Favors for kids..any suggestions?

MrsJD4Life, on June 13, 2011 at 9:59 AM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 19

There is only going to be three kids at my wedding. Two are my kids and one is my FH's nephew. My daughter is 5, my son is 4 (will be 4 by the wedding) and FH's nephew is 6. Any cheap ideas on what kind of favors I can make for them? I do not think they would appreciate a candle and holder wrapped in tulle with a personalized ribbon lol.

    Think kids' birthday party favors. Lots of websites sell them. A little gift bag of activities may keep them happy at an otherwise adult event.

    I am doing my own- getting them cute folders or bags with crayons, color pages, word-seeks, stuff like that to keep them busy. Might also throw an inexpensive stuffed animal or other keepsake in there.

    Lol i remember when beanie babies were the it thing. Man definitely feeling my age with that one lol. The bags have little activity toys in them and funny straws that they can use at the wedding as well. All of it will keep them busy when their not dancing lol. And for 23.00 you cant go wrong. I will just tie a personalized ribbon on the top of the bag.

    I did little gift bags that I found at orientaltrading.com

    http://www.orientaltrading.com/wedding-treat-boxes-a2-3_1194-12-1.fltr?Ntt=wedding+kid+box

    I filled them with really cheap activites that I found at Michaels, Dollar Tree, or Target. They were a real hit. I personalized them by putting the child's name on them.

    Give a shout out to Andrene. She has awesome favors for their welcome bags, rehearsal dinner and reception. I know she would be happy to help. Actually, if you look for a post, she did post pics of them.

    I found little tin lunch boxes in our colors that I will paint their names on. We haven't filled them yet but our wedding/reception will be outside so I thought little cars, bubbles (small ones), plastic jewlery for the one little girl.

At the reception we are doing a sports theme and will give them a Sport M&M dispenser, baseball shaped cup and sports themed favor box filled with sports themed activites and other little personalized keepsakes. A few pics attached. If you want more info send me a PM.
