There’s an exciting event coming up—your child’s Sweet 16! Sweet 16 parties are a coming-of-age celebration in many cultures, and signify the transition of a girl into young womanhood. To celebrate this milestone, families often throw a large shindig with music, food, and dancing!
A Sweet 16 party has many elements. One minor, but still notable element, is the party favors you’ll give out to guests as a token of their attendance. If you’re looking for unique, memorable party favor ideas that will make your child’s Sweet 16 one to remember, let’s look at a few!
Custom T-Shirts Launched via Air Cannon
Why hand out t-shirts when you can launch them into a crowd? Renting a t-shirt air cannon adds excitement and energy to the party. Guests will love the thrill of catching a custom shirt designed for the birthday celebration. It turns a standard favor into an interactive game.
But before you book a t-shirt cannon rental online, look over your options closely; some cannons are made for outdoor use, and others for indoor use. You’ll want to choose a cannon based on your venue.
Mini Succulent Plants
A small succulent is a favor that will last long after the party ends. These small, hardy plants are low-maintenance, so even if not all your guests are green thumbs, they shouldn’t have much trouble keeping their new greenery alive. You can place the succulents in custom pots with the date, your child’s name, and a fun design printed on them as a thoughtful keepsake of the special day.
Photo Booth Strips
A photo booth provides hours of entertainment for party guests. It also doubles as a party favor station. Guests can take home their photo strips as a reminder of all the fun they had. Provide props like hats, glasses, and boas to encourage silly and creative pictures.
Personalized Candy Bar
A candy bar is always a popular choice. Guests can fill a bag with their favorite sweets to take home. To make it more personal, create custom wrappers for the candy bars with your child’s name and the date of the party. You could also offer personalized bags for guests to fill.
DIY Lip Balm Station
If you want a favor that doubles as a fun activity for guests, set up a DIY lip balm station. Pick a table at the party and stock it with all the necessary ingredients, like beeswax, shea butter, and various flavor oils. Guests can create their own custom lip balm to take home in a small tin.
A Memorable Celebration
Guests won’t forget your child’s Sweet 16 anytime soon with these unique party favors to remember it by! Choose the favor that you and your child think would be most fun for your family and the people celebrating with you.
