So, I was going to post a video of my boyfriend, Sanj, doing my makeup, but there were some technical difficulties.. Now, I'm going to share with you the process of hosting a clothing exchange party. Why you might ask? Cause, I decided to host a clothing exchange party TONIGHT!
A clothing exchange party is where friends get together and exchange clothes they don't wear anymore. I asked my friends to bring five items: tops, bottoms, dresses, scarves, jewelry, shoes, makeup, nail polish, hair accessories, essentially anything. The plan is to listen to music, sip wine, and find a new outfit.
Here are the steps:
1. Send a mass text, and look at your calendar.
I probably did this wrong myself, but if you want to have a successful party, this what you need to do. Send a mass text to your guests to see which dates work the best for them. It's pre-exam time, so many students are too busy with books and stuff... If you insist on having a party now, see if Sunday works, because most people chill and watch Netflix anyway.
2. Facebook event it (and tweet it, and Instagram it).
Make a Facebook event so people remember to make time, and book off work. Add photos and get a conversation started so your guests stay excited.
3. Promise food and wine.
Students on a budget are always down for a free glass of wine and appetizers. If you're the host, pick your snacks based on whats in the freezer and pantry. There's no need to go out and buy anything special. If you have NOTHING, make it a potluck event!
4. Follow up.
Re-send a mass text to remind people about your event! The more the merrier, right? Students have so much going on, they'll appreciate the reminder. Oh, and tell them to bring a friend--get a party started!
Throughout the night, i'll add photos of my party progress. Stay tuned!
