How To Host An Unforgettable Favorite Things Party

“Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens, brown paper packages tied up with strings, these are a few of my favorite things…” Even if your favorite things aren’t exactly the ones in this famous song, you can still use the sentiment as the theme idea for your next get-together and host a favorite things party! But what is a ‘favorite things’ party? If that’s what you’re wondering, you’ve come to the right place! We’re here to get you up to speed on this awesome party idea that’s been trending worldwide. 

A favorite things party is a get-together with friends or family, during which the attendees bring their most-loved items and exchange them as gifts with the other party-goers. It’s a little bit like a white elephant party, but with gifts that you absolutely love and want others to try for themselves! It can be held year round, and works great for the holidays or other events like Galentine’s Day. People are falling head-over-heels for this fun idea, and why wouldn’t they? The guests and host get to select their fav items to give to others, and then also get to go home with new things that might become their next go-tos. It’s the definition of a win-win! 

If this sounds good to you, keep on reading. In today’s post, we’ll give you our top tips for hosting your own Zamazing favorite things party, complete with recommendations for the extra details and thoughtful add-ons that’ll take the event to the next level.

Gifting Rules

The first step to pulling off a memorable favorite things party is to set down some ground rules that’ll ensure you and your guests are all on the same page. The beauty of this style of party is that you can make it entirely your own! First, decide on if everybody should bring just one favorite item, or pick out multiple. Will you request that guests bring 3 different gifts, or bring 3 of the same gift? Do you want a budget affair? Then set the price limit to 20$. Or, if you want to go for a boujee vibe, and you know your guests will all be comfortable with this, set a higher price limit. Make sure to include all of this information on your invitation, of course! 

Theme Ideas

There are endless theme ideas that work amazingly for a favorite things party. For example: your favorite baked goods, your favorite self-care products, your favorite drink, your favorite bouquet of flowers or plant, your favorite color, or your favorite game. You could pick one theme, or combine two or more theme ideas. Alternatively, you can keep your favorite things party open-ended and have no theme – it’s totally up to you!
