[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never heard of goody bags before moving to the U.S. and for the life of me, I don't understand the logic in this tradition.  You get invited to the party, get free food and drinks, games, time with friends, a chance to have some fun, AND you need a present for coming? I don't get it.  Kids are not Oscar winners, they don't need to leave with goody bags.  I've never received anything in a goody bag worth keeping, and we've never done goody bags for the few parties we've thrown because I refuse to feed this ridiculous habit.   A party is gift enough for the invitees. [/quote]

They're not new, and weren't invited in DC.  [b]We had them when I was growing up.  They're a customary part of birthday parties.[/b]

Are you saying that goody bags are the only difference in culture between the US and the country you came from? [/quote]

We didn't have them when I was growing up (in the US).  They are not customary everywhere.  And it's not rude not to have them.  [/quote]

Does it sound more respectable to call them party favors?  You had never encountered party favors or goodie bags until moving to DC?[/quote]
