You don't have to spend a lot of money on party favors if you don't have a lot in the budget; creativity can go a long ways.
Follow your theme and it will add to the fun and excitement of the party.
For example, if you decide to use a 50's theme, you could hand out homemade mix CDs of 50's music--think Elvis, Little Richard, Bill Hailey and the Comets, The Platters, and other artists from the era.
Sweet Sixteen Party Favors Ideas
- Photo Lollipops with the birthday girl's picture on them.
Find a company on the internet and order the lollipops about a month in advance so you are sure to get them in time for the party.
- Special sticky notes, printed with fun, teenager type themes, music, trivia, etc.
are good party favors.
They are great for putting into purses and grabbing when your guests need to write down a cell number or a quick message. - Happy Birthday Pencils are fun, too.
You can order in bulk from places like Oriental Trading Company.
Take 4-5 pencils and tie them together with some pretty satin ribbon and then add some paper wrapped candies on the ends of the ribbon; tie the candies with the ribbon and let them hang down for added decoration. - Purchase small cloth bags from a craft store and fill them with candy coins or mixed chocolate candies like mini Snickers, Milky Ways, or Kit-Kat bars.
- Noise Makers! They may be cool teenagers, but they still love to make noise.
Grab a few bags at the party store and hand them out to your guests as they arrive to celebrate. - Bubbles are always fun and set the party mood.
Take the ideas and embellish them any way you want.
Ask the birthday girl for ideas on what her friends would like.
Maybe find out what kind of favors were given at the last party she attended and then put your own special spin on it.
