Favor-bag labeling rules

• One tag per bag, name side out — guests shouldn’t open bags to find theirs
• If favors differ (kids vs adults, allergy variants), color-code the ribbon and post the key once
• Food favors always get ingredients on the back of the tag, handwritten is fine

Food-table tent cards

Fold cardstock into tents: dish name front, allergens underneath. Five tents cover most parties: main, two sides, dessert, drinks. This single habit prevents the most common party food incident — the unasked allergy question.

Pair with wording from birthday invitation wording for a matched stationery set, and track favor costs in the party budget calculator.

How this printable was put together

All tag texts written fresh for this page; food-labeling guidance follows standard allergen-awareness practice (name the dish, name the allergens, place the card). Not produced for a specific event for this article.
