Clothing Swap Party

This weekend, I decided to invite a few friends over for a clothing swap party. I learned about this type of party just a few months ago. The deal is that everyone gathers at a friend's house to exchange their gently used clothing that they no longer want for other people's unwanted clothing items. Generally, I think that the rules call for people to leave with only as many clothing items as they brought to exchange. Since the party that I had was so small (only four ladies) and they each brought a ton of clothing, we decided to freely rummage through the clothes and take as many items as we pleased.

Jeans, bathing suits, and more shirts were placed on the table.

All of the ladies seemed to really enjoy themselves and were eager to have another clothing swap with more people. If you decide to have your own clothing swap party, I suggest that you have plenty of wire hangers, shopping bags (so that people have something to carry their loot home in), and a good mix of background music. Clothing swap parties are a great way to get "new" clothes without having to spend any money. It's also a nice way of keeping old clothes out of landfills.
