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
So Tasty, So Yummy
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!
this!
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!
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.
I love your idea! I love it so much I think I will use it for one of my own parties.

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 it! Makes me think of Oprah. I hope i can make it to your party. i get off work around 730ish, you know us nurses have crazy hours!
