The holiday's are just around the corner!

Get inspired with these adorable holiday party ideas.



Invitations
What better way to announce your holiday celebration than with these customizable party invitations. Feature your family portrait, the party details and rsvp information, and a warm holiday greeting.



Theme
With the holiday season, you can choose many themes. Whether you celebrate Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa or you are a big fan of Santa, there are plenty of fun ways to enhance your atmosphere based on the theme of your choosing.

Music
It's not a party without some great music. Here are a few of some great holiday party soundtracks:

Hanukkah – http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Hanuk...394253&sr=8-13

Christmas – http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Lounge-C...4394398&sr=1-5

Kwanzaa – http://www.amazon.com/Kwanzaa-Party-...4394359&sr=1-1

If you really want to step it up, add a karaoke machine and let your guests serenade the night away. :)

Drinks
Nothing beats some cold egg nog, but you can also serve some hot chocolate with a stick of peppermint for a fun drink to keep your guests warm.

Food
Have a potluck dinner or keep things light with a few hors d'oevres like shrimp cocktail, a cheese platter, mini sandwhiches or pinwheel wraps.

Treats
A spice cake is a wonderful holiday treat to offer your guests. You can also make a delightful candy table with jars of candy canes, ribbon candy, fudge, peppermint bark and peanut brittle. Add a gingerbread house for a whimsical finishing touch.

Activities
If your party is family friendly, create a fun craft area for kids to color, decorate gingerbread cookies or play a holiday-themed games.

For the adults and children alike, a gift exchange is a great ice breaker to get the party going.

Favors
Offer your guests a parting gift of a scented candle, mini stocking full of treats, or a hand lotion or soap in a holiday scent like peppermint, cinnamon or pine.
