How to Host a Purse Party

The great thing about purse and accessory exchange parties is that the entertainment is built into the party!

To make your party even more fun, play a game that's a perfect match for purse exchange parties. "What's in your Purse?" is a hilarious game that reveals just enough about each lady to get some real laughs!

To host a purse party, each guest selects at least one handbag from her closet (accessories can be selected too if you wish). Each guest can bring as many items as she likes. The guest must be able to part with the items she brings to the party, but she will be taking home a new sparkly token to hold her treasures and adorn her wardrobe.

The purses and accessories are exchanged either by playing purse exchange games, by simply selecting a different purse, or by "purchasing" the purse.

To host parties where handbags are "purchased", the host can provide decorative price tags to make the items look very appealing. A price tag is placed on each item.

To make things simple, all hand bags and accessories receive a $5 price tag and $10 is reserved for designer purses. You can vary this if you prefer.

The host gives each guest the appropriate amount of play money for the number of items she donates to the party. The guest can use the play money to "purchase" the hand bags or accessories she wishes.

Designer type gift bags to hold the "new" purchases are a special touch. Placing a little decorative tissue paper in the gift bag is an extra frill that gives this party the boutique feel. If nicely displayed, the gift bags can serve as decor for your party.
