After everyone arrived, we began the first round of Favorite Things. To alleviate a mad rush to the table all at once, each guest was given 12 tickets to redeem throughout the night. We broke it up into three rounds, redeeming 4 tickets each time. So you'd take something from the table and then leave a ticket. Let me just say, compared to the last party of all girls, this was a little more intense. The guys hovered and were a little more aggressive about grabbing the things they wanted!
I had ordered THE most adorable Santa bags for each couple to take their goodies home in but unfortunately they didn't make it in time for the party. Thank you Black Friday shoppers! Sometimes it's a bonus I am a hoarder because I had bought these fun "TOTES" bags about a couple months ago for (maybe) my daughter's birthday goodie bags. They worked perfect for our guests to fill up. I'll be mailing each guest their Santa bag once they arrive, so they'll have it for Christmas morning!
