Great friends, great food and nice clothes. Where else could you have so much fun partying with friends and return home with new-to-you clothing without paying? Spring is a wonderful time to clean out your closets and plan a party.
Simply set a date at least a month in advance, contact your relatives, friends and neighbors and invite them to participate. Ask them to tell their friends and invite them as well. You need to be certain you will have enough people so that all sizes ranges will be represented. Your event will be even more interesting and rewarding if everyone brings items from their entire family to swap.
Ask your guests to bring a covered dish (keep track so your menu is varied or you need to make a suggestion if a particular food has not yet been volunteered), and their unwanted clothing. Tally up the guest list, provide the plates, cups, liquid refreshments and anything else appropriate.
Beg or borrow clothing racks to easily display the clothing and set up the refreshments. If the day you pick does not rain – run a clothesline outside and hang the items there. You won’t need to have the swap at your own home if you can find a park or a covered picnic grove where your private party would be permitted.
Any leftover clothing should either be retrieved by the owner or taken to a charity.
Enjoy your new clothes!
