Top 10 Ideas for Party Bags It has become a custom that all children expect a party bag at the end of a party, however the term 'party bag' is often the term used to refer to some form of gift.
Here are my Top 10 ideas for party bags, so that you can ensure the children go home with a big smile on their face.
1. The Traditional Party Loot Bag The loot bag is usually made out of plastic and this type of bag is still by far the most popular. Plastic loot bags are cheap to use and are readily available in lots of popular children's themes, such as Hello Kitty, Disney Princess, Bob the Builder, Spiderman, to name a few. You can also buy them in any non licensed theme to co-ordinate with tableware and decorations. Fill them with pocket money toys and sweets and kids will be more than happy!
2. Cellophane and Paper Bags If you prefer to give something a bit different to a plastic loot bag then you could opt for a Cellophane bag or Paper bag. Cello bags are available in plain or printed designs and you can fill them with little toys and sweets. They look great tied with some ribbon to give them a finishing touch. Paper bags are great because they are eco-friendly and recyclable. You can buy them printed or plain in a range of lovely bright colours and in a variety of sizes to suit your needs. To add a bit more excitement for the child, wrap the gifts in a sheet of coloured tissue paper before placing in the paper bag.
3. Party Cups A party bag doesn't necessarily have to a bag. Try using a paper cup! You could decorate a paper cup or make it a craft activity at the party and get the children to decorate their own cups. Simply attach a ribbon or string to it to form a handle and fill with treats. Kids will be most impressed going home with one of these cups and they can even keep them afterwards to store little bits and pieces.
