Christmas Cookie exchange invite

[HGraceMom]

I'm working on my Christmas Cookie Exchange invitation - It needs to go in the mail in about 10 days, to arrive in time for the early party... This is the general format I'd like to follow (a recipe card) but it doesn't look enough like a recipe to me. Any suggestions?

TIA!

here are my suggestions- I took out the first yield since you had two and you mention 4 dozen cookies in a few different places. Do you want people to bring serving trays, too? When you say "add cocktails", I am not sure if you want people to bring their own or if you will provide. Also- do you want people to bring copies of their recipes? I've seen this done at some exchanges. Love the idea- very creative!

Thanks, that's much improved over my first try... which was just typed as a quick draft at 7am... thus the foggy general idea.
