How to Host a Swap Party
Gather friends―and their excess stuff―for this thrifty get-together, and start trading.
Party Basics
Why do it: Beyond being economical, eco-friendly, and an excuse to clean out your closet, a swap party with friends is far more fun
than a yard sale with strangers.
Whom to invite: Friends with similar taste. For a good variety of merchandise, eight people is a manageable number, though anywhere from
3 to 20 is doable.
Invitation or e-mail? Send Real Simple’s free customizable Evite (available at realsimple.com/evite). Give guests two weeks’ notice to start gathering their belongings.
