Add a Fun Twist to Classic Holiday Parties

Katie — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 21:09:24 +0000

I love holiday party season, but after your fourth straight year of attending the same silly sweater party, things can start to feel a little stale. If you’re looking for a fresh new way to give your holiday party a fun twist, try out some of these ideas for unique and super chic holiday party inspiration!

Refined Retro

Like the classic Santa on holiday Coke bottles, there’s something fitting about blending holiday style with retro charm. Give your holiday party a vintage twist for a festive fete that’s sure to be fabulous.

Creative Displays

Giving your holiday party a lift can be as easy as freshening up your presentation. I love the idea of serving cupcakes on upside-down cupcake pans, or adding lollipops to cocktails for a burst of fun color.

Alternative Entertainment

Who says you have to play charades? Transform your nutcracker party into a trip to see the ballet performed nearby, with cocktails after the curtain goes down. You could also have a casual showing of your favorite holiday movies or attend a local choir performance.

Foodie Fun

Make your event easier (and more fun for guests!) but organizing a potluck. You can also consider hosting a brunch, afternoon cocoa & cocktails party or evening wine & dessert party to have a little fun with your food choices for the festivities.

Invitations to Match

Retro Chic: Seasonal Splash Holiday Party Invitations

Engagement Photo Props

I love the rustic charm of this elegant photo shoot from Photorange Photography. Kylee and Austin used simple props to transform the shoot from cute and sweet to chic and charming as well.

I absolutely adore the chalkboard “Love” sign and think it would be the perfect motif for a multi-photo save the date card like this one from Wedding Paper Divas:

Alice in Wonderland-Inspired Wedding Stationery

Lewis Carroll’s classic story about Alice’s adventures once she tumbles down the rabbit hole always seems to inspire winsome weddings full of tea parties, red roses and sweet, whimsical style.

Maybe it’s the creative imagery and pure magic of the story that everyone loves so much, or maybe the idea of letting yourself fall into a new life full of adventure that makes it perfect for a wedding.
