Birthday Party Favors for Women

How to Choose the Perfect Party Favors for the women attending your event:

• Choose your theme first. It’s tempting to see a fun favor and want to design the party around it. But it’s much easier to match favors to the theme than vice versa. We've got a great selection of 50th birthday themes for women, however, a favor or small token can provide some inspiration that can lead to a strong theme. For example, perhaps you’ve come upon a set of well-priced tiki tumblers. This could lead to a party having a strong tropical theme. Make sure your theme is strong before buying too many different favors or you may end up with a lot of small gifts that don’t relate to the theme or intent of the party.
• Start early. Save yourself the hassle of throwing together random items the day before the party. Well before the date of the party start to pay attention to potential favor ideas when you are about town. Think about your theme and your budget and then take a few extra minutes to browse when you are doing your routine errands. You never know when you might come across the perfect favors on a clearance shelf. Getting an early start cuts stress and saves you from the last minute impulse buy—you’re guaranteed to spend more money on the favors and supplies you feel pressured to buy in a hurry. Advance planning keeps the party on theme, on schedule, and on budget.
• Presentation is everything. Women appreciate those little touches of class. Make your guest gifts even grander with a beautiful presentation. Once you have decided on your theme and colors for the party, begin to look for paper or cellophane bags to match. Ribbons and tags in complimentary colors are your next step. Or, present your favors in mini baskets or buckets with a ribbon that matches the party décor. The container becomes a part of the gift.
• Mix it up. If you decide to start with one of our manicure sets for the women attending your party, complete the favor with a small nail color in a trendy new color or a bottle of hand lotion. The more you keep to the theme, the more fun the gifts will be. Or make it a pamper package and add a small box of artisanal chocolates or an aromatherapy candle.
• Picture perfect. Give your guests a gift that will really help them to remember the fun they had. Take a group photo of the ladies in attendance—ideally one in which you’re all doing something silly. Give guests a decorated picture frame as their party favor and then have the photos developed and send one to each of the guests with a thank you card.
• Fun + Useful. You may also choose to give a gift that your women-friends will be able to both use and enjoy. Compact purse mirror or a set of fun cookie cutters are useful gifts that your guests are sure to love. This also helps them to remember the special event long after the last guest has said goodbye.
