Any ideas/thoughts on favors for adults at a kids party?

Looking for some ideas.

Wanted to give everyone a wallet size of DS' 1st BDay pic in a frame, but I cannot find a frame that is masculine enough and not wedding-y.

Any other thoughts/ideas?

ETA: This is obviously for DS' 1st Bday Party

I say a big sincere thank you would be enough. Its a kids party, why spend extra money for adult favors. If you want to give out photo of son you can always put in the thank you card when you mail those out.

Re: Any ideas/thoughts on favors for adults at a kids party?

That is such a sweet thought.. but I agree that adult favors are probably not necessary and doubtfully expected.

The food and drink that you will be serving should be more than enough. And with regard to a pic... you can send a photo thank you card!

If you are absolutely set on adult favors, maybe just do chocolate lollipops? All the 2x3 frames I found are either too pricey for bulk purchase or - as you mentioned - look pretty wedding-y.

Thanks!

I agree, I dont think that adults will be looking for anything, but maybe something edible.

I don't plan on doing anything for the adults. I'm still debating if I'm even doing kids favors, as there will only be about 5 little kids.

I made candy bar wrappers. Everyone seemed to love them. The finished product looked a little neater. Didn't cost much either..just the price of the candy bars which were .40 each.

Re: Any ideas/thoughts on favors for adults at a kids party?

I am having exactly the opposite problem. DS birthday is essentially an adult party & I have mo idea what to give the 10 kids that will be there. I was thinking beach pails filled with goodies.

I am giving my adult guests confetti almonds. I went so far overboard on everything else, I figured free liquor and free food is enough..KWIM?

Sorry no ideas, but I didn't do favors for the adults... Just goodie bags for the kids.

I did this too. I wrapped it in cellophane and it looked fabulous! Got them at A C Moore who regularly has them on sale.

Everyone semed to really love the idea.

For my ds's bday we only had immediate family...but the adults all got mini bottles of grey goose vodka--Its been one h e l l of a year so I figured the least I owed everyone was a drink!

Did you check out "plant a memory?" They have some very reasonable favors. With Spring, it's a nice little gift that says thank you.
