Things You'll Need:
- Invitations Food and beverage Ornaments
-
Step 1
Decide on a guest list. It's best to invite a larger group, because not everyone will be able to attend. If you have a smaller group of friends, ask them to bring along a guest or two.
-
Step 2
Write out your invitations. Include date, time and location for your party. On your invitations, state that guests should bring an ornament. Have them stay under a certain price, such as $10, and bring it wrapped in holiday paper.
-
Step 3
Decide on food and beverages to serve at your party. If you are planning for a large group of people, have a lot of finger foods or even a small buffet that guests can help themselves to whenever. If you are having a smaller, more intimate party, you may choose to have a sit-down meal.
-
Step 4
Collect RSVPs closer to the date to get an indication of how many people will be attending. Have enough chairs for everyone.
-
Step 5
Enjoy your party. When people arrive, have them place their wrapped ornaments in a pile. Once everyone has arrived, you can start picking numbers. When a guest's number is up, she can pick a wrapped ornament and open it. You can have the option for people to trade later if they want to.
