I'm still mulling and I like the idea of something edible - who can complain about candy? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boy-favors-for-princess-party#post-2673177 Tue, 03 Jan 2017 09:48:21 +0000 Anagram 2673177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Panda: my girls had a ballet themed party and I had a similar problem with favors. While obviously, there are a lot of boys/men in ballet, all the favors I could find already made were all girls wearing tutus. And I didn't have the desire or time to make my own favors.</p> <p>So in the end, I did an edible favor--pink cotton candy, individually packaged, with little labels that said "pink tulle candy" or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boy-favors-for-princess-party#post-2672849 Mon, 02 Jan 2017 10:34:24 +0000 Mrs Panda 2672849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone, the alternative ideas are great, but I also feel better that it'll be fine (better, maybe) to give everyone the same thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boy-favors-for-princess-party#post-2672826 Mon, 02 Jan 2017 09:12:59 +0000 looch 2672826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 3, my son would have been cool with whatever...he loved the gift bags that had stickers, play doh, and random stuff that had nothing to do with the theme of the party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boy-favors-for-princess-party#post-2672812 Mon, 02 Jan 2017 07:33:54 +0000 erinbaderin 2672812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @hitchhiker: I don't want to teach my son that some things are for boys and other things are for girls. Some girls won't be interested in princesses, some boys will. Give them all the same thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boy-favors-for-princess-party#post-2672809 Mon, 02 Jan 2017 07:04:53 +0000 hitchhiker 2672809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To be honest, I would be upset if my daughter got different favors at a more"boy" themed party, and I hope I would be upset for my son of he got different favors at "girl" themed party. I don't think the kids think of these things as gendered and I think that's great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boy-favors-for-princess-party#post-2672800 Mon, 02 Jan 2017 03:42:03 +0000 lamariniere 2672800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son also doesn't mind princess favors. He recently went to a Frozen party where he was the only boy guest and he got a few Olaf themed favors (an Olaf craft, Olaf candy and a build your own marshmallow Olaf). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boy-favors-for-princess-party#post-2672798 Mon, 02 Jan 2017 03:18:11 +0000 ALV91711 2672798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 3 and loves princesses. I wouldn't worry about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boy-favors-for-princess-party#post-2672796 Mon, 02 Jan 2017 02:05:24 +0000 FannyMae 2672796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>you could go with something like a knight? Mike the Knight? boyish, but still in the same theme. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boy-favors-for-princess-party#post-2672792 Mon, 02 Jan 2017 00:37:42 +0000 skipra 2672792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My boys would probably love it! They do seem to like all the bright pink girlie stuff. But how about foil balloons if you want something more neutral? You can get a variety including just plain colors inflated at the dollar store and I think all kids love them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boy-favors-for-princess-party#post-2672791 Mon, 02 Jan 2017 00:26:28 +0000 wheres_c 2672791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son loved the princess favors at girls parties. A change of pace from the superhero parties.<br /> Decorated cookies, gummies and candies are always loved too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boy-favors-for-princess-party#post-2672790 Mon, 02 Jan 2017 00:12:02 +0000 Mrs Panda 2672790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: good ideas!</p> <p>@Woolly Mammoth: I was kind of wondering if that would be the case - I know my girls are thrilled with super hero or ninja turtle or whatever "boy" things! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boy-favors-for-princess-party#post-2672789 Mon, 02 Jan 2017 00:02:14 +0000 Woolly Mammoth 2672789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3-year-old boy would be perfectly happy with princess-themed favors.

Then the color and ribbons and sparkliness is customizable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boy-favors-for-princess-party#post-2672784 Sun, 01 Jan 2017 23:47:35 +0000 Mrs Panda 2672784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you had a princess party for your 3-year old daughter and there would be boy guests, would you have more "boyish" party favors for the boys? At least as an option (for either the boys or girls)? If so, what would the more "boyish" option be? </p>
