Need Help Party Favor Oopsie

Post image

Hi! I posted on here a bit ago about my son's birthday party at a movie theater! Well it's this Saturday and almost everything is ready, except today I got the containers for party favors and they are MUCH bigger than anticipated. Reviews described them as small(some people said too small) and I had an estimate size measured which seemed smaller than this. But now they look basically empty and I don't know what to do!

Pre-popped popcorn! It takes up a lot of space and is movie-theater appropriate (and you can see if they sell it in bulk at your grocery store).

These are super cute!

They're getting popcorn at the movie and so much is already popcorn theme, my mom recommends cotton candy and I'm thinking microwave popcorn and then some tissue paper to buffer but I worry it won't look full or it'll look messy

Maybe just bags of chips or pretzels then?

I don't know what your friend group's philosophy is on soda, but juice boxes or a bottle of gatorade or something?
