To end the party with a bang you’ll need a brilliant party bag. However, this does not mean blowing the budget. Here are our top tips to ensure ending on a high and sending your guests home happy.
Buy all the bits and bobs could possibly need from the Party Pieces party bag page. Here are some of our cool, classic and crazy suggestions …
Double party bags up as decoration
Suspend filled cello bags from a line of ribbon or in a tree as an original decoration during the party. Make sure they are out of reach though!
Cake O’Clock
Filled up with so much other food, lots of birthday cake often is left over. Don’t let delicious cake go to waste and send guests home with a slice in a party cake box.
Out of Sight
However, don’t have a table of party bags in the room throughout the party as it will distract the children’s attention away from food, games and other fun. Keep the party bags hidden away till the end.
Back to Basics
Remember, few children care how much money has been spent! Bright, coloured party bags with a personalised sticker and a few carefully chosen party bag fillers are what count. For the teeniest tots taking home a humble balloon beats a lot of more pricey items.
Beat the budget
Throwing a party can become expensive, especially if you’ve got lots of guests. Cost cutting corners could include decorating brown paper bags with stickers, felt tips and writing on the child’s name. Filling balloons with a handful of sweets and writing each child’s name, or looking out for pre-filled party bags kits – quick and easy!
Bag it!
Remember it is not just what you pop into it but also the bag itself that is important. Cotton or organza bags are cute and can be used again by your guests.
Bookworms
Parents are sure to thank you if you send everyone home with a book rather than sweets making them bounce off the walls. The Mr Men books are a good bet.
Lucky Dip
Instead of a traditional party bag say goodbye at the door with a lucky dip. Wrap all the little gifts for extra excitement.
Get Crafty
If you have a craft activity during your party, such as painting or cookie decorating, guests can take the fruits of their labour home as a souvenir of a great day.
Party Cups
Little ones will love a reusable cup filled with treats wrapped in a cellophane bag.
