Fun Party Favors

With spring just around the corner, why not make a nice change and offer your party guests some different types of favors?

My price cap for my Urban Botanic party favors is to keep them at around a dollar a piece. I like to have a little takeaway for every party guest who participates in a game, who brings a guest, or who buys a product. That generally means every person at a party leaves with a little gifty!

Cute Little Plants

This one probably would take the most time and be the messiest. But you can purchase bedding plants and little annual flowers in trays this time of year. Transplant them to mini terracotta pots or little peat pots. Do these steps the night before the party at your house. At the party, arrange the plants on a pretty tray. Then clip or tie a note or your UB business card to a stick inserted in the dirt or tie around the pot.

You could even set one at each place setting to decorate the table!

Personalized Seed Packets

There are lots of companies online that offer personalized seed packets. However, I prefer to do my own. You can either tie a little note or your UB card onto each packet using a hole punch and pretty ribbon (be careful not to puncture the packet so the seeds spill out!). Or, using label stock, you could print a message with your contact info and stick it right on the packet.

Tea Favors

Buy a nice brand of prebagged tea and place a few tea bags into a glassine envelope, sheer fabric, or little organza bags to make little favors. Or, if you have a favorite tea shoppe, you can buy some fresh loose tea and use muslin to tie it into individual bags. Then with a hole punch and string or ribbon, attach a note with contact info or your UB business card.

Chocolate Favors

Take a better brand of wrapped chocolate (or truffle, or cookie, etc.) and wrap with a pretty ribbon and your card or a note. Arrange on a nice plate or tray.

This idea could work for any kind of food product - scone mix, containers of strawberries, pasta, etc. - use your imagination!

Have fun and happy partying!
