The 40th birthday is one of the most celebrated events in our culture today. There are many aspects to throwing a great party, one of which is selecting party favors for your guests. Here are some party favor ideas, as well as things to think about, to help you make your favor selection.
Keep your guests in mind. Here are some questions to ask yourself: Who will be attending? Will I be inviting men and women? What about children? You want to give favors that would appeal to all guests. Some well-intentioned hosts give out favors like votive candles or glass keepsakes. Most women like them, most men toss them, and children shouldn't really have them.
Relate the favors to the guest of honor. Most of us have a passion, whether it is a hobby, interest or profession. The guest of honor will appreciate that you were kind enough to include what he or she likes as part of the party favors. My friend Jon is a motorcycle fanatic, so for his 40th birthday party favors, we ordered chocolate motorcycles with personalized ribbon. Everyone loved them.
At my sister's 40 th birthday party we invited her closest girl friends and had a wine, cheese, and dessert party (my sister loves a good glass of wine!). Upon leaving each guest was given a beautiful gift bag that had a bottle of wine (one that we had served that night), a small box of chocolate truffles and a set of wine coasters.
Finally, my friend Kathy is a movie buff. Since we decided to invite mostly families to her celebration, we gave each family a popcorn bag filled with a few packages of microwave popcorn and a gift card to a well known movie rental store.
You can purchase favors at the last minute. Since parties are often planned at the last minute, you can always buy your guest of honor's favorite candy or sweet at your local discount, warehouse, bakery or grocery store. Place the treat in decorative bags and, if you are handy with the computer and printer, put a personalized sticker on the bag.
Everyone loves to receive a gift. Man, woman or child - we all love to be given things. Especially things that come in pretty packages. No matter how big or small the favor is - it makes the recipient feel that they are special So end the party on a positive note by sending your guests with a little something special that says "thanks - we're glad you were with us".
By keeping your guests in mind and incorporating the interests and tastes of the guest of honor, your 40 th birthday party favors are sure to be a hit.
