How To Host A Favorite Things Party

HOW TO HOST A FAVORITE THINGS PARTY

I love the idea of a "Favorite Things Party" and the holiday season is the perfect time of year for this! The Favorite Things Party idea originates from the Oprah show. She began a tradition on her show called "Favorite Things" and would give away her favorite things to the entire audience. Everyone loved it so much that they were inspired to host their own favorite things parties! Here are some tips how to host your own:

INVITATION

It's recommended that you invite 10-15 people to keep an intimate & fun atmosphere!
Explain on the invitation the budget + idea of the party
Set a dress code - some fun ideas are an ugly sweater or PJ party!
Another fun idea is to ask your guests to bring their favorite appetizer or dessert to make it extra festive!

HOW TO

Once you set the budget explain to the guests that they are bringing their favorite thing within that limit (it can be anything from lip gloss, favorite book, bath bomb, etc)
Have them bring 2-3 of the same item wrapped and all in one bag
When everyone arrives, have them write their name on 3 slips of paper and place it in a bowl and then have each person draw a number.
Start with number one and when each number is drawn, the guest with that numbers should explain why the item is their favorite.
Then they will draw 3 names out of the bowl and give them those 3 people their favorite thing.
Unlike a White Elephant party, there is no stealing or freezing but there is usually some swapping going on at the end of the night for extra fun!
