How to choose a party favours for children

Having your weeding soon? Are there children attending your party? okay, here is a cool idea to give children something they will remember for a long time.

Children like to be treated as a grown-up. So having their very own favour, is fun and something they will love so much.

Here are a few ideas to consider when choosing favours for children.

1. NUMBER OF CHILDREN AND AGES
Ensure you have the exact number of children and ages.

2. WHAT AGES SHOULD RECEIVE FAVOURS
Rule of thumb, is between the ages of 0 to 12 years of age. However, if you know your guests very well, and it is within your budget, you may want to include those who are between the ages of 13 to 18. But remember, a favour that may tickle a 10 year old may not capture the excitement of a 16 year old. In this case, you may want to have alternate ideas for those 13 to 18 year olds.

3. CHOOSE GENDER APPROPRIATE FAVOURS
 Once you have decided on what ages are to be receiving the favours, choose gender appropriate favours. This will be a lovely keepsake of the event.

4. GENERIC FAVOURS VERSUS CUSTOMIZED FAVOURS
 Knowing your guests and how many children attending will strongly help you decide whether to choose generic or customized favours. If there are just a few at the event and who are close relatives, then perhaps you can choose a customized favour for each child. However, if there are several that are coming to the event, then it will be prudent to choose a generic gender appropriate favour as suggested above.

5. EXTRA FAVOURS

 Always have a few extra favours on hand, to replace broken or lost favours, or for that extra guest from out of town. The above suggestions depend on the formality of your celebration. However, if the children attending your wedding or event are precious to you and are a major part of your life, giving them their own favour would be a keepsake they will always cherish.
