DIY Decorating and Design host Nancy Golden shares some ideas for formal dinner-party favors. - Buy small packets of coffee, tie them with a ribbon and place one in each coffee cup, atop a foil muffin-tin liner.
- For a New Year's Eve party, buy a small alarm clock for each guest and attach a card that reads "Time to Party." Sprinkle confetti at each place setting.
- Ready-made place-card holders are available. You can buy matching ones or a variety or designs.
- Place a fresh flower in a bud vase at each plate and let your guests take them home.
- Use a glass pen to personalize a wine goblet for each guest.
- Stock up on votive and gel candles, bath oils, tiny picture frames, etc. Keep them on hand to use as party favors.
- Use fabric pens or paints to personalize linen napkins for your guests.
