Cheap Party Favors Don't Have to Be Poor Quality
By Damen Choy
These days, we're all working to find ways to save money everywhere we can. If you're planning a party, you're probably looking to save money on party favors. However, you don't have to settle for the tacky, cheap party favors you'll find at your local dollar store. You can give your guests quality yet inexpensive favors - and here's how.
There are basically two options you can choose for getting cheap but good party favors for your event.
Do It Yourself
First, if you're the creative type, you can make your own. With a little time and some inexpensive materials, you can give your guests gifts that include a personal touch.
One very simple and fun idea is to make your own, unique and colorful candle holders. With just some inexpensive colored sand and a few clear-glass jars you can create a beautiful gift that can be used over and over. You can save your jelly jars, or buy jars in bulk, but just make sure that you still have the lids to keep the sand from spilling. Pour the different colors of sand into each jar, layering the colors as you go. Then place small candles into the sand, and voila! You have a nice-looking, usable gift for well under a dollar each!
Only the sky and your imagination can limit the possibilities for hand-making your own cheap party favors. The only downside to creating them yourself is the time involved. If you're very busy, or if you're simply not the "crafty" type, then you might want to look at your second option.
Finding Ready-Made, Cheap Party Favors Online
If you're watching your budget as we all are, you don't have to settle for the cheaply made junk at your corner dollar store that breaks easily and looks cheesy. You might be surprised at the quality of the items available online. Because of the savings involved with bulk sales and low overhead, online stores can those pass big savings along to you. Also, because there is no brick-and-mortar store, there's no middle man to pay.
There are thousands of options out there, so save fun searching. If your gifts don't have to be themed to match your particular event, consider partnering with a friend so you can buy in larger quantities, which will really save you money!
Whether you choose to create your own gifts for your guests or find some quality, inexpensive ones online, with a little effort great, cheap party favors are within your reach.
