Birthday party favor question

So I'm probably one of the last ones
and I'm really down to the wire about putting some effort into Lo's birthday party this Sunday. We have a pool and we are doing a big outdoor party and I decided on a rock and roll theme simply because I have a million records I am trying to unload. So I've made a cool banner and made bowls out of melted records but I don't exactly have a party favor. I cut blank cardboard records and I have a turntable I am setting up so the kids can do spin art. I'm thinking of writing "thanks for coming, you rock!" On the edge of the record and calling it a day. That and everyone gets a helium balloon. We have lots of 2-6 year old kids so it's mainly for them. I am just sick of getting/buying 50 cent oriental trading company crap but can't decide if it's mandatory!
That was long, sorry. DH is sick of hearing about anything party related :) tell me if you think I need another party favor!

  • I had the same experience as @libberluru.  I stressed about it, and ended up with practically all of them left.  I think your turntable idea sounds really cute, and there is no need to do anything else.

  • Yeah whenever we leave parties I always forget to grab one and G never cares. Guess I'm not alone! He does always want to keep a balloon though, hence me making sure I have ordered enough helium balloons for every kid.
    I thought the spin art idea was fun, but I think DH is right when he says everyone will be in the pool the whole time and not feeling artsy craftsy. Oh well, I will at least make one for myself then!

  • doing the spin art that they can take home is plenty and very cute. I had a paint what makes you smile table with mini canvases and little things they could paint on and take home and everyone was happy with that.
