FAQs
Should you give favors at an adult birthday party?
You can, but you don’t have to! While party favors may be expected (but not required) at formal events such as weddings, you’re certainly not required to have them for a birthday party. But if you want to spend the extra cash to send your friends and family home with a fun treat, you should absolutely do so.
Are party favors per person or per family?
While we usually think of party favors as being per person, to offset the cost of more expensive items you can alot one per couple or per family. For some party favors it may even make more sense to do this, like if you’re gifting a framed photo of the couple.
How many favors do you need for 100 guests?
One favor per guest should be sufficient unless you’re gifting favors per couple or family unit. If your favors are delicate or small, you may want to have a few backups in case they get broken or misplaced. But usually 100 favors for 100 people should be plenty.
