Christmas Carol Costume Party

Tired of the same old holiday party theme? Have your guests get creative AND into the holiday spirit while providing the playlist for your event!

What to do: Inform your guests that they must choose the title of a famous Christmas carol to represent in their attire for the evening. Specify that everyone needs to verify their choice with you so you won't get repeats.

Now it's up to everyone to come up with a unique way to show what carol they are trying to "be."

Some ideas to get you started:

Oh Holy Night - decorate a shirt with a night scene but make sure to add plenty of holes!

Jingle Bell Rock - wear lots of tiny bells and cotton balls sprayed grey to look like rocks

Twelve Days of Christmas - hang a large calendar around your neck with the 12 days leading up to Christmas marked off

Encourage guests to go all out! This could be a great photo-op and it's surprising who will get really into the theme!

Your playlist for the party should include each of the songs your guests have dressed up as. Have everyone write down their best guess as to which song title each person is representing.

The best part about this idea is that it can also be used any time of year - replacing Christmas Carols with the guest's song of choice or another theme to fit the season!

I love this idea! Haven't had a chance to use it, but I totally know what carol I would be!
