Gingerbread Men and Star Cookies for a Cookie Exchange
A dark green background holds a white page edged with pine sprigs, smiling gingerbread men, iced star and snowflake cookies, candy canes and red sweets. YOU’RE INVITED TO A sits at the top, Christmas runs in a red script and COOKIE EXCHANGE follows in bold green capitals. A friendly paragraph, a green band with the date and time, an address and an RSVP number sit below.
Cookies Around a Paper Sheet
The card is 5 x 7 inches, portrait. The white sheet looks like a recipe page laid on a table of cookies, which suits the theme. Guests usually leave with a box of mixed cookies, so suggest they bring a tin.
Date and Address
The band reads SAT 16th DEC AT 6:00 PM. December 16 was a Saturday in 2023, so check the weekday for your year. Replace Anywhere St with your address and set the RSVP number. The paragraph about holiday cheer and sweet treats can stay as it is.
Preparing the Cookie Exchange Invitation
- Check the weekday.
- Type the address.
- Set the RSVP.
- Add cookie rules.
- Send early.
Cookie Exchange Rules
Most cookie exchanges ask each guest to bake a set number of cookies, such as six dozen, and bring a container to take some home. Add a short line under the paragraph with the number and any rules.
Allergy Labels
Ask guests to label cookies that contain nuts or other allergens. Small printed labels in the same green and red help.
Printing the Dark Green Table
The dark green background prints richly on matte card and makes the cookies stand out. Print a test to check that the small red sweets stay bright.
Recipe Cards
Ask guests to bring a recipe card for their cookies. Swapping recipes is half the fun.
Cookie Swaps at the Office
Offices can run a lunchtime cookie swap with the same invitation. Change the address to the break room and the time to noon, and ask each person to bring two dozen cookies.
Sending the Cookie Invitations
Send them three weeks ahead to give bakers time.
