Parties are a time-honored tradition during the holiday season. They are the perfect way for friends, coworkers, and loved ones to gather together to celebrate the holidays. They are also the perfect opportunity to do something fun and different. For instance, you could throw a theme party. No matter who you invite, there is sure to be a wide variety of Christmas party themes to choose from in order to match the personalities of your guests.
For children, there are numerous ideas that you can use for Christmas party themes because it is fairly easy to determine what make children happy. Throw them a Santa Claus party where everyone comes dressed in red with a Santa hat on. Make all of the decorations, serving plates, napkins, and cups Santa-related and maybe even invite a grown up Santa to the party to give out little gift to each of the children. You could also serve Santa shaped cookies and milk.
If a Santa Claus party doesn't interest you, maybe a tree decorating party would. This might be a little more costly but probably not much more than what you would spend on any other party. Once you decide on the number of children that you want to invite, take a trip to your local dollar store and purchase one miniature Christmas tree for each child. You can get them for around $5 a piece and you can also purchase miniature ornaments, garland and tinsel for a very reasonable price. Again, as we did with the Santa Christmas party theme, make sure everything is Christmas tree related, such as cookies, napkins, plates, and decorations.
Even for adults, Christmas party themes can be a lot of fun. You can definitely use your imagination here. Costume parties are always a hit because it is fun to see everyone dressed in costumes. It really shows their imagination. For this type of party, ask your guests to dress up as one of the characters from one of your favorite Christmas cartoons or shows.
For example, if your favorite Christmas cartoon is How the Grinch Stole Christmas, the guests could dress up as the Grinch or Cindy Lou Who. You could even serve your own version of the Christmas feast with the "Roast Beast" and "Who Hash". If you like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer have everyone dress up as Rudolph, an elf, or even the Abominable Snow Man and serve some type of food that you can rename "silver and gold" after the cartoon's theme song.
Christmas is a great time of year and should be enjoyed to the fullest. Parties are the absolute best way to do so, whether it is with your children and their friends or your adult friends, family, and coworkers. You can create Christmas party themes from just about any holiday related item. All you have to do is use your imagination and have fun with it.
Creating a unique and creative party theme for a baby shower or a baby's first birthday can be tough. A great way to get ideas is to go through your scrapbooking stamps and see what you can find. If you have created baby pages you probably have a baby footprint stamp. This one stamp can create a beautiful and unique party theme. Here are 5 ways you can use your baby footprint stamp to create an original party theme.
Napkins:
Napkins are usually the most boring part of the party, but you can dress them up and make them original and gorgeous with your baby footprint stamp. Just add small footprints to the napkin, whether you want one set in the corner, or a little trail up the side of the napkin, or maybe even just a random footprint pattern over the entire napkin. This jazzes up the basic napkin allowing you to save a little money, and still look really nice.
Wrapping paper:
Make your own unique wrapping paper by getting plain white paper, used paper grocery or lunch bags and adding your own personal touch with a baby footprint stamp. You can use this to wrap a gift you are bringing to the party, or even the party favors you are giving to the guests. For some of these larger projects you can even use your baby's own footprint.
Invitations:
A great way to set the tome of a party is with the invitations. A great way to let everyone know your theme is going to be baby footprints is to use your baby footprint stamp on your invitations. You can create the invitations this way or you can even use the stamp on the back of the envelope. You can do this on your own or even get an entire baby footprint invitation kit, which will have everything you need in it.
Table cloth:
A plain old table cloth can be completely transformed with a little ingenuity and a baby footprint stamp. You can use the stamp on the corners, or in a pattern along the edge. You can even stamp a little dance step pattern across the entire table cloth. You can also do a little design around each place setting. Your options are on as limited as your imagination.
Streamers:
To make a plain streamer inspired, just get a light colored streamer, and then use a contrasting or complimentary color for your stamp. You can do them close together or far apart, whatever you think looks best.
As you can see there are tons of ideas to make a baby footprint themed party. You can customize it for a boy or girl depending on the color you use for your stamps. People will think you are a complete original when they see the decorations for this party.
