Party Favor Etiquette Question

I am having LittleP's birthday party next week and I have a question about party favors. 

 

About 6 friends can't make the party, but have sent gifts. Is a thank you card enough, or should I give them party favors, too? Are the favors only for party attendees?

Re: Party Favor Etiquette Question

  • I say that the party favors are only for the attendees and you don't have to feel obligated to give the people that can't make it favors. But, if you happen to see any of these people and have the favors available, then I'd give them one, but definitely don't go out of your way...a thank you card is enough.

  • Agreed.  If you have extra, it's a cute idea but don't go out of your way.
  • ditto the pp's.

  • Great! That is what I was thinking, but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to offend anyone.

  • We usually order favors for the amount of people we invite, so we always end up having extra.  We give them to the people who send gifts but don't attend, but like everyone else said, we don't go out of our way to get it to them.

    We originally invited 28 kids and I ordered 30 favors. I wanted to keep one or two for CJ, it is a cute crayon roll and coloring book, perfect for diaper bag storage, etc. But then I had to  invite 2 more kids due to unforseen running into old friends and boom, I was in a quandry!!

     

    Thanks!
