Springtime Clothing Swap Party

Over the weekend I hosted a clothing swap party with a few friends. I asked each of them to bring between 5 and 10 current pieces to trade out over mimosas and apps.
We had a small group with just 4 of us, but it worked out well and I'm going to consider it practice for the next one which I hope to have more people attend.
Mimosas and a cute puppy named Ziggy.
A new dress for Morgan
A few of the items brought were brand new with tags, major scores! When everyone arrived I handed out initialed tags in accordance with how any pieces of clothing they brought. Each person than chose a number from the birdcage that was the order you went through the lot. As you found items you wanted you tagged them, if more than one person tagged the same item those numbers were drawn to see who got to take the article of clothing home with them.
Avocado Hummus
I made appetizers to munch on while the clothes were organized and everyone took their turn trying on and giving ideas on how to style things.
Mini Caprese and Pesto, Goat Chesse, Polenta, and Sundried Tomato Bites
How could a Saturday afternoon filled with mimosas, fashion, cupcakes, friends and baby smiles not be fun?!
Orange Creamsicle Cupcakes with gold sprinkles
Even though it was a small group we still all got some cute new pieces to take home and I have a big bag of "leftovers" to donate.
Serena, Milo (the only male allowed at this party-other than Ziggy), Martina, Morgan and me
I have a few new shirts and I won that pretty yellow ostrich bag! I'm already planning the next swap party and thinking about what I will trade out.

Have you went to a swap party before? I definitely recommend you consider one with some of your friends.
