Game Cards as Birthday Favors?

I'm having my daughter's 5th birthday party at Main Event. As part of the party package, I am buying $10 game cards for the kids to use after bowling & pizza & cake. Is that considered part of the party or should I still do goody bags? I don't want to come off as cheap, but I'm already spending quite a bit on the party.
Thanks for your help!

What can I do next?

We did $5 game cards at Strikz, and then we made t-shirts for the kids for their favor too- we bought green t-shirts at Hobby Lobby (2.99 each but used some 40% off coupons for some, so even cheaper) and then bought that t-shirt iron on stuff at Staples- the iron on was a 4x6 white rectangle that had a bowling pin/ball on it and said "Sam's Birthday Bowling Bash!" and the date under neath... the kids put them on when they arrived, they were SO excited. And my son that doesn't get excited about clothes LOVED the t-shirts. It was a fun thing for the kids to wear and to keep. I know those parties can be so expensive and I think that $10 cards are very generous.

Main Event is expensive! I think that would be fine as party favors. If you still feel the need to do something extra you could go to the Dollor General. I saw bubble's and the bottle's were ice cream cones. Or you could get regular bubbles and take off the wrapper and print one off of your computer to replace.

I did that party last February and I should have done what you're proposing. I gave the cards + goodie bags but I think it was too much after all. I didn't think about giving the card as the goodie. It's a good idea.

I would think that is good enough, and more than generous. Besides, I have enough goody bag stuff kicking around my house to last us a lifetime! I bet most moms feel the same!
