I by no means expect goodie bags or favors from any party that I (or the boys) attend, but having said that I wouldn't think of sending our guests home without one. This is not because of any rules of decorum or some super competitive mommy streak, but because its so much fun. Yes, I know many of you would not agree with that statement (A definitely falls into this bucket--my own sister--gasp!). But every year I look forward to hunting/making little trinkets to send home with our guests.
For the boys' *Uglydoll Themed Party* we went with a lime green and red color palette and bought gift bags in coordinating colors. Then we stuffed the bags with Uglydoll Keychains (a budget buster, but I couldn't resist), a C&J selected mix of candy with custom packaging, Hubba Bubba Bubble Tape and Ugly Sticks (aka pretzel sticks coated in green chocolate and mini M&M's--see link for Martha's how-to). The goodies bags were tied off with a label that noted: You're Beautiful on the Inside, Man! Thanks for Making Our Party a Blast!

Hi April,
I found the pictures just by searching on the web. A lot of the pix came from David Horvath's blog, which he has since restarted, so it doesn't have the sprinkling of cute pictures it did before.

I'm planning my son first birthday using the theme ugly dolls! I was wondering where do you get the ugly doll picture templates on your labels?

I just wanted to let you know that your Ugly party has inspired ours. We started preparations today. http://bit.ly/25Pk5l

I used Microsoft Power Point to do the labels, but you could easily use Word as well. I start by using the autoshape template to add a rectangle with rounded corners to the page. Then I change the color and boarder of the rectangle, add text and images from the web, then make modifications and print. Once you have it printed then you cut out the labels and attach with a staple. Thanks & Good Luck!

I have to say that the party favors/cupcakes were even more impressive in real life. You did an awesome job!

I love reading your site. I have 2 year old twins and am already looking forward to their frog and bumble bee birthday party this fall! You have reminded me to be on the look out for fun party favors...
