The souvenirs have the role of eternalizing the event in the minds of the guests. Among so many options, it is worth highlighting the surprise bag, which contains sweets and toys that please children.
The surprise bag is more than a pleasant memory. It allows each guest to take home a small piece of the party. But do you know how to put together this kind of special treat?
How to make surprise bag?
As the name implies, the surprise bag must fulfill the role of surprising guests. Therefore, it is recommended that the packaging is not transparent and has a visual identity according to the proposal of the party.
The choice of packaging
Different materials can be used to make the bags with treats, such as kraft paper, fabric, jute, felt and TNT. You buy the ready packaging in the color you prefer and personalize it later, according to the birthday theme chosen by the child.
Items to put in the bag
If you are going to create a bag with sweets, then it is worth including:
- Bullets
- Candy
- Chocolate Coins
- Bubble gum
- Candy in the jar
- Peanut candy
- Girl foot
- Sweet popcorn
Children are very fond of treats, but that alone is not enough. It is also important to include some toys in the mimo. The suggestions are:
- Mini flashlight
- Crazy spring
- Bladder for water
- Soapbubble
- Crystal Ring
- Whistle
- Mother in law tongue
- Trolleys
- Aquaplay
Surprises can be school supplies. If this is the bag’s proposal, buy the following items:
- Crayons
- Pencil
- Painting notebook
- Colorful marker
- Case
- Sharpener
- Ruler
- Glue
- Rubber
Suitability to the theme
It is very important to align the content of the surprise bag with the theme of the party. If possible, order candies and other treats with customized packaging. Also, choose toys that have to do with the theme.
The pirate-themed bag, for example, asks for an eye patch and chocolate coins, just like the circus theme requires a clown nose. Be creative!
