Here’s how:
Step one: Invite friends who may be interested in renewing their wardrobe or reading a new book. Make it easy by simply sending a text or email invite.
Step two: Start digging through your closet to find those impulse buys that you really thought you would wear, but never did. No worries, my friend. One girl’s impulse purchase is another girl’s gem.
Step three: This step should be the only spending involved. Purchase a few delightful goodies for your guests to enjoy. Examples of this may include the big boxes of appetizers found in the freezer sections at your local super market. These were a hit. ;)
Step four: Figure out a unique way to start the swap. The example from the party-inspired source, Real Simple, was to use tokens to correspond with the items brought. (ex. 3 items = 3 tokens) Easy, right? I just used the honesty policy and it worked quiet well!
Step five: The day of the party should be worry free since it is highly dependent on the amount of items your guests bring. Oh, don’t worry…you will be pleasantly surprised at the gems that your guests have in their closets – not to mention the amount of items they have in their closets. The more items you have, the more selection for everyone.
Enjoy the snacks, drink some tea, and have fun!
