Lol I was really glad to see that poll result!! Favors were not even a thought in my mind for my LO's bday! I agree people probably don't care. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-offended-if/page/2#post-1547867 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 09:50:36 +0000 autumn865 1547867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't have favors for the adults but I did make little goodie bags for her friends that came. Some baby/ kid snacks and little target dollar section toys/ coloring books etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-offended-if/page/2#post-1547556 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 00:51:23 +0000 PinkElephant 1547556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope - not necessary at all. If you still feel strange not sending kids home with something, one nice thing I've seen done is that if there were a fair number of helium balloons used as decoration, each (child) guest takes home a few when they leave. Kids all seem to love balloons, it's no extra cost to the host (actually helps with cleanup), and it's deflated in a few days so won't be cluttering up the guests' house for long. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-offended-if/page/2#post-1547555 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 00:48:59 +0000 mrschickpea 1547555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-offended-if#post-1547277 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 19:33:30 +0000 MrsH 1547277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not necessary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-offended-if#post-1547272 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 19:30:50 +0000 Andrea 1547272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it is necessary for a 1st bday unless you have a lot of older kids coming. Then they do enjoy getting them. I didn't do favors for DD1's party, but I did for DD2. I just felt like doing them the 2nd time around since it was a smaller party with older kids that would care. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-offended-if#post-1547267 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 19:27:16 +0000 NavyRN2012 1547267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um, not even a little! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-be-offended-if#post-1547159 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 18:05:59 +0000 wonderstruck 1547159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, and wow, I've never seen a HB poll that is so unanimous!

I am so glad you made this thread. I am, now, not doing favours either! WOOOOO. Such a pain in the ass.

"Let them eat cake!" :wink: My favorite part about a birthday party is seeing the birthday girl or boy blow out the candles, that is so special!

We have gotten a few favors lately and no offense to the givers but we ended up throwing them away because they were cheap plastic things that just drove me nuts. </p>
