Are you looking to make your own party favors for your Independence Day party? Here are a few ideas that you can put together yourself. Be sure that your favors are age-appropriate for your guests.
Sparklers. Take about 5-6 sparklers out of the box and tie them together with a red, white, and / or blue ribbon. Put them in either party favor boxes or party favor bags in patriotic colors. If you feel really craft, get plastic buckets in flag colors and print your guests' names on them!
Fireworks. Only appropriate to give to the adults !!!! Buy small, harmless fireworks like Roman Candles or Bottle Rockets and tie them up in red, white, and blue! Add a package of customized matches for extra flair.
Candies in USA colors. M & Ms are your best bet – separate them into red, white, and blue. Put them in clear cellophane bags and tie them up with a themed ribbon. To personalize, add a "thank you" tag with a flag embellishment and guests' names.
American Flags. Give your guests something to wave during the fireworks! Purchase mini-American flags and attach a "thank you" card to the wooden pole using patriotic colors. Guests can use them during the party and take them home to decorate!
Glow Sticks or Necklaces. You can find these in blue and red but getting plenty in all colors will do just fine too! Hand them out in a festive bag or box and encourage your guests to light them up when it gets dark!
A Few Extra Summer Party Favors …
"Fun in the Sun" pack. Gather any combination of the following items: sunscreen, SPF chapstick, a water bottle for spritzing, a battery-powered fan, a sunvisor, flip-flops, plastic sunglasses. Find little mesh bags or drawstring backpacks to load the items in. Personalize using indelible marker or paint with each guests' name.
"Summer Honey." Find a local honey vendor and either buy jars that are prepackaged or, if it's more economic, buy a big batch and put it in jars yourself. Attach a "thank you" card to the jars with a festive ribbon matching your party theme or color.
"Grill Mate." Everybody loves to grill in the summer! Mix up your favorite grilling spice rub and package it in little bottles or baggies. Attach a "thank you" card and on the back give a few ideas of how to use the rub!
"Bug Off." Bugs are little pests that can ruin the atmosphere of any good party. Give your guests a favor that can work for them during the party and go home with them for other summer fun activities outside. Put a small citronella candle and a can of bugspray in a party favor box or party favor bag. Personalize with guests' names.
"Lazy Dayz." Who does not love a brand new beach towel ?! Buy them in bulk in fun summer colors / prints and tie them up with a festive ribbon. Guests will remember your party every time they use their summer towel.
