Almost any child's party needs goody bags coordinated to the rest of the theme party decorations. Goody bags have their place at adult parties as well. It may well be possible that no party is complete without some version of this time treasured favor.

Easter bags for pastel wrapped candies or Egg party favors and toys are a given. It is hard to imagine a birthday party for a six-year-old that doesn't include a goody bag with at least a few party cookies or pencils. These can be colorful and inexpensive but still make each child feel that his or her presence at the party is appreciated.

Adult party ideas may include the use of goodie bags used instead of place cards. None of the usual small static cards unless they are attached to the bag to assign seating for the sake of encouraging conversation. When boy, girl, boy, girl and so on seating are planned the items in the goody bags can be used as novelty conversation starters. Bags at wedding receptions can contain disposable cameras, wine glass charms, or other trinkets to commemorate the occasion.

Goody bags for a Halloween party can contain wax lips or other simple costume elements. These goody bags can contain home baked treats for distribution at a scout meeting or other club in which all are invited and know the hostess. If the goody bags are meant to be passed out to strange children at trick-or-treat or other similar community activity it would be best to use purchased individually wrapped treats within the loosely sealed goody bags.

Perhaps the best use of goody bags is at adult sales parties. If invited guests are given the party gift in a goody bag with other small samples it is that much nicer and easier to contain on the way home from the get together.
