Favorite Things Party

DH is OOT this weekend and I am thinking of getting some gals together for a Favorite Things Party. You bring 5 of one of your favorite items, no more than $5 each, and share with the girls.You put your name in a  bag 5 times and draw names.

Do you think it's too late notice to try to get anyone together for this? Is this even something you would want to do, since buying 5 of your favorite things might get pricey?

Re: Favorite Things Party

  • It sounds totally fun, but I am not sure about it being so last minute since they would have to go shopping for 5 things.  What about just making it one favorite thing with a higher budget?

  • i like the idea. i think two weeks notice would be best but if i was one of your good friends i'd probably go assuming i had no plans made.

     are you providing food and wine? LOL

    i think it's difficult to find items i love under 5 bucks though. im no help!

  • Yeah, I guess giving more notice would be helpful since they'll have to figure out what to bring.

    Annie- I always feed my guests. lol and of course alcohol would be available.

    You can get lots of things under 5-6 bucks, but I see where most people would have a hard time thinking of that. It took me a little while too.  You could get Lip gloss (elf $1 each), lip balm (gap $3 each), nail polish , lotion,  Luna Bars (my  ultimate favorite $1 and change) and so on.

    I might have to set this up for next weekend. Feel free to pm me your email if interested!

  • oh that sounds so fun!!!

  • Jmo- i'd still try to do this weekend ! didn't mean to be a party pooper. i don't have plans this weekend so maybe your girlfriends don't either!

    about your ideas-oh yeah ! i'd probably bring sticky notes. I use them for everything.  i also like dr. pepper lipsmacker.

    hope it works out, sounds like a good time!

    when i think about it like this, in a somewhat silly way on top of my real favorite things, i think I could do it in a pinch too.  if your friends like to shop and you think they'd be into it,  just go for it!  maybe do 3 items not 5 since its last minute.

  • This would be a great idea for Christmas party too.  Instead of an ornament exchange, when someone's ornament might not match your tree, this would be way more fun.

  • I love your idea! I love it so much I think I will use it for one of my own parties.

  • I'm hosting this next Wed. Really looking forward to what everyone will bring!
  • Funny, my friend and I are planning one of these parties for September!

    I don't think it's too late notice.  The things are only $5, it's not like it takes super special planning to pick something up.

  • I love this idea!  I think I may have to plan one for a girls night in this fall.
