We never had a paddle "party" bit it was tradition for the bigs to make them for their littles. Most families had a specific design and layout. After initiation the little would usually make them for their bigs. We made paddles for everything though, there was a spirit paddle that got passed around each week, paddles for your Secret Big sis, paddles for your Pearl, we were very crafty;-) I need to make one for my little in Oklahoma, I'm thinking of trying decupage. But feel weird breaking from my tradition.
