Cookie Swap Party

I LOVE cookies so when I saw a book by Gooseberry Patch on Cookie Swaps I was in HEAVEN! There are MANY ways you can do your party. I set the date and just asked all my guest to bring a BIG batch of there favorite cookies (try to see what kind they are making so you don't end up with all one kind). When the guest arrived, we placed them on a table and everyone was able to get what ever they wanted. I also made a few other finger foods that were not sweet so we didn't all have a sugar overload, lol.

At the end of the night I gave everyone a bag to place whatever cookies that were left over in. We played a few games that were fun such as I broke the girls up into pairs they had one minute to write down all the words they could think of that started with a certain letter that the host chose (such as the letter D) then after 1 min they have to make up a story using all the word they came up with! I also had the guest bring a cheap1-5 dollar wrapped present and played a gift exchange game which with the right crowd can be dangerous (lol) and REALLY fun! We had lots of fun!

This year I am already planning. I found some cute jars at a thrift store and I am going to fill it up with candy so they can guess how many there are (closest guess gets the jar) and I'm going to ask that all guest wear the UGLIEST sweater they can possibly find (I can't wait for this) I will give a gift to the one with the ugliest sweater also, and of course a prize will go to the best cookie. That reminds me tell your guest to bring the recipe with them cause if it is a good cookie you know that someone will want it!

Also, while I was at the thrift store I noticed they had a huge pile of Christmas tins that were 25-50 cents they would be PERFECT for guest to take home there cookies in just make sure to clean them all out!

My party was a ladies only it is so nice to kick the men and kids out and have a night for the ladies!

Please feel free to tell me how you do your cookie swap parties I would LOVE to know and if you have anymore fun game ideas!

Also, it probably wouldn't hurt to have a gallon of milk nearby!
