Planning Early for a Christmas in July Party

Alright- I know it's insanely early to start planning, but DH and I just decided we want to have a Christmas in July party this summer. I was just wondering if anyone had any great ideas. Ways to put a twist on Christmas and make them more "summery!"

I thought it would be a good idea to get some things at the store now, while I can still find Christmas stuff (plus it will be on sale!)  Big Smile

Re: Planning Early for a Christmas in July Party

  • I work at a  rental store that also has costumes.... try looking in your local yellow pages and see if thier is one near you that has rental costumes..... we have a Summer Santa outfit it''s Santa Shorts with the fur around bottom and a hawain shirt with a button down satna jacket that has pockets you can put a bottle of sunscreen in one and  a big hawaiin lei around his neck.  hope this gives you some inspiration.

  • PP's summer Santa sounds like fun.  Maybe DH could wear something similar to greet guests.  Maybe even have people sit with him for a photo op! 

    A red fruity signature drink in Xmas cups (that you might find for cheap at stores now)

    Red and white beach balls as decor?

    Maybe you can find some clearance ornaments and lights now to decorate a palm tree at the party. 

    Good luck!  Sounds like fun.  :) 

  • Great ideas!!! Keep them coming!!! :)

  • For a drink, you could do cosmos served in martini glasses with green rimming sugar.  I did those for a bachelorette party in december, but they'd be even better in the summer since they're served cold.

    What about making christmas cookie ice cream sandwiches for desert?  That would be a cute take on christmas cookies.  You could also do chocolate covered strawberries using red and green chocolate.  Strawberries would be in season in the summer so they'd be cheaper than doing them now.  

    Sounds like fun!

  • OOHHH! You are good at this game!! THANKSBig Smile
