Wedding Favor Lollipop Trees for Kids

You would need a huge scroll to write down all the items that you can give to your wedding guests as party favors. Bath beads, candles, cocoa, incense, soaps, flowers, picture frames - well, we wont name them all! Party favors for a wedding are unique in that its difficult to think of one thing that will suit every person. At a kids birthday party you can bet theyll all love bubbles, candy and similar choices. Thats because most of the kids are about the same age with many of the same interests. When youre choosing wedding party favors, though, you must please men, women and children of all ages. Thats a tall order! Party favors which are addressed to couples, but are really suited for the woman, are commonplace. Men dont generally care about bath salts and candles. But, there are lots of party favors, like chocolates, that are suitable for men and women - and children, too. But, a favorite of most children is the classic sucker. Whether its huge and flat, small and round - kids love suckers. Give the adults salt and pepper shakers, photo albums or other things theyll like but treat the kids to suckers! Sitting through an entire wedding ceremony can be tedious and difficult for a small child. When its over, though, he or she will be glad to see that the wait was worthwhile. Give them each a sucker tree and youll see no more yawns! It doesnt take much effort to make a sucker tree. All you need is a Styrofoam cone and the tree is nearly done! Paint the cone or use it as-is. Or, wrap the cone in satin ribbon to coordinate with the color scheme of the wedding. If you choose the ribbon technique simply slide the sucker sticks between two of the ribbon pieces wrapped around the tree.

The sucker tree doesnt have to be completely covered. Just place suckers randomly or in a particular order to give each child the number of suckers you want them to have. You even have options for topping the tree. Slide in one sucker that matches the others, use a much larger or different type of sucker on top, or even make a tiny banner - with a toothpick and paper - that announces the couples names or says "Thanks".

Most any child would love to have a sucker tree but they dont absolutely have to be just for kids. Make them to set on the food tables so that guests can sample them at will or make a sucker tree for each guest to take home. Theyre quick, look great, and will suit nearly guest or any budget!
