Looking for summer party favors? I have a great idea for some mason jar BBQ party favors for you today. Let’s make some super-simple favors in a mason jar. I even have some free printable tags to add to the outside just for you. I know you will love these cute mason jar party favors, and they will make an amazing addition to your backyard BBQ.
Summer Party Favors
Let’s start by printing the tags, then talk about things 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 both favors you give out when your guests get there, or tags you give out as they leave. Either way, they are sure to love these cute BBQ party favors!

How To Assemble Summer Party Favors
In my case, I gave out my favors at the beginning of the party and filled them full of things to keep the kids occupied during the BBQ. If your favors are meant to be given at the end for your guests to take home, you would use the other printable tag. You may also, in that case, change up the contents of your jar.
I added a battery-operated fan, sidewalk chalk, bubbles, and glow sticks to my quart-sized mason jars. I put in a checked napkin to give the jar a little color. Add all of your gifts to the jar, then tie on the printable tags with 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 make sure the kids are occupied and the adults get 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
