I used white tablecloths on the tables with wrapping paper runners for the center (Target Dollar Spot roll wrapping paper is just the right width & price).
The savory buffet included sweet & sour meatballs, mini pigs in a blanket, pepperoni dip with bagel chips, holiday tortilla chips with hot queso dip and vegetable tray with ranch dressing.
The dessert buffet included peppermint chocolate cupcakes, Oreo cheesecakes, mini eclairs, dipped Milano cookies, Rice Krispie Treats and Rolo pretzel turtles.
The beverage station. I also had a Hot Cocoa Bar set up (oops, no pictures).
The Bakers:
Mmmm...cookies! Bakers were asked to bring 1 package of 6 cookies for each guest with attached recipe card.

I am so excited to have 2011's Cookie Exchange at our new house!

I really like this idea and am glad you shared it.
A question - you said "Bakers were asked to bring 1 package of 6 cookies for each guest with attached recipe card" and I think earlier you said that you had 20 guests. So does each guest bake 120 cookies of the same kind? Or do they make different recipes?
best wishes, Julie.
Very very nice!! looks like a lot of fun.
Hey, one way to get round the wallpaper issue... get a large sheet of chipboard from the craft store and cover it with fabric that matches your event :)
This blog gives me a bunch of creative ideas! Thanks.

I love this blog!I like how a simple idea could turn a party into an awesome work of art!I also recommend using standees that are great for picture taking. I got mine here: http://www.almostbreathing.com/
They really looked real and my daughter really loved the Winnie the pooh standee that I made for her. It cost me way less than what I have budgeted it for.
Looks like there was nice party ;-) Greetings.
