It's {not} my party, but I'll find favors if I want to
There is nothing that I love more than a good party. Seeing friends and family, whipping up delicious dishes and just kicking back...it's a wonderful way to spend a Saturday, don't you think?
Next week we will celebrate my cousin's engagement at my parent's house. When my mom mentioned that they were brainstorming some food-themed party favors, I couldn't wait to push my way into get in on the fun. You may recall the truffle extravaganza that I helped Lindsey with for her engagement party...so fun!
I think food-themed favors are such a wonderful idea. Guests can enjoy them post-party and also eliminate trinket clutter. While looking around the web, I stumbled upon some truly fabulous and adorable party favor ideas that could easily be DIY'd and adapted for any party.
Red & Blue Taffy via Kara's Party Ideas
So chic and lovely. I adore the playful taffy and the color combo is so bold and different.
Red Velvet Cupcake Jars via cakies
Such a fun twist on the traditional cupcakes, and a lot easier to tote along for the ride home. I heart.
M&M-filled Glass Bottles via Haute Apple Pie
These ladies think of every detail for a party. A sweet label on the front adds the perfect touch to these adorable favors.
Butterscotch Moustache Pops via VintageConfections (Etsy)
I mean...could these be any more fun? Or cute? Not to mention the great photo ops.
S'mores Boxes via Parenting.com
I adore everything about this. I love the idea of DIY s'mores and there is something so pretty and sophisticated about a basic brown takeaway box with twine.
Mini Limoncello Bottles via My DIY Wedding
Such a fun and different idea. But, the real beauty here is the contrasting blue label tied with grass ribbon. Bellissimo.
Homemade Truffles (from Lindsey's Engagement Party!)
These were a bit of work, but came out oh-so-fun and special. I love.
Cookie Mix in Glass Jars via Bakerella
Everything she does is beautiful and chic, and these are no exception. How adorable?! Isn't everything prettier in a glass jar?
So there you have it. Some favors that I would love to receive at any party (so please invite me). I cannot wait to try DIY'ing some of these for parties over the next year!
Questions of the Day:

My favorite one you have done so far because I secretly wish I was a creative genius like some of this girls are when it comes to partys and favors,etc. I am bookmarking your ideas to use for my next party and I might actually use the m&m glass bottle favors maybe for this baby shower I am throwing in September Might put the baby's initial on the m&m- you can do that right? At the m&m online site? Anyway, great post!
