More Bday Planning: Goodie Bags?

I'm on a local listerve and the topic of goodie bags came up. Several people say that a goodie bag or take-home present is expected. Is this true? I can never recall receiving a party favor for attending a birthday party while growing up. But now that I think about it, LO did receive a take home present for the two parties that he has attended thus far. For our LO's bday, we were actually requesting for guests not to bring gifts...and I wasn't even thinking about having a goodie bag until reading this. 

What is the norm for your circle?

    It depends on the party. For huge parties with tons of kids, there's always goodie bags. Smaller parties, like at someone's house with family and maybe a few friends, no goodie bags.

    Goody bags were always the norm at parties when I was growing up. Regardless of the type of party you can do small treat bags or favors. I think it would be easy to do for all ages.

    We have when DD's parties included kids (her third and fourth), but didn't for the first 2, since they just involved adult family.  The first year I went overboard with stuff (stickers, gummy snacks, trinkety toy, and bubbles).  Last year we just gave out a Crayola Watercolor paint set with a personalized label.  It was infinitely easier, and the kids seemed to like it.

    I really don't think it is a MUST, but it is nice that kids get to take something home.

    I might make like 5 since there will maybe be 3 or 4 other kids there.  If they don't show and my niece and nephew are the only ones there, than they can divy it up.

    The theme of LO's party is you are my sunshine so I'm going to make little sunshine clips for the girls and order yellow aviator sunglasses for the boys.
