Fill the bag with whatever goodie relates to your party.

Bag Birthday Party Favor

For any birthday, send your guests away with a small treat that mirrors the theme of the party.

If you are turning fifty, get small golden cellophane pouches and fill them with gold chocolate coins.

If you have a child who loves Thomas the Train, find bright blue paper bags and have the kids decorate them with their favorite Thomas stickers, then write their own names. Fill the bags with little candies, a sticker pack of Thomas, and even a few Dollar Store steam engines!
