What could I personalize as party favors besides t-shirts?
Nothing too expensive, please- I'm probably inviting a lot of people. It's for a teen birthday, both guys and girls. Thanks :-)
Answers:
Candy Bars - take off the exterior wrapper (not the foil one) and make your own by printing them, and you can write whatever you want!
beer bottles
Keychains, hats, pins....
personalize for each guest? that's going to be expensive no matter what...
how about setting out a beading station at the party with several different types of beads, cord to string them on, and letter beads. that way, the kids can string their own. if you're worried about some smart alecks (pun not intended) and know the names of all your guests, you could pre-string some personalized bracelets for them. not too expensive and somewhat of the moment...
Mugs, small boxes, plastic binders, etc.! You can get them cheap at craft stores then use perminent pens or paints to decorate.
Over time, I have learned that the most memorable gifts are because of the packaging! My inspiration is Carolyne Roehm (http://www.carolyneroehm.com/presentatio... who suggests great presentation ideas.
My favorite party favor place is Michael's- I walk in with a budget and come out with awesome favors (and not lame plastic trinkets either). It takes creativity, but go with an open mind (and time to spare)!
Happy Entertaining!
This may seem weird but I'm getting married and I ordered 200 boxes from annsbridalbargains.com They are in the clearance section for 50 for $9.99. You could get his name on it and the date of his birthday in any color and fill them with candy or whatever! They are not that big so it would not cost you very much either! I don't know how much you really want to save, so it is just a suggestion! You could put something like cute earrings or hair ties or lip gloss from the dollar store in the girls boxes and I'm sure you know what the guys are into but I really have no idea! It's just a suggestion. The kids will have a blast regardless. One thing that may be funny and make them laugh would be to fill a pinata with cool candy and have them hit it! It would just make them laugh that he is a teen and you did it anyway! It would make you look cool and they would laugh about it for years!
Teens aren't going to be looking for anything that they'll keep forever. I would do candy bars. You could even do them yourself on your home computer!
You can have some mugs made up.The more that you get the less the cost.You may even wish to fill the mugs with little candies,and wrap them in clear wrap.Or you can have some personalized goodie bags made up and fill them with things teenagers like..gum,breath mints,Skittles,combs, markers...you get the idea.
Make it a theme party,hawiian party, blow up beach balls floating in the pool with their names on it and they get 2 keep one. Buy them the hawiian theme necklaces and girls the skirts.
How abouts some cool toys? Pick something small but cool.
The link below shows some toys that can be custom imprinted. Check out the flying torpedo foam, I'm sure it'll be a hit for the guys :-)
The important thing is that you pick something cheap but fun.
Good luck with the party!
you can also personalize vizors or bandanas or even hats. Go to Micheals they have a lot you can personalize.
