bringing you great recipes and tips at no extra cost to you.

First, let's look at a little history. Christmas Sweaters were popular gifts in the 80's (my generation) they quickly became something to laugh at when people wore them in the 90's. It was mostly for old women and men. Then it became kitschy to wear an ugly Christmas sweater.  People started flocking to thrift stores to find them and the Ugly Christmas Sweater Party was born. Ugly Christmas Sweater Party's are a complete contest to see who can outdo each other whether you buy an ugly sweater or DIY your own.

Ugly Christmas Sweater Party Ideas for Decorations

 

I can't wait to throw my Christmas party with these awesome ugly sweater Christmas party Ideas for every budget!First thing on the list is an awesome invitation, this sets the tone for your party. No matter the budget here are a few ways to get a great invite. You can send an email invite, design your own, buy a nice  Ugly Christmas Sweater Party Invitation or download a freebie Ugly Sweater Invitation.

Set up a photo booth. You can simply buy a $1 plastic tablecloth in red or green, use a sheet, or get an inexpensive themed backdrop. We usually set out an Ipad for people to use or if you want to go retro buy one of these new Fuji Instax Cameras and prop up a cork board for everyone to pin their pictures to during the night.  If you want to use your Christmas photo booth props for more than an ugly sweater party then get these Traditional Christmas Photo Booth Props or if you want to stick with your theme these fun Ugly Christmas Sweater Photo Props are perfect.

We usually stick with tacky and serve beer in cans. I always keep koozies on hand for parties and backyard bbq's in the summer but these Ugly Christmas Sweater Koozies are a must have for me. Just be sure to grab them from your friends before they walk out the door with them. If you want to dress up utensils, water bottles or a take home treat with these ugly sweater wraps are an inexpensive yet custom look to add to the party.

Don't forget to load up with fun Ugly Sweater Napkins and paper goods for your buffet. We usually ask everyone to bring a favorite appetizer to share. I always like to make my Slow Cooker Meatball Sub Sliders for something a little more substantial but when I make this Baked Fontina Garlic Cheese Dip it's gone in minutes.

Make sure to have an ugly sweater contest and let your friends vote on the best Ugly Sweater. Here are a few suggestions or you can make up your own.

  • All-Around UGLY Sweater
  • Most Original
  • Best Couple Combo
  • Raciest Sweater

Have prizes for your winners like these fun Ugly Sweater Trophies, or if you want something a little nicer these Personalized Holiday Cookie Gift Jars are great. If you want to make some of the categories worth a little more get these  fun ugly sweaters for a bottle of wine.
