Hi! Alli Roth here from Partyography By Alli<\/a> and I\u2019m so excited to share this Happy Holidays party that I styled. I just LOVE this time of year and there is so much to celebrate! Maybe it\u2019s living in the desert and\/or all of the Hallmark Christmas movies I\u2019ve been watching, but a winter wonderland is all I want for Christmas! My four-year-old niece is convinced that it is going to snow this year so I channeled all of that hope into this children\u2019s party inspired by the Rustic Holiday collection from Anders Ruff<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Some of my favorite details from this celebration are:
\n– The Happy Holidays banner with kraft paper backing
\n– The trees and greenery covered in \u201csnow\u201d
\n– The hot cocoa ornaments hanging on the tree
\n– The miniature kraft gable boxes filled with ready-to-decorate ornaments
\n– The place settings nestled in the pine garland<\/p>\n

Kicking off this party is the \u201cHappy Holidays\u201d banner from the Anders Ruff Rustic Holiday collection. I added a kraft paper backing to tie in the neutral colors from the printable collection and used red and white twine to give it another pop of color.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I love a good dessert table but when it comes to kids parties, I like to keep it simple. I usually stick to two or three sugary treats and try to decorate the table by incorporating the party favors.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For this celebration I made a white vanilla cake from a box mix. To dress up the cake and go along with the printables, I added a \u201cMerry Christmas\u201d topper from Michaels that I painted red. I also covered the cake in white sugar sprinkles to act as snow.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To bring in more color, I used red ceramic bowls, also from Michaels, and filled them with white chocolate covered pretzels decorated in festive sprinkles and holiday colored hard candy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For the first party favor I made hot chocolate ornaments. They\u2019re plastic ball ornaments from Michaels that I filled with hot cocoa powder, sprinkles and marshmallows. I used the gift hang tags from the Anders Ruff printable collection to give them some holiday cheer, and hung them on the tree like normal ornaments as a fun and festive way to dress up the party.

<\/p>\n

For the other take home party favor, I created ready-to-decorate ornament boxes. I filled each miniature kraft gable box with a white laser cut snowflake, glitter, sparkly pom-poms, and a glue tube for each child\u2019s own crafting. I always think it\u2019s special to send the kids home with something they can keep, so their own personalized ornament definitely does the job. I also added the \u201cBe Merry This Christmas Season\u201d gift hangtags from the printable collection to give them a more personalized touch.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I absolutely loved the trees, greenery and deer details from the Rustic holiday printable collection so to incorporate those details into the dessert table, I added a snow flocked green garland and 2 white deer. Dasher and Prancer didn\u2019t want to miss out on this party! I used the flat party labels to make sure people could tell them apart and I also used those labels for the reindeer snacks and on the hot cocoa tree.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To coordinate the kid\u2019s table with the dessert table, I added another snow covered tree and wintery garland. I made ornaments out of the printable party logos by adding kraft paper backing and twine to each circle. I also added a \u201cHappy Holidays\u201d laser cut wooden piece, which I again painted red, and used it to act as my tree topper.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To indicate place settings I used the folding party labels from the printable collection. I customized them with each child\u2019s name and used a toothpick to stand them in the garland in front of each place setting.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For tableware I used plain red plates from Party City and kraft dessert scalloped plates from Meri Meri. I love dressing up wooden cutlery so I wrapped the snowflake party flags from the Anders Ruff printable collection and kraft paper around the cutlery to give them some character. I also used the \u201cMerry Christmas\u201d party flags from the printable collection to add holiday cheer to the milk bottles. I wrapped the flags over red and white chevron washi tape to tie in the details from the printables and also to make clean up easy. After the party you can just peel off the washi tape and they\u2019re ready to be reused for your next party. I found the kraft polka dot straws at Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

I loved creating this winter wonderland celebration; it\u2019s definitely an escape for those of us who may not get a White Christmas. I hope it gives you some inspiration for the holidays and you all have a wonderful holiday season!<\/p>\n
