More fun to look forward to.....

Last year we did a Holiday Ornament Swap and it was a lot of fun.

What we did is had a $10 maximum and if you wanted to participate you sent me an FM. I had a deadline and then sent out FMs with the name and address of the secret bride.

I will spear head that again this year. I was thinking I will have a book available at the shower and that can be the official kickoff for the 2011 Holiday Season Ornament Swap!

Re: More fun to look forward to.....

I have so many other ideas but I do not want to bankrupt all of us since it seems like a lot of us are paying for our own weddings!

This year I am going to have stronger rules and I am going to ask everyone to FM when they get the ornament so that I know everyone got it!

On the questions I ask what holiday you celebrate and if it is jewish and no tree (I am a jew but we have a tree) then the person would get a decoration for Hanukkah!
