Takeaways

Everyone loves leaving with party favors or other takeaways! It's a gracious way to say “thanks for coming,” and to keep the occasion in your attendees' thoughts. Candy and cheap toys are common, so set your sights a little higher and give thoughtful or useful items that tie into your party's theme.
