The holiday season just wouldn’t be complete without enjoying some yummy Christmas cookies. With that in mind, we jumped at the opportunity to host our very own cookie exchange party! There are several fun reasons to host a cookie exchange party of your own. It is not just a opportunity to swap tasty recipes and munch on treats, it is also a casual yet festive way to gather family and friends during the holiday season. Additionally, this party is a cinch to plan! Continue reading to learn our favorite tips for hosting a cookie exchange party and get motivated by the celebration we hosted, also!
The Basics
Whether snail mail or e-vites, send invitations out for a guest list as soon as possible. The holiday season tends to be very busy! In addition, don’t forget to incorporate a set of ground rules with your invitations. By way of instance, clarify if no pre-made mixes are allowed, include how many cookies each guest should bring (we did two dozen each), specify attire (festive!) , and alert guests of almost any food restrictions in the event of allergies. It’s also a excellent idea to ask guests to send you their recipes beforehand. This way you will have a preview of the cookie menu and may suggest changes if there are duplicate recipes. We made a recipe book with everyone’s recipes to hand out as favors (more on this below)!
Cookie Displays
Bell jars, festive dishes, cake stands, cupcake wrappers, and apothecary jars are some of our favourite ways to exhibit goodies because they’re not just pretty but also simple for serving. Plus, they’re practical also for much more special occasions to come! We are also big fans of cardsthat way, guests know what they’re biting into beforehand. A couple of our favourite ways to display place cards in a festive manner include ornaments and ribbon candy.
Packaging
When it comes to packaging for the biscuits, we say opt for colorful boxes and treat bags. String, twisty ties, tissue paper, and labels make fun finishing touches. Also, don’t forget about drinks. Personalized milk jars, frosted cups, or other drinkware is a fantastic way to serve beverages and double as a favor also.
Favors
Speaking of favors, why do not make the party extra memorable with a keepsake? Yes, guests get to take home biscuits, but trust us when we say that they won’t last long! We decided to collect everybody’s recipes beforehand and publish them in a book. That way, everyone can create their favorites in the future as well as have a keepsake in this memorable event.
