Capture the warm breezes, bright sun and soothing nature sounds of summer in your summer party gift bag selections. By preparing gift bags for your summer party guests, you can show them how much you appreciate their attendance at your event. Additionally, filling a bag with some summer-themed favorites can make the theme of your party more obvious and create continuity. Does this Spark an idea?
Sunglasses
Help your guests protect their eyes and look cool at your summer event by placing sunglasses in your summer party gift bag. Purchase standard black shades, or instead opt for more decorative shades that feature the dominant hues of your party or prints such as flowers or bold sunshine images. Give the bags to guests at the beginning of the event so that they can slip on the glasses and wear them throughout the party.
Hand Fan
Give guests a keep-cool tool for your outdoor summer party by presenting them with a hand fan. Order elegant fans with detailed cut paper to resemble lace or, if planning a simpler party, buy solid colored fans printed with your party date or a summery slogan.
Seed Packet
Encourage guests to get out and have some fun in the sun by giving them seed packets in your summer party gift bag. Select seeds that grow well in your geographic area, increasing the likelihood that the novice gardeners at your event will have success in their garden-growing attempts.
Sunscreen
Give your guests some protection from summer's harsh rays by presenting them with sunscreen. Buy standard unscented sunscreen or, if planning a tropical event, purchase sunscreen in a coconut scent. Alert guests to the presence of this skin protector in their bag, and encourage them to lather it on as your event gets under way.
Beach Sounds CD
Present guests with an auditory reminder of summer by gifting them a beach sounds CD. Burn copies of waves lapping, seagulls squawking and rain beating softly on the sand. Create a label featuring a beach scene and your party date. Upon returning home from your event, guests can pop this CD into their player and surround themselves with the sounds of summer.
Summer Fun Picture Book
If planning a family summer party, place a kid-friendly gift in your summer gift bag. Select a picture book with a summery theme. Place one in each gift bag, giving parents something new to present to their tots come evening story time.
