Hi! I had my first cookie party yesterday, Dec. 6th. There were 8 of us. Everyone brought 6 dozen cookies. Some people brought three dozen of two kinds of cookies. One woman brought a Santa face cake for our snack as we sat around visiting. The dining room table was full. I provided trays for everyone and each one was loaded with some left over. The others thought I should keep the left-overs for my open house next week. Thanks for the great ideas. We are already excited about making this a yearly traditions.

Fourel,
Congrats on having your first party! Make sure you takes lots of pictures...so you can see how your party progresses over the years... It also help to remind me of what cookies I've made for my parties.
I ask for people to bring their own trays to take their cookies home, but someone always forgets, so I have on hand those disposable baking sheets.
I also have a jumbo box (3000 feet) of plastic wrap to cover peoples cookies for those who don't have a lid to their take home container. Don't want those cookies sliding all over the car when they leave! I got my box at Costco which I still call "Price Club". It costs about 10 bucks and last for an year to two years. Great value!

I save the flat black rectangular take-out containers (from Thai or Chinese food) with clear lids and put cookies in those instead of wrapping on a plate. Easy to carry, store and put in the freezer. Sometimes plastic wrap lets cookies escape out the bottom of the wrap that doesn't seal to the plate.
