What different types of party favors have you recieved at parties, and weddings? Which one was your most favorite, and least favorite?

At my niece's wedding we made chocolate molded lollipops. It was a western theme and we did hats and boots.

For my wedding...almost 17 yrs ago....we had potpourri sachets. I still have a few and they still smell good

I've actually received Save the date "favors". My DH's family is quite wealthy and when they send out the save the date cards we get custom tins with mints, magnets, tin match cases, all kinds of stuff! I'm sure the favors for these weddings have all been amazing too, but we don't attend. Too much pressure on what to give as a gift Besides they are usually in North Jersey (at least 2hours away) and our kids are never invited.

We attended a wedding of a dear friend of ours and they had the reception at a local winery, they had small bottles of wine with their names and wedding date printed on the label and gave as favors. When I spoke to them a couple of months later she told me that they didn't even get one, I felt bad because she really wanted one, some of her guest were taking two or three bottles.

When my boys were younger and still had parties, I would put together favors for their b-days such as school supplies (I put all kinds of supplies in a pencil box), plus a beach favor (I purchased beach items and placed them in a sand bucket). We had summer b-days, I really miss those days when I planned parties for them.

Ok, guys, I'm off to New York early tomorrow morning. I got so nervous I had to start taking my Xanax today. We're visiting the Good Morning America studios Friday morning so if you watch GMA, look for us. The kids are all wearing black long sleeved t-shirts with a red hawk descending upon New York. They are the Mighty Hawk Band from Heath, TX.

Have a safe trip, and try not to be nervous.

As for the QOTD-I thought that for most parties, people gave out favors. I know that for birthday parties that we attend here, we don't always get favors, and something the kids only recieve candies that they get from the pinata, while other times, they may also recieve goodie bags. I guess I learned something new.

If you were to teach a subject at a high school, what would it be?

 

[schnerk]

If you were to teach a subject at a high school, what would it be?

Honors History. Or Home Ec for men...

 

[mickeyfan2]

Math - algebra or calculus

 

[pennst8r]

Honors History. Or Home Ec for men...

You're brave!

DS12 is taking what we used to call Home Ec, it's now Family Consumer Sciences at our school. (??) He is NOT looking forward to sewing, but loves cooking. He's even cooking at home now.


My dad and stepmom both taught high school in Pittsburgh. After listening to their stories most of my life, I would never want to teach those grades. Maybe elementary school....then Science.

If you were to teach a subject at a high school, what would it be?

If you were to be any type of doctor, what would you specialize in, and why?

 

[kimbac3]

If you were to teach a subject at a high school, what would it be?

I guess that because I homeschool my kids, and my oldest is in 10th grade that I teach all subjects! I enjoy History the best though.

If you were to be any type of doctor, what would you specialize in, and why?

I'd be an ER doctor. I work well under pressure.

A vetrinarian
And not just because my kids are monkeys.

If you were to be a voice of a cartoon character, which character would you pick?

 

[Luv2Roam]

Gawrsh... I think I would be Goofy.

 

[kimbac3]

If you were to be a voice of a cartoon character, which character would you pick?

My kids and DH said I should do Mulan.

Now why they think a little blonde Scotch/Irish woman would be a good Chinese girl

Guess they based it on attitude

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I have lots of catching up to do.

If you were to be any type of doctor, what would you specialize in, and why?

I too would prefer to work with animals than people. People complain too much, animals just bite.

If you had to eat out everyday for dinner by yourself, which restaurant would you choose, and what would be your top three things that you would choose to eat?

I could eat every day at Chipolte. I would have the vegetarian fajhita burrito, chips & salsa and a large ice tea. EVERYDAY.

If you were to be a voice of a cartoon character, which character would you pick?

I could do Dory from Finding Nemo.
