What favors should I use?

Question

I just graduated college with a BS in business. I am having a grad party and inviting family, friends, and co-workers. It's a Sunday buffet at a catering hall. I don't know what to give as favors. I don't wanna spend too much $. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Congrats! My suggestion is to get copies of something like the "Don't Quit" poem and tie them up scroll style with a ribbon with the date of your grad and your name printed on it. Your guests can frame it if they like or keep it as is.

Answer 2

Buy seed packets they can be found on line and cheap. You can use it as a metaphor, you know how you begin small but one day grow to be successful.
The seed packet should be less than a $1.50 and it doesn't require too much work on your part except to place the order. Go to google and do a search under party favors and compare prices.

Answer 3

Congratulations on you Bachelors Degree! You've worked hard for it, so enjoy your special day! Although you don't really need to have favors, by doing so you are letting everyone know that you are a gracious hostess. Here are some ideas:

1. Mini bottles of wine with your name and date of graduation on the label
2. Chocolate truffles in boxes with bows (Sees is great for this)
3. A favorite poem, or saying, tied with ribbon or twine, for each guest to take home.
4. Small flower pots filled with seeds or blooms (sort of a "look to the future" thing)
5. Jars of candy and nuts with scoops and small, clear take out containers for the guests to fill themselves
6. Miniature picture frame with yours truly.

The list goes on. Think about who you are inviting and what they have meant to you. Thank them for coming and for their support during these college years. And, know that their support and love gets reflected back to them thru your ongoing success in life!

Now I'm thinking really inexpensive here. You could have something clever printed up on M&M's and wrap some up in small gift pachages for each guest. (check their web) For more money, you could have custom made candy wrappers made wih a picture of you in your cap and gown. (They are everywhere on the web.( compare prices.) This web site gives you free printables for teabag envelopes and inserts(where you could give a personal message to everyone).I'm paraphraseing here...look for the one that says, when you have this tea, think of me.

I am planning my wedding and just got some favors from www.alwaysinfavor.com. They are mostly geared towards wedding receptions but have fun gifts that might give you some ideas at least.

Answer 6

Answer 7

If I were coming to your party, I would love to receive a picture of you in your cap and gown, or otherwise . A small billfold size in an inexpensive frame would impress me!

Answer 8

go to a crystal warehouse, they usually have nice things for cheap, you just have to look for one, in the nj area there is one called Crystal Clear and you can get many gift type things for only a dollar or two

Answer 9

Airplane liquor bottles!

No really, is it that formal that you need to give favors? You just graduated, they should all be bringing you gifts!
