Whether you're cleaning up your home at Broadleaf Apartments or you're in need of some new items, but don't want to spend much money, consider hosting a swap party. You can de-clutter your home and snag some new items without digging into your wallet. Check out these tips before you plan a swap party:
- Pick a theme. Decide what you want to swap. It could be stuff like books, shoes, toys, clothes, or decorations.
- Think food. You could always host a food swap. In that case, make sure to let your guests know what they should cook or bake. You could swap frozen premade meals or cookies.
- Invite the right number of people. Invite at least five people to your gathering. If you're thinking about inviting more guests, take the size of your home into consideration.
- Send invitations. Send all of the guests an e-mail or invitation with instructions for the swap. Get it out two weeks before the event so there is enough time to prepare.
- Designate a swapping space. Find a room where there is enough space to browse all of the items. You'll need an area to display the items on tables or clothing racks.
- Swap. You could either let everyone swap at the same time or take turns letting guests exchange items.
