocolate, candles, small toys or trinkets for children, key chains, friendship bracelets, pens or pencils, Christmas ornaments, lotion, or photo frames make good fillers. Be careful when adding candles or other scented items to favor bags that contain food. Strong scents can contaminate food and make it inedible.
Fill and Seal the Bags
Lay out each favor in the order they go in the bag. Put the largest favors on bottom. Add remaining favors until each bag holds one of every favor. Adjust the contents, if needed, so everything fits. Close the bags with ribbon or yarn ties, or colored wire twists to keep contents intact and complete your favor bag.
