Those that are wondering what is a White Elephant Gift Exchange, below is an excerpt from Wikipedia.
And our gift guidelines are discussed as an item of $20 or over Value.
Our order will start from last person on RSVP list to the first.
White elephant gift exchange (also called Yankee Swap, Scottish Gift Exchange, Thieving Secret Santa, Chinese Gift Exchange, Dirty Santa, or Thieving Elves) is a popular party game usually played during the Christmas season in the United States and Canada. The premise of the game is that each guest contributes one gift to the game, and ultimately each guest walks away with one different gift from the game. The type of gift is sometimes decided ahead of time (e.g., "something less than $10," "a used item from home," "a gag gift," etc.).
Gameplay
All participants bring their gift to “the pile.” Gifts are wrapped, but are not labeled to reflect a sender or recipient. The first participant unwraps a gift from the pile and then shows it to everyone. From the next participant onwards, each successive person can either steal a previously unwrapped gift or open a new gift from the pile. If a person's gift is stolen, that person can immediately unwrap a new gift or steal another person's gift. As an optional rule, a gift is considered "dead" and cannot be stolen again after it has been stolen three times. The item in your possession is not yours until the game is over (i.e. a food item cannot be eaten until the game is over).
It does not matter what order your participants take turns in. Some groups sit in a circle and go clockwise or counterclockwise. Some groups choose to draw numbers, and then play in that order, and yet others choose more complicated routes. The process you use for determining who plays next does not affect the game play.
Variants
In a variant, the gift is wrapped inside-out, so that the printed part of the wrapping paper is not visible to the recipient. The back of the wrapping paper is typically white, and while this could be considered the etymology of the term "white elephant" it is more likely that the name is an acknowledgment that many of these gifts, once unwrapped, are unappealing to the recipient and as such considered white elephants since the gift's cost (the recipient will have contributed a gift themselves) exceeds its utility. For the most part, white elephant gifts are gag gifts that are supposed to be funny.
In another variant, called a Yankee Swap, the person who picked first also has the option of picking last or keeping the gift already in hand.
Remember, DO NOT put a To / From on top of the gift. please keep your gifts discreet from determining the sender. Thanks.
Also, for those RSVPed, I may provide a gift for each, as I have not decided yet.
Final RSVP list will be available tonight as waiting for some confirmations. Thank You
