my favorite things


Last night I threw my first annual Favorite Things Party (an idea that I got off of Pinterest) and I must say that I think it was a success! We ate, laughed, talked and played. It was quite the party!

The idea of the party is that each person needs to bring 3 of their favorite thing (three of one item or three different, not exceeding $5.00 each). This can by anything you like from lip gloss, gift wrap, craft supplies, kitchen gadgets, candy, gift cards, games etc. When each guest arrives, they write their name on three pieces of paper for the name jar and puts their favorite items into a bag. Each person introduces their items and draws three names to take your favorite thing home with them. You come with three of your favorite thing and leave with three new favorite things!

It was really fun to see all the fun things that everyone loves and we all got to go home with some new favorites! We shared lipgloss, nail polish, mod podge, popcorn, gift cards, candy, hair accessories and so much more. It was a great way to spend the evening! I can't wait for next year!

  1. That sounds like a LOT of fun! I'll have to do that with some of my girlfriends sometime...great idea. I'm stopping by from Running With Glitter's party. I think we'd get along quite well; I know the words to Joseph and Les Mis too, and I am a HUGE Jane Austen fan. I was an English major in college and did my senior seminar paper on Pride & Prejudice. :)
