Birthday Party Fun: Goodie Bag AlternativesDeborah Shelton If you’re looking for alternatives to pricey goodie bags, here are a few ideas that will make your guests--and wallet--happy. Any Fun Party: Take Polaroid photos of each guest with the birthday child, and decorate cardboard picture frames, or make frames with popsicle sticks. Dance Party: Let the birthday child create a mix CD of favorite music. Burn copies for everybody and play it at the party too!. Hawaiian Party: Decorate inexpensive plastic sunglasses with artificial flowers. String together more artificial flowers for one-of- a-kind leis. Royal Party: Decorate paper crowns and make scepters from wooden dowels and plastic jewels. Sleepover Party: Decorate plastic light-switch plates with stickers. Allow your young guests to embellish white pillowcases with fabric paints for a take-home sleepy surprise. Spring or Garden Party: Paint flower pots and include a pack of flower seeds for children to grow at home. Survivor Party: Send the children on a scavenger hunt equipped with compasses and trail mixes that they can make before the hunt. The compass will become a new favorite gadget, and the trail mix is a lot healthier that candy treats. Tea Party: Let the girls decorate straw hats with artificial flowers, which they can wear for the party, and later take home. Complete the party with candy necklaces. Have fun!
