> For 50 children, order 60 packs: one per child plus the 10 spare packs we suggest for siblings and late additions. At ₹150 a pack that is ₹9,000 plus ₹150 delivery. Spend ₹170 a pack instead and the order passes ₹10,000, where delivery is free. Hand the packs out at the exit, tower by tower.

## Key takeaways

- Order 10 packs more than the children you count: 60 packs for 50 children.
- Delivery is free from ₹10,000: 60 packs at ₹170 or 67 packs at ₹150 both get there.
- For different packs by age group in one order, order through our team on WhatsApp; Build Your Pack makes one pack design per order.
- Use a different bag design for each age group, so helpers can see at a glance which pack goes to which child.

Return gifts for 50 kids need a little more planning than a party at home: more families, a wider spread of ages and a crowded exit at the end. This guide is for a party in a gated community clubhouse or party hall, where children from across the community may turn up. It covers how many packs to order, how to get free delivery, how to split packs by age and how to get each pack to the right child. To build a pack as you read, open [Build Your Pack](/buildyourpack).

## How many return gifts for 50 kids?

Order 60: one for each child plus 10 spare. The rule we give parents at Celebration Gifting is 10 packs more than the children you count, and a community party is where those spares matter most, because neighbours' children are only a few floors away.

Count by family and by tower rather than by reply. If the invitation goes to a society or tower WhatsApp group instead of to named families, count every family on that group that has children, not only the ones who replied. Our minimum order is 5 packs and there is no maximum. Our guide on [how many return gifts to order](/blog/how-many-return-gifts-to-order) explains the counting in more detail.

## How do you get free delivery on a big order?

Pass ₹10,000. Delivery is charged once per order, and as of October 2026 it is ₹250 under ₹5,000, ₹150 from ₹5,000 to ₹9,999, and free from ₹10,000.

| Children | Packs (with 10 spare) | Packs at ₹150 | Delivery | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50 | 60 | ₹9,000 | ₹150 | ₹9,150 |
| 57 | 67 | ₹10,050 | Free | ₹10,050 |
| 70 | 80 | ₹12,000 | Free | ₹12,000 |
| 100 | 110 | ₹16,500 | Free | ₹16,500 |

At 60 packs, spending ₹170 instead of ₹150 per pack brings the order to ₹10,200 with free delivery. That is ₹1,050 more than the ₹150 version, for packs worth ₹20 more each, which is enough for one more small item, such as a fancy eraser or a sharpener.

## Should every child get the same pack?

Not at a big community party. With 50 children, you may have toddlers and twelve year olds at the same party, and one pack rarely suits both. Build Your Pack makes one pack design per order, so for different packs by age group in a single order, order through our team on WhatsApp with a split such as "20 packs for under 5, 40 packs for 6 to 12". You can also place a separate website order for each group, but each carries its own delivery charge. A magic water book suits the younger group, and a stationery set with a small game suits the older one. Many items also come in assorted colours and designs; if you need a set number of packs for boys and girls, mention that too.

Two age groups keep it simple; more than that makes handing out the packs harder.

## How do you hand packs to the right kids?

Make the groups easy to tell apart, and hand packs out at the exit.

- **One bag design per age group.** For example, Cocomelon bags for the under-5s and carnival bags for the older children; ask for this when you order on WhatsApp. A helper can see which pack goes to which child without opening it. Our [theme bag guide](/blog/theme-party-return-gifts) shows all nine designs.
- **One helper at the exit.** Packs go out as children leave, not when they arrive, so late arrivals still get one and you can see how many are left.
- **A list by tower and flat.** Tick off each family as it leaves. At a big party it is easy to miss a family who left early.
- **The 10 spare packs in a separate box.** You know at a glance how much of the buffer you have used.

A gated community has one advantage over a party hall: a child who missed the party lives a short walk away. Drop their pack at the door the next day.

## What should the thank-you card say?

Your child's name and your flat number, so every family knows whose party it was. Every pack includes a printed thank-you card, and our team confirms its message with you on WhatsApp after you order. Keep it to 160 characters, such as "Thank you for coming to my 7th birthday! Love, Aarav, B-504".

## Where and when should the packs be delivered?

To your flat, a few days before the party. Couriers deliver within a window of days rather than at a set hour, so don't plan on a delivery to the clubhouse on the morning of the party. We dispatch within 2 to 3 business days, then delivery takes 1 to 2 days within Hyderabad and 3 to 5 days to other cities. Order two weeks ahead, and no later than 8 days before the party in Hyderabad or 11 days before elsewhere. For a very large order, message us on WhatsApp before you order to confirm the dispatch date. Our [3-week countdown](/blog/when-to-order-return-gifts) has the details.

Tell your security desk to expect a large delivery, so it is not turned away or left at the gate.

## Which combos work for a big party?

Combos close to ₹150 keep a big order affordable. Both of these stay under ₹200 a pack, and at 60 packs the Mini Smiles Pack takes the order past ₹10,000 for free delivery:

**Return gift combo:** [Play Mania Hamper](https://www.celebrationgifting.in/combos/play-mania), ₹155 per pack

**Return gift combo:** [Mini Smiles Pack](https://www.celebrationgifting.in/combos/mini-smiles), ₹175 per pack

The Play Mania Hamper has a spring toy, a small card clay set and a Rubik's keychain; the Mini Smiles Pack pairs a glass water bottle with a noughts and crosses game. Both come in a Happy Birthday bag, which you can swap for a theme bag per age group.

60. That is one for each of the 50 children plus 10 spare for siblings, visiting cousins and children who hear about the party on the day.

### Can one order have different packs for toddlers and older children?
