Welcome, Swifties, to the International Friendship Bracelet Exchange! 🌍✨

In the spirit of all that Taylor Swift, The Eras Tour, and the Swifties themselves embody, I'm inviting you to connect with fellow fans across the globe through the Timeless art of friendship bracelet making, turning our Wildest Dreams into a reality. Before you dive into the form, here are some important notes:

💌 Trust & Community Spirit:

This exchange is built on the trust and goodwill within our Swiftie community. While I hope every bracelet reaches its destination, please understand that there's no guarantee for the delivery of packages, so Don't Blame Me for lost items or non-arrivals. Your participation means you're willing to trust your fellow Swifties and embrace the spirit of giving without a guaranteed return.

💸 International Postage:

Participating means you might be sending bracelets to far-off lands like coney island, or possibly to a London Boy. Please do not sign up if you're not prepared for potential international postage costs. To get an idea of what these might look like, you can refer to the following:

5. ShippingToGo International Shipping Rates

As we know All Too Well, shipping rates can vary based on factors like package size, weight, destination, and additional fees, so it's best to check with your local postal service. Ensure to pack your bracelets so that they're Safe & Sound and include a return sender address in that Blank Space on the packaging, just in case those bracelets start singing You're Losing Me to the courier 🌎📦

🌐 Diverse Connections:

If interest allows, you'll be matched with 13 different Swifties from around the globe. I'll aim for as much country diversity as the participant pool allows. 

🤝 How Matches Work: 

Upon closing the sign-up form, I'll embark on the Enchanted process of pairing you up. Each participant will receive the details of their 13 matches via email, including their first name, contact details, and a hint of their Taylor Swift preferences to spark creativity in your bracelet designs. Remember, the beauty of this exchange lies in the surprise and diversity of the connections you'll make. Your contact information will be used solely for the purposes of this exchange, and deleted after the postage deadline. If there is a Change to your contact information, you'll need to communicate that with your matches.

🚀 Participation Requirements:

- You must be 15 years of age or older to participate
- Only send items that are respectful and in good spirit—nothing hateful, derogatory, or harmful. However, feel free to be as creative and "unhinged" as you'd like as long as it somehow relates to Taylor (e.g. "I died, I'm dead" is fine, "Slut!" is fine). 

- Send a minimum of the 1 bracelet per match, or was many as you'd like!

🎶 Taylor-Inspired Creativity:

I encourage you to infuse your bracelets with the essence of Taylor! Whether it's Red, full of Style, or as Delicate as the Invisible String that connects us, let your imagination run as wild as a cardigan in the willlow wind. If you need some inspiration, checkout Pinterest, r/TaylorSwift or r/SwiftieMerch. If you want to Decode some of Taylor's iconic lyrics, check out this lyric acronym decoder.

⏰ Deadlines:

Don't forget to mark your calendars for the deadline to submit your information - April 19th 2024 12AM AEST (an unforgettable date, if you ask me). Timely submissions ensure everyone has ample time to create and send their bracelets (it's bad Karma if you don't). I'll endeavour to send out matches within a couple of weeks of this deadline. I may be the Mastermind, but I'm no Superman! Please be patient with me and regularly check your emails, including your spam folder.

The last day to post your Gorgeous bracelets off is June 13th 2024 12AM. This gives us all plenty of time to make our bracelets, and ensures that they'll be sent out while Taylor is still on tour!

By filling out this form and participating in the exchange, you acknowledge and accept these terms.
I truly hope you have The Best Day when you receive your bracelets. And no, this is no hoax. Let the games begin!
