See as we're planning for about forty people at Cadi's party I'm only making like 8 loot bags, and I found things like activity books with crayons and bubbles in them. I may throw a few pieces of left over candy in it too. The age limit for us this year is 8

Yes i always made up treat bags for my daughters birthday parties, i would usually put in a balloon, some sweets, some stickers and a bangle or two,or little ring, i tried to keep the expense down as our budget was limited, but yes one can get carried away,especially as you think you have finished the treat bag, and then you see something and think oh that would be just great in the bag.

And we always played pass the parcel too, we used to make sure every child got a lollipop and then a small gift for the main winner at the end,seemed to work out quite well.

I did treat bags for Jonah's party...I think 14 or 15, and kept it pretty inexpensive. It was a pirate theme, and I found some gold chocolate coins, some tatoos, some candy, and some pirate noise maker thingys. It is nice to have a favour bag. I do agree with Husky mom...too much candy is just not a great idea. A piece or two or three is really more than enough.
