Christmas Open House
A
Christmas Open House is so much fun because the party goes on and on and on and
on! I don't know about you, but I like that. I have more time to spend with
friends and family when they stop in for a little while than when they are there
all night. Why? I'm not sure. I guess because the crowd is thinner.
Invitation:
Any holiday
invitation will do. What's most important are the times. Don't forget to
include start and finish and the words "OPEN HOUSE." Otherwise,
people will think it's a regular party, and you don't want that!
Decorations:
Your usual décor is fine. But you may want to add a little goodie for
everyone as they leave. I'll talk about this more under "favors."
Make sure to have enough mistletoe on hand and don't forget to decorate your
guests with nametags if this is a mixed crowd of friends, family, co-workers
and others! Everyone on hand will certainly appreciate that! Try our Christmas
Decorating Kit to keep things simple and festive.
Menu:
Have plenty of food and drink on hand. Use our drink calculator to figure
out much liquor to buy. Don't forget eggnog and maybe a holiday punch. We have
some fun recipes for you to use, too.
You'll want to serve finger foods-nothing you have to cut or have trouble
eating or that is messy and you can get all over you. There's nothing worse
than standing there with a plate, silverware and a glass of wine! Make it easy
on your guests and on yourself-let them graze not chow down!
Try themed paper goods to add a splash of panache to your fete. If
winter is more your theme, try Mr.
Snowman themed paper goods. To keep clean up easy, use these plastic
holiday trays for your buffet servings.
Activities:
You may want to have a "Message to Santa" board for everyone to
sign and for others to read as they enter.
You may also want to have a "build your own eggnog sundae bar"
just for fun. Cookie decorating is fun and they can take the cookies with them
when they leave. Set up different areas in the house for people to go and
do-if they don't want to, they won't. If they do, they'll have a ball!
Favors:
Make it yourself favors at Holiday time are always appreciated. Buy tins
and fill them with Christmas cookies, gingerbread men or brownies; pack
cookies and/or foil-wrapped kisses and bells in cellophane bags and tie-off
with red and green ribbon-or give out glow jewelry and other fun stuff listed
below!
Check our product list below for those extra touches for all of the above parties…
Everything you need this holiday season is available on Party411.com. Take a look!

Discounted Christmas decorations, wearables, paper products and more from Party411.MakesParties
specializing in "wearables."
Decorations

and out, decorating kits, centerpieces and other decoration type stuff you can
use year after year.

Holiday
Favors - What's a party without a goody bag for all the kids…there's
tons of stuff (not to mention red and green Hershey kisses to add to it) that
have a holiday theme--Christmas pencils, stickers, stockings, trolls and
more!!
Gifts
- My mother always taught me to never send a guest home empty-handed. It
doesn't have to be much (it's all how it's wrapped is how I feel about it).
Take a look at our Christmas House Mail Holder, Holiday Sweatshirts, Picture
Frames, Photo Albums, Candles, Bud Vases and more. Buy cello bags and some
great ribbon and go to town! Or how about a 6' holiday stocking or CD of
holiday favorites?
Chanukah!!

David cups, plates, napkins as well as table covers to make your potato latkes
taste even better ('cause you don't have to wash dishes!)… Don't dreidel
around--order today.
