5 Awesome Holiday Party Themes

If you read my previous blog about easing in to the holiday season, you may have already penciled in the date for your holiday party with friends earlier in November. Now is the time to get started on planning the details! But before you can send those invitations and start mapping out your party flow, you need to settle on a theme. Here are some festive themes to spark your creativity this holiday season!

1. Martini's & Mistletoe
A fancy party with fancy drinks for couples or singles to mix and mingle! For couples parties keep the mistletoe to decoration only to avoid any awkward moments with your bestie's beau.

2. Eat, Drink & Wear Ugly
Everyone loves a good ugly sweater! Be sure to have a photo station ready with props to document the less than fashionable statements your guests are making!

3. Cookies & Cocoa (Cookie Exchange)
Invite your guests to bring a container of home cooked (or store bought) cookies to exchange and provide a tasty hot chocolate station! Click here for 5 ways to Style a Hot Chocolate Station.

4. Merry & Bright
Bring a little sparkle to your holiday party with a Merry & Bright theme. Using Christmas lights and glitter, your party will shine!  DIY your Merry & Bright decorations with this awesome project!

5. Friendsgivesmas
You've all heard of Friendsgiving I'm sure, where you have a Thanksgiving dinner with your friends. This takes it to the next level incorporating both Thankgiving and Christmas in to one fantastic dinner party! This would be perfect for those early December parties just after Thanksgiving.



Now that you've got your theme, you can get started on all the planning details! Happy holidays!
