Favorite Things Party
Have you ever been to a Favorite Things Party? I was first invited to one, hosted by our church’s Women’s Ministry, well since my love language just happens to be gifts — I knew that I had to create my own Favorite Things Party!
You know, “…these are a few of my favorite things” and all that, and I suppose some would say it’s from Oprah’s Favorite Things shows, I honestly don’t care where the idea came from — it’s BRILLIANT!
I have been friends with most of these women for 20 years! Many of us were in MOPS together when our babies were, well babies!
I host mine during the holidays and another friend hosts a Summer Favorite Things Party. The post below will tell you how to host, tips and tricks and more and some day — I will get around to creating printables for hosting your own Favorite Things Party, in the meantime, I know you can make one happen! Shoot me an email if you have questions!
I would love to hear if you have hosted a Favorite Things Party, what you did differently, and your tips!
