FABULOUS Christmas Party Invite Idea

 Cookies with Santa 

DIY Holiday Party Invitations



Its that time again where tinsel hangs from the tree, holiday cheer is in the air and holiday parties are underway.  Here is a fabulous idea that I do every year that can easily be done with very little moolah!!!

How to Throw a SANTA Claus ho-ho-ho-down!!


First... Book your Santa !!!  - Choose a willing Santa Claus to play the part. 
Rent a Costume or Purchase at Any local Costume Shop

***Central Illinoisians****

A great Place to Rent a Regal Santa Claus Costume is at 



Decide Date and Time 


Theme

For example:

COOKIES with Santa

"Put on Your Pajamas
And Settle In 
Santa Is Making a Stop at 
The JOHNSON's Home Again."


Make it fun and Have the Kids come in Fun Holiday Pajamas

Pajamas Can Be Purchased Through Websites like PajamaGram.com

Or Places like the Company Store


ADD A Special Note FOR PARENTS:  

Ask Parents to Secretly Bring One Labeled Wrapped Present Per Each Child to be Given to Your Child From Santa 







Don't over DO it!!! Keep it Simple and Follow Theme 

Ask Parents to Partake in a Cookie Exchange by providing a Dozen Homemade Cookies

*Which Saves you on Preparing a Bunch of Food and Snacks*
*Provides a Fun Conversation Between Parents to Talk about Cookie Recipes*
*Great Take Away from Party*

Provide Cookie Boxes





Provide Snack Table for Kids
Great Ideas on Pinterest for Finger Snacks for Kids

Provide a Cookie Plate for Kids and Milk Drinks with Fun Festive Straws 


Provide Entertainment for Kids 


Great Games for Holiday Parties 

I love The Night Before Christmas Musical Chairs Idea
