Tacky Sweater Christmas Party
I so want to host a Tacky Sweater Christmas Party ! ! ! !
Obviously, everyone would wear a ugly holiday sweater, but what else could be done?
Food, games, etc ..... any suggestions?!?!
Anybody gone to one of these parties?
I would love to find some sweater looking invitations too .... how fun would that be?!!?!
Re: Tacky Sweater Christmas Party
You might be a little late on this one. It's already December and the month books up early. Unless you tie it to NYE or a little later winter party you may be SOL this year.
boo... I was afraid of that. My friend said she would help plan it, so we are going to brainstorm tomorrow. I dont think I will do invites, maybe just FB invites!!?!?!? Hmmmmmmm... Crap!
ok, I just can't resist it...
enjoy:

I love this idea. I'm definitely going to blog about this. I don't understand why it's too late to have one. Are you booking it somewhere special? I don't think your SOL. Humm.... I would think you play silly games- board games, charades, and pictionary. For drinks, do red and green drinks and jello shots. Have everyone bring a tacky gag gift or white elephant. Then draw names out of a hat for the gifts. Invites are so cute for these events.

Every person I know has every weekend booked between now and mid January. The holidays are busy and people have parties and family obligations.
I'm having an ugly sweater party this year. We're doing dinner, desserts, and drinks...and maybe games/poker later in the night.
We are going to take "family portraits" - I'm going to put up an ugly plastic Christmas backdrop and have everyone take funny family portrait style pictures. I bought some raindeer antler headbands and some with bouncy Santa's. Should be pretty silly, and super silly after all of the tasty beverages:)
That is such a great idea! You're sure to get some tacky photos once you start making up families. LOL, sorry I can't help but picture my circle of friends and how we'd totally go overboard with this one. Fun! If you can, have a printer available to print the pics for your guests to take one home.
I decided to have one too! I was also kinda late, I wanted to mail out invites but just went the FB route. It was much easier that way, then you can keep track of, immediately, who will be attending. I just sent mine out on Monday and a lot of people have already rsvpd. I'd say if you still would like to have one, send out some sort of evite asap.
We go to a Holiday Sweater Party every year. There is usually an ugly sweater contest (everybody puts their vote in a hat and votes are tallied) and a White Elephant gift exchange.
These are so great ladies! Thanks so much!
I seriously thought of a "photobooth" type deal, and the ugliest sweater male/female game is AWESOME!!! I love they win a prize too!!! I might steal this idea!!!
I'm going to try to make it work, wish me luck!!!

My friend threw one last year, it was a lot of fun!
We had an ugly sweater contest, where we all voted anonymously for the most hideous sweater. The person with the ugliest sweater won some ugly/ridiculous christmas decoration. We also did a white elephant gift exchange....which was also hilarious. And we did the awkward family portraits by the tree. It was super fun. I'm disappointed they didn't do it again this year!
