Favor Ideas

I am throwing my DH a surprise 30th party - and am still unsure if I am going to give out favors. Can anyone think of anything cute that I could give out? Something a little different.

THANKS!

Re: Favor Ideas

Im throwing DH a 30th bday too in July and Im just giving out as favors personalized cigars. The guest list is insane 130 people so I figure 1 cigar each person even if its a woman. I would go crazy then, so 1 at each place setting.

Re: Favor Ideas

At the party, you can have a select group of people (probably would be best to use people closest to him)...to "Roast" him.......you can buy those little bags of coffee that dunkin donuts sells for like a $1.50, they're really cute...and on it you can afix a label or tag that reads something like, "Thank You for Roasting "John" on his 30th b-day" and the date.

Im gonna get them from the Little Cigar Factory in Massapequa. I figure I will get the labels made up fairly soon and the cigars like maybe 2 weeks before his bday so they are fresh.

Re: Favor Ideas

I know - I feel like I just finished planning my wedding and I haven't really given this party much though (Horrible wife I know)

I booked the place without even seeing the room it would be in.

I like the roast thing because there is so much to roast my husband on. I JUST DON'T KNOW!!!!!Chat Icon Chat Icon

I am taking a friend of mine who just got engaged to my wedding planner this weekend so hopefully she will have some good ideas for me.

Re: Favor Ideas

Tanaholic had a great idea- if he likes poker, set up the place the tables like poker tables and give out chocolate covered poker chips out as favors like 3 or 4 in tulle. the place settings and napkins do in poker colors black and red and maybe the table linens in green. you can put real chips around the cp's too.


ahahah I think you guys just gave me an idea, DH loves to play texas holdem! hmmmmmm

WAIT -- I think I am loving this. A little theme. I wasn't even going for a theme - but this may work. It doesn't sound like it would involve that much work - I think I could do it. What could I make the centerpieces look like?

VERY CUTE. Now let me ask you guys another question - should I change the cake idea if I go with the poker theme? I was going to make the cake look like his car that he is in love with (442 Olds) -- maybe I should make it look like a deck of cards or something poker related now???
