The earlier your friends start to feel the magical spirit of Christmas, the better.Do not fear offering a few suggestions on outfits for guests to wear.Most people may get stuck in the rut of Santa, elves, reindeer and other folks you might find in Santa's workshop.There are lots of different costumes they can try such as snowmen and snowwomen, candy canes, gingerbread girls or boys, menorahs, Christmas trees and even sexy outfits with holiday lights on the skirts.You can also encourage couples to arrive in matching costumes.Some good examples are matching gift boxes and Rudolph and Vixen reindeer.Adorning your home with Christmas decorations is only the beginning of how to set the mood for your party.Play a DVD of an animated Christmas movie on your television or computer, and let it run on a loop throughout the evening.Create a playlist of classic Christmas songs sung by your favorite bands and musical artists to play in the background of your party as guests mingle.You can even create an entire dance mix of up-tempo Christmas songs and remixes, if you think a dance party suits your guest list.A fun activity for a party where your guests arrive in costume is a holiday photo sitting scene.This is a fun and casual take on family holiday photos taken in department stores.This gives everyone an opportunity to remember the party and show off their holiday outfits at the same time.All you need is a backdrop, some holiday decorations, a chair or two and a camera.For your backdrop you can use a clean, solid color or holiday-themed sheet.Tape the sheet to the top of a wall, and hide the tape with holiday decorations like plastic holly or a colorful garland.Set up your camera on a tripod where someone can press the shutter button or put it on a bookshelf and use the camera's timer setting.Then, place a couple of chairs and holiday decorations such as a tiny Christmas tree or stuffed snowmen in view of the camera.Encourage your guests to pose with the decorations or their favorite drink in a holiday mug.This activity can go on throughout the evening without disrupting the rest of the party.
