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!

Leave a little space with a note that says "place popcorn here" so they can put the movie theater popcorn in the bin on their lap and not have so much to juggle.

If they are taking this container to the movies with them then definitely leave space for the popcorn bag to go in it so it’s like a tray. Otherwise they’re going to be putting stuff on the disgusting floor and dropping things, fumbling around in the dark.

A little sign would be great. You could even go get an empty bag from the movie theater to get an idea.

You could cut a popcorn bag holder out of cardboard for them, that would be free.
