Graduation season is upon us. Planning a party for someone who has had a huge personal accomplishment is an honor. And can be overwhelming! Let’s be real!
Favors can be especially tricky. They need to have broad appeal, fit in your budget, and be something a person would actually like and enjoy. That can be a tall order – especially if you are planning a large open-house style event with the potential for a lot of people to buy for!
Let me help you check off one of your graduation party hostess duties by giving you ideas for stylish favors you can send your guests home with. Each of these favor ideas includes packaging tips. Because presentation is everything, right!? Even the simplest, cheapest favor can look like a million bucks if it’s packaged thoughtfully.
This post is all about graduation party favors 2022.
Graduation Party Favors to Give in 2022
Favor #1: Cookies
Cookie favors are a crowd pleaser. Pop a cookie (or two or three) into this adorable One Smart Cookie bag, and you’re good to go! (Tip: For outdoor graduation parties, you may want to steer clear of cookies that could melt!)
Favor #2: Popcorn
Pop some delicious caramel corn, fill food-safe bags, add this cute sticker, and tie a pretty bow with adorable graduation-themed ribbon. Graduation party favors for guests are done and done!
Favor #3: Candy
Satisfy your guests’ sweet tooth with a customized clear box of candy. Choose the graduate’s favorite, and buy it in bulk. Amazon is a virtual candy store. For instance, they have bulk peach rings, bulk watermelon slices, and bulk butter mints.
Favor #4: Hand Cream
Moving away from food, hand cream is a solid choice for a graduation party favor, especially if you package it thoughtfully. If it were my party, I would place a hand cream in a mini glassine bag, and add a personalized sticker to seal it. Super cute and requires minimal time to package!
Favor #5: Hand Sanitizer
Can you really ever have enough hand sanitizer? I think not. (And my kids will agree! I’m always reminding them to use it!) I would start with a customized label (the example below can be personalized to your graduation event – ex. Sarah’s Graduation Party 5.10.2022).
Favor #6: Candles
If your budget is a little bit bigger and time is a little tighter, these candle favor sets are absolutely adorable. You don’t have to do a thing to them; they will arrive in a box ready to gift.
Favor #7: Lip Balm
Dr. Bronner’s lip balm is among my family’s favorite. We especially love the dark blue peppermint tubes. Since they are packaged in a few common school colors, you could potentially coordinate your graduation favor with the graduate’s alma matter. Fun, right!? I would package these in a mini Kraft paper bag sealed with a customized graduation-themed sticker.
Favor #8: Reusable Bags
Like many of you, I am trying to do my part to cut back on the number of plastic bags I consume. Having a small reusable bag in my handbag helps me in that effort (no need to remember to grab it from the trunk before heading into the store!). My tip for this favor is to keep the bag design broad so it has wide appeal, and then add a personalized tag that references the reason for the celebration.
Favor #9: Luggage Tag
We recently bought new luggage (similar), and I realized we are short on luggage tags – especially cute ones. So, I can speak from personal experience that it is something people would enjoy receiving as a party favor! – especially if the sentiment is evergreen (and not specific to the event). I would stick with something about adventure, which is a nod to graduation but not too specific. Package it in a customized bag, and you can check it off your party planning list!
