Hey friends! How’s your week so far?? Today I’m sharing my recent Woolite In Home Clothing & Accessories Exchange Boutique! What a mouth full, right!?! But we had the BEST time! {Please pardon the photo overload!}
First things first, this was a sponsored party via Woolite and Crowdtap. I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again, if you haven’t joined Crowdtap yet, you really should get on that! You’ll have the opportunity to host fun parties, try free products and share your opinion! I received several samples of Woolite’s Everyday Laundry Detergent to share and discuss with my guests. Then I got to plan a fun party around doing so!!!
I decided to purchase my own bottle of Woolite Everyday before the party so that I could test the product and then be able to share my own opinion at the party. The verdict? I loved the scent! My clothes came out of the washer smelling fresh and clean, but not overwhelming. I really do think that with continued use my clothes will look better over all.
The party planning started with inviting several friends and family over to my house for a clothing and accessories exchange. I asked everyone to bring 3-5 items to trade and even sent out a few ideas via my Facebook page and through Instagram pics. You can check out the live tweets from before and during . Just look for the hashtags #wooliteers and #woolitewashed.
I went with a sort of bright colors and Spring theme for the party since it was held right before Easter weekend. Treats were centered around bright colors and Easter candy! {Please excuse the bad lighting, it was late evening during the party!}
The pink punch was served in mason jars with striped paper straws. To make your own Sparkling Spring Pink Punch combine two, two liter bottles of Strawberry Lemonade and one 20 oz. bottle of club soda. Serve on ice!
Sweets included chocolate dipped Peeps on skewers, Jolly Rancher Jelly Beans {my favorite!!!} and chocolate dipped pretzels with pink sugar sprinkles!
To offset so many sweets I also served a fruit tray and this easy two ingredient fruit dip. {It’s a party staple in my house!} And I made up my own version of the tortilla pin wheels! To make your own you’ll need:
- 5 or so large flour tortillas
- 2 8 oz. packages of cream cheese (room temperature for easier mixing!!)
- A small can of chopped black olives
- A small can of chopped green chiles (or use fresh like I did and just peel and chop about two large chiles)
- 1 package of ranch dressing mix
Mix all the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl or electric mixer, then spread on your tortillas. Roll tortillas up, wrap in plastic wrap and store in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. Cut into thin slices and serve!
Once my guests arrived we enjoyed some treats, visited and talked about the Woolite Everyday Laundry Detergent samples.
I decorated the boutique area with a bright striped table cloth and bright colored bags for guests to take home their goodies. I stuck a ‘Thanks for Swapping‘ message on each bag.
After treats it was time to swap!!! The table was covered with cute tops, jewelry, scarves, dresses, shoes and more! I made paper numbers and had each guest draw a number. Number one got to choose one item of clothing, then number two took her turn and so on.
Oh, and just in case you were starting to wonder if I was even there… haha. I took a turn shopping as well! I even found a few really cute items to wear with my preggo belly for the next couple of months!!!
By the time all of the items were gone from the table everyone had several new to them items to take home!
Thanks to Woolite and Crowdtap for sponsoring this fun party! As always opinions expressed on Truly Lovely are 100% my own thoughts!!!
What a fun evening! -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures
It really was! Thanks for the visit Marci!
What a fun idea! I want to host a swap now!
You should! We had the best time and everyone ended up with some new to them items they were excited to get! Too fun!
Looks like everyone had a good time. A clothing swap is a great idea. I joined Crowdtap awhile ago and am always doing the quick hits. I’m not really sure how it works though.
As long as you keep doing the Quick Hits you’ll be good to go. Watch for Actions to come up. You should receive an email telling you when there is a new one to apply for… As soon as you see those and want to join hurry and sign up. They fill up fast. It’s even better if you just happen to see they’re available before you get the email, that way you have a head start. The more you do the more likely you are to get chosen for the freebies and parties!
Looks like you ladies had a lot of fun! Awesome! xxx
It was a really good time! Thanks for the comment Chrissy!
