How to Throw A Favorite Things Party
Have you heard of a “Favorite Things” Party? Â I hadn’t, and when Stephanie of Celebrations & Sweet Creations sent us her Favorite Things party and the background behind it, I got so excited to share it with you all as well! Â The premise behind the party is for each guest to bring 5 of their favorite can’t live without items to share with the other guests. Â For Stephanie’s party, all items had to be under $6, and they ranged from Lip Gloss, Kitchen Utensils, to a gift card to your favorite ice cream spot.
How the Party Works: When the guests arrive at the party, each guest will write their name on 5 slips of paper, and put in a fishbowl. Â Then each guest will pick 5 slips of paper out of the bowl (being careful to not pick themselves!) to hold on to for when they introduce their favorite things. Â One by one they will show the group their favorite item, and then one of the names they pulled will get to take that item home!
It definitely is a fun twist on a Girl’s Night Out, complete with sweets to eat and wine of course!
