Look no further, here are some of our favorites we’ve seen, and decor of course!

Finding a Theme

Yes, the theme may be Christmas, Hanukkah, New Years, or whatever else you feel is important to celebrate and be thankful for. However, add another element to that theme. Make it an “Ugly Christmas Sweater Soiree” or “Holiday Themed Food Potluck”. The themes are endless! You can have a “Mistletoe & Margaritas” party for a small cocktail event. Dress as elves or all in red for a large Christmas party. Do it in style and make it fun! Here are a few inspiration pictures that got us going and thinking about what would be the best theme for this year.

Festive Foods & Brews

It’s important for any party to have food, and drinks. Pinterest is full of ideas for creating fun snacks, and entrees to go with a holiday theme. Adult parties usually include some sort of alcohol, having a signature cocktail, or even drinking game is welcomed.  A private residence party, is a great excuse for a potluck. This helps the host to have less mess and stress day of. If hosting a party at a restaurant or banquet facility, be sure to include some fun holiday like items in the bar and menu.

Deck The Halls

The best way to bring holiday cheer is through decor. Other than the traditional mistletoe, holly, tinsle, and pine trees, there is much more that can be used. Festive centerpieces with fir sprigs, and candles, buffet menus made out of candy canes, and other spirited pieces with bows and ribbon. Using your every day items, mixed with seasonal favorites (like candy canes) here is some inspiration for you.
