“It’s the most wonderful time of the year…” -Andy Williams
We’ve survived Thanksgiving and now it’s time to start planning the festivities for a kid-friendly Christmas bash!
When hosting a kids party remember who you are catering to. The kids themselves! Make it special for them. Get you own kids involved by helping you make the invitations. Bring out the craft supplies and have the kids cut out stockings, stars, and trees from red or green construction paper. On one side include all the party information as well as a little poem such as:
We’re making a list and checking it twice,
without you at the party it wouldn’t be nice!
On the other side let the kids go crazy decorating it. Let them use holiday stickers, crayons, markers, glitter, whatever! Each guest will receive a unique invitation to a party they will be looking forward to.
If you have decided to hold the party at your home then decorations will be a snap since you will have already decorated for the season. Just keep into consideration the age of your guests. You don’t want anything that poses a hazard to the smaller crowd or may be too much of a temptation to touch or play with for the older.
I just love this Party Pack from Shindigz. It epitomizes the tone you want to set for your party and the red and silver look absolutely stunning together.
I highly recommend picking a color scheme and sticking with it. For instance, the party pack above has red and silver. The remainder of the decor should follow along the same lines. You can even incorporate some reindeer into the mix which could easily transcend into the any crafts or games you decided to have.
You could also decorate in mainly blue, white and silver and add snowmen or penguins!
