bridal favors : Party Favors

Party favors are usually given at New Year's Eve celebrations, bridal showers, baby showers, weddings or other festive occasions. You can go to any craft or party store and find hundreds of ideas for making or purchasing great party favors for any and all occasions. If you're handy in the kitchen, you can whip up your own favors by baking cookies and wrapping them in colorful plastic wrap adorned with ribbons. You can also fill miniature jelly jars with homemade jam, hot sauce or relish. If you have a fabulous flower garden, you can give vases filled with flowers from your garden. Roses are wonderful favors, either in bunches or as a single flower wrapped with a colorful ribbon. Tiny flowerpots with a miniature cactus or herb plant are also very popular favors as are picture frames and chocolates. For holiday entertaining, chocolate champagne bottles placed on a buffet table make for a festive take home gift. Likewise if you are hosting a Halloween party, chocolate pumpkins, ghosts and witches will delight your guests. If you're entertaining a club group, go with a favor that reflects the theme of the club. For instance, if you are a member of an exercise group and are having some members over for a party, give little scales or weights as gifts. If you're having the bridge club over for a celebration, tiny packs of cards will surely bring on smiles. For great party favor gift ideas you can search on the Internet where you will find hundreds of sites that have wonderful favor ideas. By Ken Marlborough
