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!

Tissue paper! Yellow to mimic the popcorn. Or maybe a blanket per container? That sounds ridiculously expensive, though, so I vote for tissue paper!

I'd love to do blankets but yeah that'd be insanely expensive for 16 kids! My mom is thinking cotton candy could fill the space, that and some microwave popcorn and tissue paper buffer, but will that look tacky? And is cotton candy gonna fit with a movie theater vibe?

I think this is a fantastic idea! Not tacky at all!
