Sounds like you've got a pretty thorough list.

I would reiterate the mints and tide pen, but leave out the gum. It's not a good idea to have gum during parties, and before the party, the last thing you want to have to do is remember to spit out your gum.

Good thought on the gum! I will ask my daughter what the gamma chi's will have there for them. I loved the idea of flowers before prefs! Thanks so much.

Exactly my thought when I saw your list.

tampons or pads.

YES! This was the first thing I thought of! We had a big problem a few years ago with a girl starting her period during a party. She asked one of the girls in the house for a tampon but they wouldn't give it to her because they were worried about the "gift" rule. I was a total ordeal!

OK, that's when you know reporting infractions is out of control. They should have told her where they were in the bathroom and to go steal one.

Loving the suggestions so far, especially the coffee filters & flowers in the morning!

An emory board would be good, too.

Crazy as it may sound, I'd add a handwritten note, reminding your Daughter how precious she is to you no matter what!
