If you’re planning a kids Xmas Party, you’ll need to make sure that you’ve got Xmas party invitations, decorations, foods and beverages as well as xmas party games and even music. Here are a few ideas for planning a xmas party
Xmas Party Invitations
- Use green construction paper to make an xmas tree invitation that opens in the center. Just fold a piece of construction paper in half, then open it up and fold each half inward. Lay a Christmas tree stencil on top of the paper or draw your own
- Make a snowman invitation by cutting a snowman from card stock and writing the pertinent party information on the backside.
- Make a Christmas stocking with a real pocket that opens. Write the party info on a cut-out candy cane and stick it in the pocket for a 3d xmas party invitation
Xmas Party Decorations
- Soak horse chestnuts in water and string them up for an old-fashioned nut garland.
- collect fresh scented pine branches and needles from the Xmas tree lot and use them in potpourri blends or sprinkle them on the tables for decoration
- Re-purpose tree decorations to make an Xmas centerpiece
- Remove all the pictures from your walls and wrap them in gift wrap, with a ribbon.
- use twinkling white lights as interior decor, not just on the tree, for a magical feel.
