DIY Bride

To keep your youngest guests happy, we’ve come up with some great ideas for a goodie bag. Given at the reception, the contents of the bag will have things to keep the kids occupied and will help them feel part of the festivities.

Goodie bags can be just about any color or size you”d like and are easily found at party-supply stores or online at orientaltrading.com. Oriental Trading is a great place to find bulk party supplies and toys for this project.

Supplies Needed :

* Paper or celophane goodie bags

* Name tag for bag

• Box of crayons

• Notepads

• Assorted Stickers

• Coloring books

• Smile Face Bullseye Games

• Assorted bite-size candies

Directions :

• Simply divvy up the goodies among the bags, write the child’’s name on each tag, and distribute at the reception. Easy!

Tips :

• Make sure the goodies are age-appropriate for the kids. A 9-year old often won”t appreciate the same things one would give a 3-year old.

• Stay away from things that could stain linens, clothes or kids such as markers.

• Remember to include things both boys and girls will like. Our list above is pretty gender-neutral.
