Party bag non problem

Do I leave the tag on my child’s party bags that indicate it’s a colour in your own party bag set with stickers and sweets in. With the child’s name written on. Or do I take them off and make hand made labels with ribbon and write a cutsie little message about designing your own bag ....

Why do they need a label? Isn't it obvious what they are? Does it need instructions?
If it's obvious I'd just leave them. If they're all the same , don't put names on. It gets complicated if a child doesn't turn up or someone can't find their bag...just easier to have them all the same.

Absolutely no need for a label on that!

Fabulous! I sometimes over faff!

They're really cute by the way! :-)

Thaaaaaaanks! An really cheap a £1each and a little less plastic consumed in the plastic tat fest that will be her party.

In situations like this, I find it helps to remind myself that at 5/6, they don't give a fig for your carefully constructed labels, or homemade cake. They think nothing of the hours creating a skeletons face with royal icing and edible pens.

They have no taste. They just want plastic, garish tat that toots, whistles or springs about.

Therefore, take the easy route.

Totally agree with Groggy. Label or not, there is a good chance they will root through for the Haribo and then leave the bag on a kitchen surface for the next three weeks, at which point it will be binned! But they are cute!

We used these for ds' party bags. I left them as they are. The dc spent about 10 mins colouring them in while I tidied up the food and sorted the music for the party games. Then they all had a personalised bag 😂

No need to label. They are fab. Can I be cheeky and ask where you bought them from? Thanks

Chillyegg · 07/04/2019 16:56

Not at all cheeky Ewock I got them from ‘The Works’. Bloody bargain.
