Getting Money At Anniversary Party For A Vacation

RE: Getting Money At Anniversary Party For A Vacation Post By JC (Guest Post) (06/23/2008) I would NOT sell tickets. If my children did that to my friends and family I would not like it one bit and would be terribly unhappy when those invited would have to buy a ticket to attend. The "in lieu of gifts" or the Money tree would be the way I'd want my children to go.

My niece planned the party and wrote on the invitations, "in lieu of gifts, we are collecting money to send my parents on a vacation". She also sent the travel agents info so we were able to phone in our donation. (The travel agent then sent a receipt in the mail to us and a notice to my sister of the donation to their travel fund). It all turned out great, hope your party does too!

We would get a large manzanita branch, place on a post so it sits on a table, then get some ribbon and when you get cash, roll it up or better yet, fold it like an accordian back and forth and tie it onto the branches and it ends up looking like a tree with the money looking like leaves. It's cool. Good luck! Report Spam or Abuse
