Classic Events By Kris: Spectacular Spring Party

Ready for some Spring Cleaning? Everyone has a couple accessories in their closet that they don't use anymore so throw an Accessory Swap Party this Spring!

I planned this Accessory Swap Party last April after being inspired by a post on Brassy Apple about the same type of idea. I chose to go with hot pink and zebra prints for the decor for the party. I did not plan any activities other than swapping but you can choose to have your guests choose numbers to pick out accessories or there are several other ways of coordinating your swap.

We spent the night drinking wine, snacking on delicious appetizers & desserts and swapping accessories! Overall, a great girls night in....

I stocked the bar with pink vodka, wines, mixers and pink sugar rimmed glasses. Tip: Use honey to rim the glasses with sugar, not water. Helps keep the sugar on the glasses and adds extra sweetness to your drinks.

The dessert table was filled with cake pops, chocolate covered pretzels and chocolate covered strawberries, decorated with pink/zebra linens and pink votives. All the vases had pink and/or zebra ribbon around them to add to the color scheme.

I purchased a mirror at Michael's to use on the table, displayed on a recipe book holder with zebra ribbon to fit with our theme! The jewelry stand is also from Michael's.

Small pink bags were located on the Accessories Table so guests could package their chosen items to bring home...

There was plenty of room to try on and browse all the accessories. Bags, hats and scarves were arranged in a different location than jewelry and hair accessories. We had a great assortment of items for everyone to choose from!
