HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!
FE is a lot of fun and doesn't have to be expensive or time consuming. First you need some sort of "Holder" to hang from the metal fish that is outside each stateroom (hence "fish extender"). Most people use a 3 or 4 pocket holder, but you can use a small tote bag or anything else you want to use. It cannot be more than about 8 1/2 inches wide to fit in the space under the fish, though. There are several threads on the main board about making/buying fish extenders, some with photos.
Once you have your container to receive the gifts the fun begins. People who have joined will then secretly put surprises in your fish extender, so when you come back to the cabin there is a surprise waiting for you. The items have to be small enough to fit in the holders and people can be so creative! Some groups assign each participant a certain day, others just let people deliver when they want to. Popular gifts seem to be Disney items, cruise/beach , pirate night things, hand sanitizer, door magnets, special things from your hometown, etc. You get the idea. Some people give a per- cabin gift, others go with per-person . Some have a standard gift for everyone, others personalize their gift based on the age and sex of the recipient. It's all up to the giver to decide how to do it.
The participation list is generally closed about 2 weeks before sailing to allow the coordinator (thanks nikitta28!!
) to finalize the list and get it to everyone, and also so participants can buy/package their FE items for travel, especially those who may be doing WDW first, but again, this is something that the group decides. So... who's in for some Valentines Week FE Fun ? Let nikitta28 know so you can be added to the list!
I just noticed, it is Valentines cruise, how sweet! 
I really should buy a romantic package.
