May no gift be too small to give, nor too simple to receive, which is wrapped in thoughtfulness and tied with love. ~ L.O. Baird

Welcome to our Christmas Party Ideas page.
Christmas is a special time of year when we remember events of over 2000
years ago, spend time with family and friends, and sometimes get fraught
about everything we're supposed to do.
Here's some ideas if you're organising a children's party whether for your
class group, church kids or family and friends this festive season:-
Christmas Party Invitations For Children
Have you run out of cool ideas for Christmas party invitations your child can
send to his/her friends? Here are some fresh ideas you and your child might
enjoy.
Christmas Party Invitation In A Bottle
Materials: one small, plastic water bottle for each invitation, holiday stickers,
one first class stamp for each bottle, plain white labels, return address labels,
confetti (Xmas themed), red paper, felt pens, one wrapped, candy stick per
bottle, small plastic items related to Xmas that are small enough to fit through
the neck of the bottle.
Wash the bottles and let them dry. Create your party invitation on the red
paper or on a computer. It should be no wider than the bottle is tall. Fill the
bottle 1/3 full of Xmas confetti. Put in several plastic Xmas items if you have
them.
Wrap your invitation around the candy stick and slip them into the bottle. Put
on the bottle top. Put a stamp on the bottle. Put your return address label
on it. Write your guest’s name and address on a white label and stick it on
the bottle.
Put on a few Xmas stickers. When the bottle moves, the confetti and plastic
items will swirl around; they’re supposed to. The bottles may be sent through
the regular mail to your guests.
Christmas Party Invitation From A Grocery Bag
Materials: brown, grocery bags (one per invitation), pencil, scissors, pinking
shears, hole punch, fat, red yarn, old holiday cards or pictures cut from
magazines, glue, crayons or poster paints, black felt pen, pencil, white paper,
computer (optional), party favors (see instructions for suggestions).
These invitations are hand-deliverable only, because of their size. Acquire
one brown, paper grocery bag for each invitation. The bag is going to be a
Christmas stocking -shaped. Draw a stocking shape on the bag (the adult
should probably do this).
Use pinking shears to cut out the stocking, giving it a scalloped edge. You
will have two pieces. Use a hole punch and punch holes all around the
stocking, except for the top. The holes should be two inches apart, about 1”
from the edges.
Using fat, red yarn, “sew” the two pieces together, weaving in and out of the
holes. Tie the thread at the beginning and end. Decorate the bag with
holiday pictures from old Christmas cards or magazines or draw snowmen,
bells, stars, trees, presents, etc. with crayons or paint.
Put the guest’s name on the “stocking” with the felt pen. Inside the “stocking”
put your invitation, written on paper or created on your computer. Also put in
a couple of party favors such as: crayons, a holiday cookie (wrapped in
plastic), a lollipop, your picture, or a favor from a party store (plastic ring,
etc.).
Be sure your favors can’t fall out.
Try these unusual Christmas party invitations for children and see the
reactions you get!

gift ideas for Christmas 2005.
