IDEAS FOR UGLY SWEATER PARTY

Here are some super simple tips to whip up a fun Christmas party theme that's SO simple to put together.

  • To make it easy, send out ugly sweater party invitations asking your guests to bring their own plain sweater or sweatshirt or if you live somewhere warm.... a plain T-shirt is totally good too.
  • Set out a variety of decorations on a table where guests can pick and choose their own ugly sweater decorations. There are easy DIY Ugly Sweater kits you can buy like I did to make it easy. You can also provide your own decor like tinsel, stickers and other goofy items. Don't forget Christmas gift bows and anything that jingles for added laughter. You should probably decide if you are going to add decorations that are permanent or temporary and let guests know in the invites. I provided all temporary options at my gathering. Both ideas can be fun in their own way.

  • Add easy Ugly Sweater Decorations to set the scene. There's a cute banner that comes in the DIY Ugly Sweater Kit that I mentioned that reads "Let's Get Ugly" or you can also get some cool letter balloons that read "Ugly & Bright" from Etsy. I'm totally obsessed. Check my list of must-haves below to get the links to all of these party supplies.
  • Set out totally goofy accessories like a variety of Christmas themed costume glasses or maybe some fun hats and scarves, too.

I want to thank my family for being super awesome and agreeing to come to my test party way back at the beginning of November. I just have to love them for that. We had a lot of fun and laughs and I can't wait to do something like this again. If your friends and family have a great sense of humor, they are going to LOVE having over-the-top fun with this party theme.
