Not for a wedding... but for a party...like a birthday, anniversary, etc....

The age group would probably be...20 y/o - 40 y/o, majority being 25-35 y/o

Personally, I'm not a fan for an event that I would have, but I'll never pass one up when given out....

Doesn't matter to me!!

At my SIL's baby shower they played Baby Bingo and gave away stuff from Victoria's Secret since her mom worked there!

I wasn't complaining when I won!

I hate them, but that's just me. For a kid's party, sure, not for adults.

Im confused... are we talkign about games and prizes being given out or the stuff the DJ gives.

DJ: love for all parties, I am junkie when it comes to getting useless things for free. Hence why I love my LIW shirt, Love my free pen I got at Leonards.. the list goes on and on.
Games & Prizes: I think they are fun also for Baby Showers, Kids parties and Bridal showers.

I like the giveaways, it adds to the good time while dancing. They're fun, like wearing a hat, sunglassses, or leai, even on the ride home. It's something I would probably throw out afterwards tho.

we're not having giveaways.... imo it's more for bar/bat mitzvahs and sweet 16s

on a side note, you cannot be taxed on the dj/band, etc but u will be taxed on the giveaways...

I think they can be fun for any party as long as its somewhat of good quality.I actually had them at my wedding, plastic hats, maracas, and sun glasses. Everyone had a blast with them, but it was inclueded in my package and was not an outrageous price or i wouldnt have gotten it.

Giveaways are great if there are going to be lots of kids at the event (Sweet Sixteen, Bar/Bat Mitzvah, etc.). If it's primarily adults, though, I'd say 'no' to giveaways. Just my opinion, though!

No party giveaways here... they are NOT very wedding like.....

The ONLY thing I will be giving away are the cps.....

I'm quoting you to emphasize that you're not talking about a wedding.

For a party like a birthday or anniversary, I think that a giveaway would go over well with a younger crowd. As in younger birthday, sweet 16, etc. With older people, I think that it depends on what you're giving away and how it's done.

I agree, if I am sober, then I think they are silly, if I am drunk then I think giveaways are the best things ever.

I think it depends on the group of people at the party.

We think giveaways are tacky and take away from the wedding. Weddings should be classy not corny.

Okay-first, you haven't read the initial post. She specifically said NOT A WEDDING!!!

Second-you've just insulted a lot if girls who said they like them by calling it tacky.

As I said previously, I am not having give aways at my wedding but I think they can be fun at non wedding functions with a young crowd. This is my opinion and I don't think less of those who choose otherwise.

Words of advice-please read the post before you answer and please choose your words a little more carefully.

You know what's funny...all you have to do is read the first line...as it clearly states (IN BOLD) 'NOT FOR A WEDDING.'

I guess some people have an aversion to bold lettering!!! They probably just read the title and nothing else.....

Re: How do we feel about the DJ Giveaways???? (w/POLL)

I really don't like them... Whenever I have been to a party that has them, people dance around with them for a few minutes and then want to get rid of them so they wind up on the side of the dance floor, all over the tables, etc.
Not a fan of giveaways.
