Spinoff: Do adults and children get 1st bday favors?
I would have never thought about party favors for his birthday. (You all certainly party differently down here than we do upstate!  )
Do you give favors to everyone? If you do, do you give age appropriate ones? Obviously an 18 month old would want something different than a 6 year old. Do you give adults favors? I'm LOST!!!!!!!
Please enlighten me so I don't look like a fool throwing his party on Long Island. Can you give me ideas? TIA!!!!!!!

I would just give favors for the kids.
Favors for infants? I'd like the answer to that one as well...

No favors for adults.
I am doing the same favors for all the kids....but then again the oldest kid is 3....so they are all toys most infants/toddlers would enjoy.

I am not giving favors to the adults.
The favors for the kids are varying - but only because I need 45 of them.
The babies under 1 are getting personalized wipe cases.

No favors for adults at Lucas' party.
All of the kids (10 and under) got a bucket with goodies. For the kiddies under 2 I gave individual packets of Puffs and Goldfish. For the kids 2 - 5 they got goldfish packets and for the kids 5+ they got candy boxes inside their pails.
Kids older than 10 got a box of jelly bellys for their favor.

T - you can totally give favors to the adults if you want. I am sure they will appreciate it! I just decided no since I wanted to do a lot for the kiddies.

I think if you are having it at a place it's different. I may have had favors for the adults then - actually - I prob would have.
For the backyard party - I didn't think it was necesary.
I have 45 kids I'm dealing with over here.

Look, you don't have to give favors if you don't want to. I really don't think anyone expects them--especially for a 1st birthday. My friends don't really give favors and I have never. If you're going to then I would do children only.

Here what i did: if anyone cares 
Hershey Bars-Labels made by Debsey75
Gave those to adults
Kids: Favor bags, with Elmo goodies.
Books, pencils, a water bottle or
bowl (for younger kids)
Infants: An Elmo teething ring and baby Elmo book. With additional little things.

Re: Spinoff: Do adults and children get 1st bday favors?
For DD's 2nd, we gave favors to all the kids (even the 15yo boy who got dragged there because his sisters were there.... )
No favors for the adults. For all the parties we've given, and gone to, I don't recall ever seeing favors for the adults.

Edible favors usually cover "most" ages like personalized candy bars, cookies, etc.

Re: Spinoff: Do adults and children get 1st bday favors?
You know what I LOVE...it's that almost everyone that responded to this thread had favors made by me! 
For Joey's party, which is tomorrow , we are having a carnival theme.
The kids are getting these:
They are filled with carnival sticker sheets; tattoos, cotton candy twists, lollipops, a pack of microwavable popcorn. They each are also getting a live goldfish (which I have to pick up tomorrow morning) and beanie babies as carnival prizes.
The adults are getting these:
Popcorn bags with a microwavable bag of popcorn with a personalized message. Plus they are getting the joy of taking care of their child's goldfish.

just favors for the younger kids, maybe 10 and under. No favors for the adults unless it's a wedding/christening/shower.

Re: Spinoff: Do adults and children get 1st bday favors?
It depends. We are having a casual backyard BBQ and only a few kids so no favors for us.
At a formal setting, I would probaby do favors (like at a wedding!).

Re: Spinoff: Do adults and children get 1st bday favors?
We gave Jordan almonds in funky packaging to the adults & had a "candy table" for the kids to raid. We also got them beach pails (at the dollar store!) and let them fill them! The kids loved it & even the parents thought it was clever. They also got cupcakes.

Re: Spinoff: Do adults and children get 1st bday favors?
My friend gave out little stuffed animals for her son's third birthday. I think she offered an extra one to the adults. She had extras and gave me one! I took one to keep on my dashboard. It's cute and it is a reminder of a fun day. So in that case it was the same favor the kids got.
