Looking for summer party favors? I have a great idea for Mason jar BBQ party favors to share with you today. Let’s create some simple but charming favors in a Mason jar. I even have some free printable tags to add to the outside just for you. I know you’ll love these cute mason jar party favors, and they’ll make a fun rustic addition to your backyard BBQ.

Let’s start by printing the tags, and then talk about additional items you can add to your jars for your guests. The tags are free to print, so feel free to invite as many or as few guests as you would like. I have a tag for favors given when your guests arrive or a thank you as they leave. Either way, they are sure to love these cute BBQ party favors!

How To Assemble Summer Party Favors
I handed out my party favors at the beginning of the BBQ, filling them with items to keep the kids engaged during the event. If you plan to give favors to guests at the end of the party for them to take home, you should use a different printable tag. In that case, you may also want to change the contents of the jar.
I added a battery-operated fan, sidewalk chalk, bubbles, and glow sticks to my quart-sized mason jars. To add a splash of color, I placed a checked napkin inside each jar. After filling the jars with the gifts, I attached printable tags using some ribbon.
I lined a pail with a red checked tablecloth and piled my mason jar BBQ party favors inside for my guests to grab when they arrived at my party. Just a little gift to keep the kids occupied and give the adults a chance to have some fun!
You can definitely print these tags on regular copy paper, but I like to print on white cardstock to make them a little more durable. You will also need some scissors and a hole punch to complete your project. Print as many of these cute tags as you want to entertain a yard full of guests this summer.
If you are hosting a BBQ, these summer party favors are a great addition. Use them for the little ones who come to keep them busy. Or fill with more adult goodies and give them to your party guests. Either way, you are sure to love these cute jars and how great they look at your party!

These are all so absolutely fantastic, will be fun to put together. I need to get me some of the commemorative jars to use. Too bad they come with the zinc lids tho, dadgumit. Thanks so much for sharing all these wonderful printables.
I am having such a good time thinking of all the fun somebody would have giving these all out at a BBQ party. Think I’ll make some up to see if some folks might want to buy them for a party. We’re about to put our stuff in a great craft boutique to sell so this might be a great item to start with. Will advertise them on Craigs list for our area also. Need to get a camera tho so I can enclose pics with in my ads. That’s one big thing that’s been stopping us from selling our goods. We’ve been working on building up some inventory. Have so many ideas for things to make I can hardly sleep at night. Thanks again.
Think I’ll be using the clear mason jars, others too expensive to use, unless people want to provide their own blue jars. Any thoughts on that? I’m sure open for advice. Please reply to: FurryKidzPaperworx@gmail.com
