Planning a children’s birthday party is always an exciting adventure, and one of the most loved traditions is giving out party bags. These little take-home treats are not only fun for kids but also a thoughtful way to thank guests for attending.
With so many options available today, you can get creative and tailor your party bags to suit any theme, age group, or budget. Here are some exciting party bag ideas that will make your child’s celebration unforgettable!
1. Classic Lolly Bags
You can never go wrong with traditional lolly bags. These colorful pouches filled with lollies and chocolates are a timeless favorite. Choose a mix of chewy, fizzy, and chocolate treats to please every child. You can even coordinate the lollies to match the party’s theme or colors for that extra special touch. For a healthier twist, include fruit snacks or sugar-free options alongside the traditional sweets.
2. Candy Buffet Bags
Setting up a mini candy buffet is both interactive and exciting for children. With a selection of candies in jars, kids can pick and pack their own treats into small paper bags. Provide scoops and clear labels so they can make their selections easily. Not only does this double as a fun party activity, but each child also goes home with a customized candy bag filled with their favorite sweets.
3. Themed Treasure Bags
If your party has a specific theme—such as pirates, princesses, superheroes, or dinosaurs—you can tailor the contents of the party bags accordingly. Pirate-themed bags might include chocolate coins, eye patches, and stickers. For a fairy tale party, consider including glittery wands, mini crowns, or costume jewelry. Add a few lollies or candies to balance fun with flavor.
4. DIY Craft Kits
Send children home with the gift of creativity by preparing small DIY craft kits. Include items like mini canvases, colored pencils, stickers, or modeling clay. You can even personalize the kits with each child’s name. Throw in a small packet of lollies or candy for a sweet treat to enjoy while crafting.
5. Mini Toys & Trinkets
Today’s party hire companies offer bulk packs of mini toys perfect for party bags. Think bouncy balls, bubbles, stampers, or puzzles. These items are usually inexpensive and come in sets that can be easily divided among guests. Include a small bag of mixed candies or a lollipop for a nice sweet addition.
6. Eco-Friendly Party Bags
For environmentally conscious parents, reusable bags filled with sustainable goodies are a great idea. Bamboo toothbrushes, seed packets, and wooden toys make excellent eco-friendly party favors. Include organic or natural candies to keep the sweet element while staying green.
Conclusion
Whether you go with classic lolly bags, a custom candy buffet, or creative DIY kits, party bags are a delightful way to end your child’s special day. With thoughtful planning and a touch of imagination (and perhaps a little help from a party hire company), your party favors will be a hit with both kids and parents.
Don’t forget—no matter what you include, a handful of lollies or a single candy can bring a big smile to a little face!
