Yummy Party Favors




Since the guests at my daughter's first birthday party were mostly adults, I had to forgo the little favor bags filled with cheap plastic dollar-spot toys we usually give out. (Hey, the 5 & under crowd love those!)
So I opted to make some cute snack food items for them to take home. I had them ready to go on trays and brought them out at the end of the party.



I made the Fall Snack Mix that my family loves and packaged it in these little boxes I found at Hobby Lobby. (They are like mini collapsible popcorn boxes) They were too plain looking, so of course I had to decorate them. I used a scalloped circle punch on some scrapbook paper, stamped a "1" on it, and stapled on a loop of ribbon and a felt flower. I put the boxes inside a cellophane bag & tied it with a tulle bow.





I also made these jumbo marshmallows by pushing a lollipop stick into them & dipping them in chocolate & adding shaped sprinkles. I let them dry & then packaged them up!
I bought these polka-dot paper sacks (also at Hobby Lobby) and made a digital scrapbook image on CropMom with my daughter's photo on it. I printed them on cardstock, cut them out & adhered them to the bags for everyone to take their favors home in.


It WAS a hoot and I think everyone enjoyed the favors!
