Party favors can be the finishing touch on a sweet sixteen birthday party.
A sweet sixteen party can be the highlight of the year for a teenage girl. Because of the pressures of high school, a 16-year-old can feel a great deal of stress when planning her party. To leave your daughter's guests something to take home from the party, plan party favors that will carry the theme over into the following days and serve as a reminder of a fun evening.
Spa Pack
Give guests the opportunity to indulge themselves and relax with luxurious spa kit party favors. Put together a selection of spa items, like a pumice stone, loofah, lotion gloves or socks, and thick body butter. You can also find individual facial packs and cooling toner for the face. Include a scented candle and an eye mask to complete the relaxing spa experience. Package your spa kit in a white makeup bag or a linen tote bag that guests can reuse as a book bag or purse. This type of party favor can be a refresher after a late party or a take-home sample after a spa day.
Beauty Kit
If your daughter and her friends are interested in makeup and manicures, put together beauty kits for party favors. Start with a small toiletry bag in a bold, bright print that coordinates with the party decorations. Fill it with miniature nail polishes in a variety of colors, including both safe, neutral colors and fun, jewel tones. Include nail files, clear nail polish to set, and toe separators for pedicures. You can also put in lip gloss, miniature eye shadow compacts or sparkly body glitter.
Photo Booth
In the age of social networking websites, teenage girls often deal only in digital photos. For a party favor that will be fun and that will stand out by sheer novelty, hire a photo booth for your daughter's party. Guests can take pictures alone or in groups; after the party, they can take the photo strips home to put up in their rooms or in their lockers at school. To make the photos even more fun, put together a box of props like tiaras, feather boas or big costume jewelry.
Dessert
For a favor that will allow guests to take a taste of the party home, make packaged desserts. Choose items that you can package individually, like gourmet caramel apples, cupcakes, slices of cheesecake or candy. Other options to consider include frosted cake bites, popcorn mixes, decorated sugar cookies or fortune cookies with custom fortunes. To package the desserts, find clear boxes or bags that will show off the food, and add a decorative touch with a ribbon or a gift tag.
