Create a Welcoming Christmas Party

Christmas party decorating can be a lot of fun and an effective way to create the exact Christmas atmosphere that you want to enjoy. If you’re having guests over, here are some Christmas party decorating ideas you can use to welcome them into your home and invite them to celebrate the holiday season with you.

Get inspired by these warm and welcoming Christmas party decoration ideas to use at your party:

• Candles: Candles create soft lighting and a warm flickering glow that can add a nice touch of ambiance to your setting. Use champagne or silver colored candles to cancel out the gloom and cold outside your door. You can place candles on the table as a centerpiece or light them in place of logs in the fireplace for a modern and elegant look. Scented candles come in many yummy flavors for the holidays such as gingerbread, pumpkin spice, cinnamon berry, or fresh pine, but carefully choose delicate scents that won’t overwhelm your guests.

• Wreaths and Poinsettias: Your garden may appear sparse in the winter, but there are many Christmas party decorations that can bring a natural element indoors. Wreaths made from evergreens, dried flowers, or berries look beautiful hanging over your mantle. Poinsettias with their crimson blossoms and dark green leaves are another traditional Christmas decoration that can add color to your tablescape.

• Share Your Memories: Christmas cards and family photos add some personal character to your other party decorations so display them proudly around the house. Stand them up above the fireplace, rest them on the boughs of your tree, post them on a memo board, or showcase them in baskets placed around the house. For your beautiful holiday eCards, set up your iPad to display holiday greetings.

• Personalized Touches: Small touches such as individual place cards at the table or personalized favors to take home (customized ornaments or wrapped baked treats with a gift tag) will make your guests feel that you thought of them especially. They will feel welcome and remember your kind gesture.

Remember to focus on comfort at your Christmas party. Play favorite holiday carols and songs in the background to create a relaxed and cheery atmosphere. Your home does not need to be perfectly clean, but rather cozy and inviting. The wonderful Christmas atmosphere that you create will be sure to bring the holiday spirit to life.
