i need a mini-theme for my holiday party
i was going to do the ugly sweater theme, but i'm already getting gripes about that. the party is going to be on my birthday (Dec 12th) but I'd much rather it be a holiday party, then b-day. Just happens to be my birthday. We want to do appetizers and drinks at our house. Then possibly go out later in the night to the wine bar down the street.
any other fun 'sort of a theme' ideas? i don't want to make people bring a gift for a swap. but doing a dirty santa/white elephant (gag gift or something from your house) seems like it'd be pretty easy.
Re: i need a mini-theme for my holiday party
What about an ornament exchange? I do that with my friends, and it's nice because everyone can use more ornaments, and it's relatively inexpensive.
Wishing you an early happy birthday too.
What about a "winterwonderland"
How about a theme of "12 days of Christmas"
you could have 12 different stations in your house. (appetizers, food, drinks, cups etc..)
"one the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a bright red Christmas Martini" (at a martini drink station)
"On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a large fruit cake, all for me"
"On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a spiral cut ham baked in honey"
This is a great idea, but I would leave out the fruit cake. Bleh.
Mi Casa
Why don't you do a cocktail theme? Then everyone could dress up and it would be nice because you guys would be going out afterward. Or it that too broad of a theme?
What if you go with a color? Everyone can wear something in that color (be it shirt, earrings, belt, headband, tie, socks) and all your party goods, like cups, plates and napkins can go with that color. Simple decor could be twinkle lights, candles or a vase of flowers in the color.
You could do:
White
Gold
Red
Silver
Green
