Vintage Party Swap Invite!

This swap is now FULL!
After gathering some of my favorite vintage party supplies together, I thought it may be fun to host a little swap. I did have some hiccups with the last swap. So if you don't think you can follow through on this, please don't sign up. It really makes for a giant headache, especially for the swap hostess, yours truly. So for those of you that would like to do this.


Decide on a party theme that you would like to receive items for. It could be for a:

birthday (please specify baby, child, adult)
baby shower
wedding
anniversary
spring
holiday
tea party
anything else you may come up with

Comment on this post with your top two preferences for theme and your email. Then I will partner you up and you will send to that person in the theme of their choice. Now you certainly do not need to supply them with all of their party needs. Your not expected to find 20 of the same napkins or plates. They could always scan in the image and come up with thier own. The idea is to send them a variety of items for their theme, with a vintage twist. Now they can be actual vintage or vintage inspired, but should definitely have a vintage "vibe" to them. Know what I mean?! For example, I am gathering vintage items for my little girls 3rd birthday. This could include party napkins, plates, maybe some neat party hats, cupcake toppers, wrapping paper, vintage party cookbook. You get the idea. *I highly encourage at least one item to be handmade vintage inspired.* Sound like fun? I will only take the first 40 serious swappers!!! Oh yea, and the mail out date is by April 14th (my daughters 3rd birthday!) You must be in the US or Canada and be willing to ship either US or Canada, priority mail with delivery confirmation.

Here are my party inspired pages in my 21 Days Challenge journal.

Party on!

Hi. I sent an email to you asking to join - love your swaps!

I thought holiday/summer - memorial day/4th of july and spring - easter/floral. Something along those lines!

I'm thinking of a herbal themed gathering - Scarborough Fair - "parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme."

I'll send a private email with my own in return.

I love vintage party goods!!! Count me in! All the ideas sound lovely. Party theme: 1) Summer Soiree (alfresco), and I like Maria's suggestion (but it doesn't have to be with Mommy and me) 2) Vintage Craft Party

Oh and your daughter was lucky to make it till the 14th, my sister was born 4/13 and her birthday has fallen on friday the 13th several times! Now there's a party suggestion - Friday the 13th, eek!

Kari - This looks wonderful and I'd love to do this. My thoughts - a "Picnic in the Park"
or
"Tea by the Sea" for my annual girlfriend trip to the beach.

Glad to know about this vintage party. Last month, I arranged my best friend’s birthday party dinner at one of best Chicago event venues. Hired a reputed party caterer and he prepared quite delicious food for the party. Every guest praised for the preparations!
