Purpose of Party Favors

Core Functions

• Gratitude: Tangible "thanks for coming."
• Keepsake: Memory trigger — "I remember that party!"
• Theme extension: Reinforces party world (pirate coins, wizard wands).

Bonus Roles

• Entertainment: Mini-games, puzzles, crafts as favors.
• Social: "Sign this card" favors spark interaction.
• Branding: Corporate events — logo'd items.
• Utility: Bubbles, lip balm, seed packets — useful + memorable.
• Tradition: Expected at weddings, showers, birthdays.

Best favors match the guest age, theme, and budget — and feel personal, not generic.
