I love her but she will give you her honest opinion whether you want it or not! <br /><br />The only favor I can think of is if she has a favorite flower, make a large arrangement and give them to guests as a favor. I think for Hubby's grandmother, they made hand fans out of scrapbook paper and old photos copied onto paper and some cute saying printed on it. I can't remember for sure. I'm not much help. Sorry! <br /><br />Good luck girl! I can't wait to hear details about the aunt and her husband! I laughed out loud about that!

She definitely had her ideas about the way things should be.<br /><br />We didn't do party favors. I did have guests send me memories about my grandmother beforehand. I typed them up, cut them out like fortunes in fortune cookies, and put them in a beautiful jar. At the party, we passed the jar around and took turns taking memories out and reading them. My grandmother loved that, and we had a lot of laughs (and some tears). It gave her a nice keepsake from the day, too.<br /><br />I like Kelli's idea of a retro party! Could be fun, and would make her happy. Can't wait to hear how it all goes. Good luck!! :)Julia @ Hooked on Houseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04937060849774403002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-8060211862826192502010-05-11T12:14:29.554-04:002010-05-11T12:14:29.554-04:00Definitely Back to the Future!!

Very 1950s. And you're right about the RSVPing...my grandmother mailed a handwritten RSVP for my wedding "Dear Holly, I would be pleased to attend..." How I wish I had kept that.

(If you don't have any of your Nannie, you could use stock photos from the same timeframe.)<br /><br />I also like Leslie's idea of pink M&M's. (I was going to suggest pink Jordan almonds. But it's probably too much trouble to get everyone to sign a waiver to protect you in case they break their teeth.) I think you can even order customized M&M's online, but I think they're on the pricey side and I don't know how long the delivery takes.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04423802244845816945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-3542432784474493382010-05-11T09:12:15.799-04:002010-05-11T09:12:15.799-04:00I like the idea of the boxes you have above.

You could also look up the birthday in 1910 trivia. That would be fun.<br /><br />LorrieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-66638112444734153792010-05-11T08:46:15.880-04:002010-05-11T08:46:15.880-04:00The DeLorean is the car in Back to the Future.

You would not even believe how much cars are a part of our world.<br /><br />That photo of you and your Nannie is priceless. PRICE.LESS. Just beautiful of you, and very cute of Nannie.<br /><br />As far as the favors go, I think you're on the right track. If your Nannie likes mints, then chances are her friends do, too. And the pink will make her happy.<br /><br />Maybe Natalie and Michaela could practice singing "Jesus Loves Me" this week and put on a little show for the guests. Then, even if they terrorize the party, the guests will know that they're being brought up properly and that there's no need to dispense advice to their mama. <br /><br />Enjoy!Richella Parhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04353214472648623583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-57124849606845887252010-05-11T08:21:09.967-04:002010-05-11T08:21:09.967-04:00I didn't click on the link - isn't a Delor...I didn't click on the link - isn't a Delorean the car from Back to the Future?<br /><br />I don't have any good favor ideas for you unfortunately.
