Swapping Soiree Tips

How to set-up your clothing swapping soiree: location ideas, invitation styles, and creating a try-on-athon!LOCATION

While you won't be able to rent out Barney's for the occasion, you do need a space that is comfortable, airy and open for this type of party.

Clear your living room by pushing and moving furniture out of the way.
Create makeshift "dressing rooms" by draping sheets or a large curtain in the corner of the room.

INVITATIONS

Save money on pricey invitations plus postage by composing an
invitation with Plan Your Party.

Make sure all necessary details are included " typically these types of parties tend to work best on weekend afternoons.
Rack your brain for your top ten or less friends that may be interested and advise them to bring old shopping bags full of their wardrobe rejects.
Anything's fair game " from former cocktail dresses to that pair of shoes ordered online that never quite fit.

TRY-ON-ATHON

When all your guests arrive, serve up a mixture of inexpensive champagne (we like Andre) and juice (try making a mix from concentrate if you're super strict on budget) to loosen guests up.

Have everyone dump their loot on the floor and start by auctioning each item off.
Of course, auction bidding doesn't involve money, more like interest.
If a piece receives multiple bidders, have each woman try on and model for the group to determine the winner.
