Mod from hell
Not you Loopy! 
Anyway so I was perusing the (totally lame but you know you read it) call out site and saw a call out to the mod of the Favors board. This got my attention because, seriously, what kind of shenanigans can go down on the Favors board?
Apparently, someone is gettiing a little power hungry over there. Check it out, only if you're bored (which you probably are if you are reading NEY at 7pm
). Start the stickies!

[QUOTE]thanks for sharing... I don't even have workds for how I feel about that sticky
Posted by babybchbum[/QUOTE]
You're welcome. And there's more. Check out a few of the recent posts where she's weighed in. Every other post is "your idea sucks, see the sticky!"
My Blog
She is messed up. Her standard advice (as well as the advice in her special stickies) is to give something edible as a favor. One poster said they were giving jars of green tea and her response was that it was a bad idea because "Not everyone likes green tea". What??? Name one edible favor that EVERYONE likes. What is this ONE universally appealing edible favor that everyone MUST present to their guests?
And why doesn't it have it's own sticky?

I remember this poster being on NEY months and months ago. She was a tool then as well.
Seriously get over yourself CAnumbers.
OP, I think it's a cool idea."
[QUOTE]HAHA Did you really report her? Because that would be awesome. I remember this poster being on NEY months and months ago. She was a tool then as well.

I did in fact. Doubt it will do much as I don't have the best rep amongst the mods myself but saying "don't be rude to the mod" like she had some real power after she just blasted someone's water bottles they were excited about crossed the line.
My Blog
I can see if someone asked "should I do wine bottle stoppers or chocolate covered strawberries?" that people should weigh in on their preferences but when someone says "where can I find flip flops?" there's no need to get all crazy.

[QUOTE]The odds of pleasing everyone with favors are petty slim. They're not important. I would only suggest that people spend very little on them. This way, if people don't take them home, not much has been lost.
Posted by Goldlie11[/QUOTE]
I agree.
I just don't understand why people freak about them so much. It's a gift. I would never judge someone based on their favor or lack thereof. If I don't like it, BFD. I would imagine most people feel that way.
The only things I don't like (besides donations) are anything monogrammed or labeled. I don't want a picture frame with my name printed on it, why would my guests?

[QUOTE]Zomgosh, that's just absurd. I don't think she could have fit "I" many more times in that post. ETA: I like the person who went through and highlighted all the I's. Missed that before I posted.

My cousin and his wife did bars of soap from Syracuse Soapworks, a local all-natural soap company. It was a really cook idea! I loved it because they supported a local business and because it is something that is consumable. Even if you put it out when you're having guests over, it's something that can be used.
I'm doing personalized miniature candy bars. This falls under her approved list of favors but I know already that my cousin and aunt will not be able to eat them because they are allergic to chocolate (it's for them that we got two flavors of cake). Edible favors are not foolproof.
[QUOTE]OMG she closed the thread where they called her out!

That board is crazy. Thank goodness we always have sane Mods over here.
She also deleted her flip-flop sticky.
Even though I'm doing edible favors, I'm sure she wouldn't like mine cause they're probably going to be too small: a mini muffin cup filled with m&m's (my favorite candy) and a mini reeces peanut butter cup (FI's favorite candy) and a card with a starlight mint tied onto it (their after-dinner mint) that will say something totally corny like "thanks for sharing our special day - it mint so much".
