Ideas for Themed Christmas Parties

Looking to do something fun and different with your annual Christmas party this year? Read up on party Web sites to find Christmas party themes that have worked for others. The ideas can be inspiring. Themed invitations set the mood for your unique holiday party. From there, the options are endless. From the "Christmas in Scotland" party in which the hosts asked everyone to come in 18th century Scottish costumes and dance to a traditional Scottish band to a "Christmas Under the Sea" party in which the bar was decorated as a giant clam, the Christmas tree in seaweed and shells and a Calypso band encouraged quests to dance the night away island-style. How about a Victorian dessert Christmas party in which guests show up in Victorian costumes, the house is decorated in candles and burgundy velvet and guests each bring a savory dessert to share? These are all ideas that worked famously for some people. Don't be afraid to copy their creativity! The ideas are endless (and not necessarily expensive) if you have the energy, time and motivation to pull them off.
