I remember that you always wanted to lead one of these. I say go for it-- especially since no one stepped up to the plate last year. I would gladly participate.
Since I've hosted a couple Secret Santa events, I have some tips. My first tip is that you get a cohost to help lighten the load. This also brings me to my second point. Number your participants as they sign up. You would be #1, your cohost #2, and the participants would be all following numbers. You would pair up the even numbers and your cohost would pair up the odd numbers. That way, neither you nor your cohost would know who you were paired up with.
I also have a suggestion. To make the event more inclusive, maybe combine artists, wallers, and fiction writers into one big Secret Santa. That way, more people will participate.
If you need any more guidance, I'd be happy to offer.
Call it karma. Call it luck. Me, I just don't give a... BOUNCE!
