Hi,

Im from London and coming to NY for new year. Everywhere seems to say party favors but what are they???

Hi Leeann....

I'm from Kent, and I always thought that 'Party Favours' were the little gifts or keepsakes that were given to guests at functions...like weddings/parties etc.

Usually little boxes of sweets, trinkets or momentoes of the occasion.

Unless it has a different meaning in the US.

This is one of the few things that means the same in the UK and US. At a New Year's party, it's usually eyeglasses shaped like the year (i.e. like "2007" where your eyes go into the holes), funny hats, little trumpets, drink glasses, etc.
