What’s your favorite 2010 wedding trend?
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
A good friend of mine recently found out that an upcoming wedding she’s in has been moved from June to January! She’s in a whirlwind rush to help the bride finalize all of the details, but she is also facing an even bigger dilemma—although she’s the maid of honor, she lives in Connecticut and the bride lives in California.
Should she plan a last minute bachelorette party and bridal shower from Connecticut? Who else might step in to take over these roles? Is it possible to pull off a perfect last minute shower?
What do you think? Does long distance shower planning make you want to rant or rave?
