Graduation party favors don't have to be anything big or expensive, simple little items to remember the graduate and the graduation party are all all that are necessary.
Favors are usually inexpensive and are meant as a memory inducer for later times, or they may be just small toys or candy.
One thing that can be used to make the graduation favors memorable is the container that you put them in.
It is much easier than you think to make your own graduation party favors that are fun and interesting.
If you go to a department store, you can ask for a clothing box to use as a model.
You will need some friends who are good with scissors, cutting and gluing.
What you want to do is use the box to make small patterns on bristle board.
You can use any color, though black works well.
The idea here is to make mini brief cases.
Once the case is made, you need to add a handle for looks and put in it what you would like.
You can even put little name plaques on them.
This is the first party favor, and the rest can go inside the brief case.
Inside you can add candy, pens or pencils that have the educational institution's logo on them.
These are available at the book stores and supply shops at that particular institution.
You could add a note pad, a mini grad hat, or some jewelry.
You can find these at dollar stores.
You can collect pictures over the weeks before graduation and add these to the brief case, too.
For people going into research, you might give them a funny pair of gag glasses.
Science people might receive a stuffed mouse or rat.
Any small emblem that represents the school they are graduating from is always a good idea.
If it's a high school graduation, you could put things in the box that symbolize what each is planning to achieve in a career.
