Day 2: Plan a Themed Weeknight Gathering

1. Look at your calendar for the next few weeks and pick an open weeknight.
2. Choose a theme for your gathering. The point is to be memorable (we’re here to make holiday memories after all) but keep it casual. We’ve got 5 creative ideas for you. Keep reading.
3. Send free online invitations to 5 friends from Punchbowl.com.
4. No cooking required. Plan to order takeout or add a Potluck List to your invite.

That’s it. To inspire you, here are a few fun holiday party themes & matching online invitations for inspiration.

• Holiday Movie Watch-Party. Get into the seasonal spirit with an old classic or newer holiday movie. Pajamas are highly encouraged! 
  
  
• Flannel & Fizz Night. Gather around a fireplace or an outdoor fire pit (if you can brave the temperatures!) and get cozy with cocktails and plenty of flannel blankets.
  
  
• Holiday Crafting. Ask guests to bring a variety of craft supplies from home. Gather round the table, roll up your sleeves, and make art elementary-school style.
  
  
• Holiday Game Night. Have fun and unwind with a little competition! Gather for a night of Bunco or your favorite board game.
  
  
• Christmas Coffee Hour. Meet up at your favorite cafe for a hot drink and good conversation. Bonus: No need to tidy up the house.
