Every year it seems that people enjoy getting more and more creative with their parities, even for holidays. People enjoy bringing different themes into the mix to help break away from the ordinary and to keep things interesting. People have been coming up with their own unique ides, and there’s no reason you can’t come up with some of your own. Here are a few tips, tricks, and hints you can use when throwing a themed holiday party of your own.

Picking a Theme

The holiday’s calls for decorating your house with trimmings of the season, which help people, feel welcome and merry. Unique ideas make your house your own, and show everyone your personality. Coming up with different and non-traditional ways to decorate for the holidays will really show that you are able to be festive with your own twist.

One way of decorating that can really make an impact is going old-fashioned. Time periods from the 1800’s to about the 1950’s were full or beautiful candles, lush fabrics, and classy colors. Creating to a throwback to a bygone time creates a nostalgic feeling that being around family can enhance. In contrast to today’s widespread brighter red and green, and old-fashioned Christmas will feature many metallics and deeper, richer colors that feel comfortable and inviting.

Christmas is around the Corner

“I’m dreaming of a white Christmas, just like the ones I used to know.” Everyone is so excited. It is that time of the year again when we can all take a break and relax and plan a few special functions for those closest to us. And nothing says classy quite like white does. Plan a white Christmas for your friends from the invitations to the decor to put everyone in that mood. Send out your invitations in a white beaded box with white chocolates inside and in line with your theme request your guests to write their own Christmas songs this year and share them around your home fire.

Hats Off to You

People are always looking for simple fun ideas to spruce up their holidays and the ugliest Christmas hat party is one way to do that. There is little fuss or expense involved but the memories of the ugliest hat party can be captured on camera or video and be enjoyed for years to come.  Whether you have a dig around in the attic or pay dear Aunt Mel a visit to borrow a hat, get it wherever you can. Buy it from an antique store or the local market and dress it up or down. Make it bright and shiny or just plain crazy. The more laughs and merriment you can generate the better.

The Brighter the Better

During those cold and dreary winter days what could be better than a Christmas party with a Cirque de Soleil theme! The thoughts of all those brightly dressed acrobats, dancers and other entertainers from this spectacular show just get the creative juices flowing. Of course if you are a good performer and can entertain at your party this is even better. Make sure that you are the best dressed for the occasion and stand out from your guests. The brighter you are the better your chances will be of doing just that. The sun is bright so you may turn your party into a yellow only theme but that could just defeat the purpose. For this theme the more variety there is the more fun you will have.
