We are going on a party bus and then to bar hop in new Orleans haha so I'm sure things will get a little crazy..but ages are between 18-45 so I don't want it to be too wild.

Here are my ideas:

Hi!

Bar hopping in New Orleans! Way to go on a party bus!! How fun! How about a party kit?

Small quick ideas:

Let's see, if you pass them out in the beginning, how about a small "on the go" snack, perhaps chocolates like plain m and m's (it will hold a small handful) or small wrapped up Godivas.

If it gets a little crazy, you can give them out in the end, with a little hangover kit inside? I think it will hold a couple of aspirin, mints, and a tiny sample bottle of "clear eyes." (I don't know if they sell tiny bottles of visine anymore.)

Beginning, middle and end Party KIt may include:

Or you can put the diamond inside a small party favor gift bag with more things, like

starters: small bottle of champagne, munchies for the ride, energy drink, chocolates, fun novelty sunglasses, etc....

little first aid: band aids, wet naps, tampons, etc

for the ride home: mints, aspirin, those neck pillows, sunglasses

for the morning after: sunglasses, tea bags, coffee candy, water, Starbuck coffee shot and cereal bar, toothbrush, etc.

It can be called, "Bride to be" name here" Party Kit ---- in sickness and in health....hahaha!

Let me know what you think!

Final decision:  Thanks! Great ideas! I think I'll go with the aspirin! That will be funny!

I think it would be funny too! A white diamond full of aspirins!  That's going to be a lot of aspirins and then some!

Saying Goodbye:  I have my own stash of these to use as small gift boxes and my art projects because everyone loves a diamond!  From full with little goodies or as empty to fill up on scavenger hunt adventures everyone I know young at heart love these!

I like to make little themed diamonds, like this red diamond for a teacher as desk inspiration!

What I Learned:

1.  I do love boxes!  I use these when I need something bigger than my gumball capsules to hold a gift and can be used in so many ways!

These come in handy for some little ones I know and they love them even empty to go on scavenger hunts in the backyard, around the block walks, even little treasures to find in their rooms and trade at a specified time, usually after nap time!

We sit around and arrange our cool trades and play with them and then we hold contests of who can find the most items to fit inside them!  Beat your own score next time...  Great for little ones learning to count.

Handy to keep on hand for any theme and costume imaginary play too!  Lost treasure pirate diamonds, secret message diamonds, beach shells, money diamonds, I Spy all blue or any color diamonds, what would a princess, prince, queen, king, knight keep in their diamond, etc.... even holds small snacks!

2.  I do love to make my own themed diamonds!  Here are some I've made, click on the highlighted words to visit at our various shops to view a Hello Kitty Diamond, Pirate Diamond, Pink Diamond, Teacher Red Diamond and Halloween Diamonds.

I give them to family and friends as thank yous and desk inspiration fun!  I like to open mine and arrange while I'm waiting on hold on the phone.
