Finding a Theme

Make it an “Ugly Christmas Sweater Soiree” or “Holiday Themed Food Potluck”. The themes are endless! You can have a “Mistletoe & Margaritas” party for a small cocktail event. Dress as elves or all in red for a large Christmas party. Do it in style and make it fun! Here are a few inspiration pictures that got us going and thinking about what would be the best theme for this year.
