Here's a fun favor idea that's all mine (for a change). I used these for prizes when I led training classes at the corporate level. I called them "stress bubbles," but you can call them whatever you want. You can give them to trick-or-treaters, or use them as party favors - alone or in a bag of goodies.

You need:

• "Wedding Favor" bubbles. Avoid the fancy packaged ones at craft stores and look for 6-packs at $1 stores or big bulk packs at places like Target (in the regular party favor section). You shouldn't have to pay more than 25¢ each. Alternate option: They make wedding favor bubbles now that look like little test tubes. If you're having a party where that would be a fun favor, then spend the extra $. Don't forget, though, that places like Michael's & JoAnn's have 40%-off coupons on a regular basis!
• Tape. Try to match the height of the label, plus a little bit if possible. If you use a laser printer, the width of the tape isn't as crucial, but if you use an inkjet printer, you'll want to cover all of the print. If you can get 1" wide clear tape, this is perfect.
• Labels. Make these yourself. You can fit several onto 1 sheet. The labels should be just under 1" high and about 3.5" long. You can do black text & graphics on colored paper, or full color graphics on white paper, etc. If you like, I have a .pdf (Portable Document Format) with several different labels that I can email to you. You just have to ask. Other ideas: Put each persons' name on a bottle. Use a plain mailing label, and handwrite the message or add a sticker scene.
• Stickers &/or ribbon. If desired.

To do:

1. Design your labels, following the specifications above & print onto plain paper. Print & cut out. Add stickers, if desired.
2. Wrap the labels around the center of the bottle and tape or glue in place. If it's possible that the ink will run, apply tape across the whole label.
3. Add ribbon around the neck, if desired.
4. Share!
