Holiday Cookie Swap

[dolphinrescuegirl]

I would like to host a cookie swap but have never done so or attended one before. Those of you who have attended or hosted a party, tell me about the party, the invites, how many cookies each person brought, etc. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated! Hope to hear from you soon!

Hey Unicorn thumbsup2 )!

I love cookie swaps. My friend and I co-hosted one this past weekend. Here's how it went:
-Invitation: Just a regular invitation that was in Holiday colors, had the where, when, etc. Also asked the guests to bring about 40 of their favorite homemade cookies in a disposable container. It asked to have the guests RSVP with the type of cookie they were bringing.
-The Decor: Everything was red and green. The hostess had a big table set up. On the table there were placecards with the guests name and their type of cookie on it. At the end of the table there was a big stack of disposable Glad containers/bowls with lids.
-How it went down:Guests walk in, put their cookies in their assigned place. Everyone socializes. Has a few drinks. Tries all the cookies. Then takes a container and packs it full with the cookies they liked.

It's so much fun and easy to host!! Have a great party!

EDIT: we also had appetizers and tea/coffee. Girls can't live on cookies alone! Well..maybe..
