House Party Swap n Shop

Review of Fondue Swap Party organized by OC Divas Women's Social Group

On Friday, September 3, 2010, I attended a Fondue Swap Party organized by OC Divas Women's Social Meetup Group  http://www.meetup.com/OCDIVAS/calendar/14173714/. There was cheese fondue and chocolate fondue. The fondues were made in crockpots. There were approximately 15 women who showed up. To determine the order for swapping, we each drew 5 playing cards. The best poker hand went first. I had two aces (which was the best hand in the group), so I got to go first. Then a list was made based on who had the best poker hands.

I enjoyed going in a particular order. The swapping went much slower, but we got to see what everyone was choosing and who was receiving the items that we brought. Many of us tried on the items of clothing that we were interested in and got feedback from the other women at the swap. The other women would suggest items of clothing that they thought might fit or might look good on someone else.

Here is the event description:

It's been a while since we've had a swap party and I've been wanting to have a fondue party so I thought it
