Swap til you drop party!

Clean your closets, grab your friends, and trade your stuff at a party where everybody leaves happy and nobody spends a dime.
1) Invite guests and tell them how many items to bring 10 or more. Invitations can be made to look like tags. take card board cut into a tag, paste decorative paper, then print out your party detail and paste on tag. Hole-punch at the top and add string.
2) Tag each item with first owners name and description of item and selling point. Like; "loved the yellow purse just got a new one"
3) Set up. To protect dining table add a wide runner of kraft paper and clean boxes to display items for easier viewing. Give each guest clothespins write name on them. To claim an item clip pin to its tag. If multiple people want the same item, put all the pins in a hat and draw a winner.
4) Box up leftovers-donate

Menu:
Pulled bbq pork sandwiches, fruit salad, chips, pickle.
Recipe for pork: Ingredients; pork roast, 2 bottles bbq, 3 beef bouillons, water
Put roast in crockpot, add water til covered, put in beef bouillons. cook 8 hrs or over night til tender. drain water or save for soup later. Add 1 bottle of bbq, cook 1 hr.
Cute way to display sandwiches; buy small paperbags, cut top of bag with decorative scissors, place long rolls with pork inside each bag. Place bags with sandwiches in a basket on the table. Gives guests something to hold on to and catch all the droppings of meat. Yumo!
