Black and Red and You’re good to go

These are two colors that are just so convenient in the winter months because everyone has them. So if you don’t want your guests to go to too much trouble this is a convenient theme party but can also be a dramatic one. The men will be dressed in their gorgeous tuxedos with a red tie or bow tie and handkerchief and the ladies will add sparkle with their beautiful evening dresses and lots of bling to round things off. Even if you go for a more casual look this theme will be an easy choice for all of your guests.

To Be or Not to Be

Anyone who enjoys a good movie or favorite television series will appreciate this theme. Select your favorite character from Patrick Jane of the Mentalist, James Bond or a Vampire from any one of the more recent productions to dress up as. Whether you decide to go old school from Gone with the Wind or select a more recent character, dressing up is always an event and puts one in a more festive mood. What a great way to get out of your familiar, comfortable, boring habits and do something different for a change.

A Snazzy Way to Entertain

Sometimes it is not easy to come up with a new idea that is practical for entertaining but a cocktail theme party does seem like a good idea. Even if you don’t drink alcohol a cocktail can be made from a variety of ingredients and still be tasty. It probably won’t be a winner amongst your more adventurous guests but it will ensure they remain sober. But try something different this year and invite your guests to come up with the most outrageous cocktail recipe that they can. The criteria for outrageous can be based on taste, color or the kick it provides. As long as it doesn’t taste vile then it is acceptable. Judge on the aesthetic appeal as well. This idea is sure to get your guests into a festive mood and it allows them to become creative, bring their own drinks and do a bunch of taste swaps throughout the evening.

Friends Caring for one another

Unless you are super wealthy it is impossible to purchase gifts for twenty or thirty of your closest friends and family members. Many families actually just confine their gift giving to children. This year however get all your friends together and suggest that everyone purchase a gift of a certain value for the guys and girls. At least this way everyone will receive a wonderful gift to take home with them.

All you need is Bling

Everyone enjoys a bright Christmas filled with the twinkling, sparkling goodies that go along with it. Bling is another way to celebrate the holiday season this year by making yourself, your home and guests dress up as brightly as the can. Somehow shine stands out so much more as it catches and reflects the light so everyone will be bouncing their shiny sparkles back at one another for this theme.
