Party Favours that will be a hit!

Updated: 5 days ago

Turning 18 is a once-in-a-lifetime milestone—and nothing says “I planned this like a pro” quite like a thoughtfully packed party favour box. Whether you’re hosting a glam bash or a chilled backyard hangout, giving guests a take-home treat is the perfect final touch.


Here’s how I put together a stylish, fun, and Instagram-worthy favour box using Penn Group’s products for my nieces Pretty in Pastels 18th.




Step 1: Choose Your Favour Box Style


For this special occasion I chose a Clear Acetate Boxes to show off colour and style for our customised mini gifts inside.


Try to pick a style that fits the party vibe, whether that’s elegant, edgy, playful, or pastel.


Tip: Match the box colour to your party theme or the birthday girl/guy’s favourite colour for an extra personal touch.




Step 2: Fill It with Fabulous Favourites


Now the fun part! what’s going inside? Here are some age-appropriate (and crowd-pleasing) filler ideas:


Self-Care Mini Kits

  • Nail file/buffer

  • Bath salts

  • Unscented Whipped body butter (choice of scent)

  • Tropical Mango Fragrance mist (choice of scent)

  • Multi colour/style Hair scrunch’s

In cute mini sizes.

Use Penn Group’s custom labels, some shredded tissue paper two shimmer tissue paper to cushion items stylishly and add a girly background.

Optional: Sweet Treats

  • Mini jars of retro sweets (Penn Group can supply and style the jars too!)

  • Custom-wrapped chocolates using Penn Group’s printable labels

  • Cookies in clear bags with ribbon ties



Optional: Don’t forget to add a “Thank You for Coming” tag using Penn’s ready-made tags or DIY your own with their blank cardstock and twine.




Step 3: Style It Like a Pro:


Presentation is everything—and this is where Penn Group’s packaging accessories really shine:


  • Flower decoration for a elegant touch.

  • Tissue or shredded paper: Add volume, colour, and protection for your goodies.

  • A cute box strap for your guess to easily travel with.


Other options;

  • Satin or organza ribbon: Tie it around the box for a polished finish.

  • Gift tags: Write guests’ names or a cheeky quote like “Legally fun now!”



Feeling extra creative? Add some Penn Group vinyl lettering to the outside of the box for instant flair and customisation.
