You need to invite guests, choose a venue, and plan your food and entertainment. Of course, you\u2019ll also want to hold an ugly Christmas sweater contest. Here\u2019s a quick <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/party-planning\">party planning checklist<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to kick things off.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Choose a Date and Time<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Most Christmas parties take place before December 25, but feel free to choose a date that best fits your schedule. An evening affair is most common, but host a brunch if that\u2019s more your speed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Choose a Venue<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Once you know when you want to host the ugly sweater party, it\u2019s time to pick a venue. You can have the event at your home, a friend\u2019s house, or a local brewery or restaurant. One benefit of choosing a public space is that you won\u2019t have to spend so much on decorations since it\u2019s already likely to be decked out for the holidays.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Make a Guest List and Send Invitations<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Figure out who you want to invite and choose a fun invitation that matches the theme. Send invites three to six weeks in advance and set an RSVP deadline. With Greenvelope, you can customize any <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/designs\/christmas-cards\">Christmas card<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/designs\/entertaining-invitations\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>entertaining invitation<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to suit your celebration.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Plan the Menu<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Ugly sweater parties are fun and festive and your menu should be no exception. Whether you serve a full meal or stick to appetizers and snacks, there are many <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myrecipes.com\/holidays-and-occasions\/christmas-recipes\/ugly-christmas-sweater-party-appetizers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">different foods you can make for your ugly sweater party<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, including Santa truffles and Christmas Lights Bark.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Arrange Entertainment<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Keep the fun going all night long by playing Christmas movies, singing Christmas carols, and making Christmas crafts. You can have an ugly sweater-making party where everyone designs their own ugly sweater and wears their creation the rest of the night. Other <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/christmas-party-games\">Christmas party games<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> like a candy cane hunt and holiday party charades will also keep the fun going.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Decorate the Space<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Set the scene by selecting bright and funny decor to match your ugly sweater ideas. Hang ugly cardigans around the room and use neon red and green decorations to brighten up the space.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>8 Ugly Sweater Ideas for Your Next Christmas Party<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13329\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/couple-dancing-at-home.jpeg\" alt=\"Ugly sweater party ideas: couple dancing at home\" width=\"850\" height=\"452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/couple-dancing-at-home.jpeg 850w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/couple-dancing-at-home-300x160.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/couple-dancing-at-home-768x408.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For your Christmas sweater party, you can make your own or buy one online.
