Help - What is an ornament exchange?

in February 2014 Moms
So I was invited to a neighborhood party tonight that involves an ornament exchange - anyone ever done one before? Should I wrap my ornament? What should I expect?

    Are you close with any of your neighbors? I would ask one of them. I think these type of things have such a variety of "rules" that it's hard to say. I've got three different gift exchanges this week, and they each have different rules.

    Oh no! We just moved in so no :( I guess I'll just show up and laugh if I did something wrong.

    Ornament in a gift bag that can be ditched easily?

    As to wrapping, if you aren't sure put it in a small gift bag that way, if it's supposed to be wrapped, you are covered, and if it's not, just take it out of the bag.

    Ornament in a bag is the way to go.

    I do an ornament exchange with a bunch of my girls friend every year. I usually go to pier 1 and get one of their cute ornaments and put it in a gift bag.

    I just did one last week. We did it just like a white elephant gift exchange. I'd just put an ornament in a gift bag and show up. Have fun!! :)

    They should have specified "wrapped" on the invite. Regardless, bring it wrapped. Have fun!

    Ok, just a little stressed b/c I don't know that many people in my neighborhood and I'd like to be friends with my neighbors! Everyone loves a pregnant lady, right?

    Yes they do, because we're adorable. Just go, have fun, and be your wonderful self. If it's at someone's house, maybe bring something as well? Cookies or wine? Food and booze make you popular among the neighbours (we just moved in too)
