We all need a good laugh and a dose of holiday cheer, especially this year! Why not throw a Buddy The Elf Ugly Sweater Party?!
I’ve partnered with Oriental Trading, which has everything you need to throw a fun party, including kits for an Elf and Ugly Sweater Party, that make your decorating and entertaining easy! Plus it’s a theme that children and adults can both enjoy!
SANTA! I KNOW HIM! The large cardboard cutout of Buddy was my starting point in the planning process because kids and adults a like love him. It’s a fun decor piece that also doubles as a spot for guests to take their photo. Last year we told our girls that their Elf on Shelf brought Buddy with them one night from the North Pole. They were so excited!
SANTA’S COMING! Buddy The Elf Tableware Kit has everything you need for your tabletop from paper plates, napkins, to paper cups. Each place setting had elf ears and a jingle bell that came with the Elf Kit. Shop your home for a white table linen and add this red satin table runner and top it with the snowflake table runner.
The Ugly Sweater Kit comes with fun tabletop decor that’s red and green that makes great centerpieces. Add New York City Taxi Cab Favor Boxes to your tablescape, which also doubles as a keepsake for guests to store all their goodies to take home.
SON OF A NUTCRACKER! If you’ve seen the Elf movie than you know Buddy loves to make snowflakes. I found a variety of snowflakes from snowflake garland, tissue paper snowflakes, to giant snowflakes and hung them from the ceiling and chandelier. The red and green paper decor from the Ugly Sweater Party Kit was a perfect mix with added green tissue balls.
THE BEST WAY TO SPREAD CHRISTMAS CHEER IS SINGING LOUD FOR ALL TO HEAR: Decorate your Christmas Tree the way Buddy would do it with lots of snowflakes, Elf/Santa hats, and Christmas Pom Pom Trim! Add some green and red ornaments with stars.
STICK TO THE MAIN FOUR FOOD GROUPS: Buddy loved candy, candy canes, candy corns, and syrup. We kept our dessert bar simple with red and green candy canes, red and green chocolate M&Ms that say HoHo and have Santa hats on them, Reese Peanut Butter Christmas Trees, popcorn with M&Ms displayed in Mini Striped Popcorn Boxes, Christmas Tree Swirl Lollipops, and Maple Syrup.
I JUST LIKE TO SMILE, SMILING IS MY FAVORITE! Buddy loves games, and this Holiday Find The Elf Game is a hit!
Don’t forget to have an ugly sweater contest. The Ugly Sweater Kit comes with ugly sweater prize stickers. Christmas Snow Glitter Globe Craft Kit is a great activity for any age and also adds a whimsical decor element to your tablescape. Guests can also decorate their own Elf/Santa hat that comes with Elf Kit. We used these Assorted Colors Jewel Glitter Pens.
Don’t forget about a hot chocolate and drink bar! We’ll show you later this week how we used the fun and colorful cups and cozies from the Ugly Sweater Party Kit to create our drink bar cart!
