How to Throw a Pink Christmas Party

1. Deck the Halls with Pretty Pink Decorations

Pink Christmas decorations are all the rave these days so you should have no trouble finding plenty of goodies! To turn your space into a pink paradise, gather plenty of pink tinsel garland to string across doorways and drape from the ceiling. Things that are both sparkly/metallic and pink will do the job. It’s easy to get a little excited and go all out while shopping for pink Christmas party décor, but you can usually find inexpensive party supplies if you know where to look. Have fun with the decorating process!

Here are some perfectly pink Christmas party decorations you’ll want to check out:

• Pink, red and white felt candy canes
• Pink snowflakes
• Glittery pink Christmas tree paper straws
• Felt Christmas light garland
• Plastic pink Christmas cups
• Pink faux Christmas sprinkles
• I’m Dreaming of a Pink Christmas small wooden sign
• Various decorative pink Christmas signs
• Wooden pink Christmas presents

2. Prepare Pink Refreshments

Peppermint is the perfect pink holiday flavor! Whether you fix the peppermint drinks found below or whether you just buy a tub of peppermint stick ice cream, you won’t go wrong with this classic holiday treat. Of course, make sure there are at least a few healthy/non-sweet dishes for guests to enjoy. Whether you provide a meal or just appetizers is up to you, but if you’re serving lighter fare, a cheese plate is usually a winner, as well as basic snacks like pita chips and hummus, a deli board, and other staples. A strawberry salad with strawberry vinaigrette dressing will surely be a refreshing respite from all the heavier holiday dishes people serve this time of year. And strawberries are almost pink! But for sweets and bevvies, you have plenty of pink options at hand. Here are some sweet treats, drinks and cocktails – all in pink:

• Pink sugar cookies
• Pink iced cookies
• Vegan candy cane smoothie
• Pink peppermint eggnog milkshake
• Pink peppermint Russian
• Jingle Juice Holiday Punch

3. Set the Ambience with the Perfect ‘Pink’ Playlist or Video

Play some light-hearted holiday background music such as this magical winter music playlist with cute Christmas-y accompanying visuals. Or play jazzy instrumental Christmas carols for a spirited, playful piano rendition of favourite holiday songs. In fact, any Christmas music will set a happy atmosphere so long as it isn’t dramatic or sleepy (think Winter Wonderland, not Ave Maria)! But for an ultimate pink Christmas party anthem, play this cute Pink Christmas music video by Tori V.

4. Add Pink Peppermint Scents

We covered the sights, the flavors, and the sounds of a pink Christmas party. Now, consider the scents! Lighting pink peppermint candles will evoke that classic, Christmas candy nostalgia.

5. Plan Pink Christmas Party Games

6. Establish Guest Participation

Guest participation is optional and involves requesting that your guests bring or do something to contribute to the party. For a pink Christmas party, it only seems fitting to invite guests to wear pink! Bonus points if they wear something that is both Christmassy and pink.

Checklist of Preparations for Your Pink Christmas Party

1. First, establish that your efforts aren’t in vain by confirming that people can come on any chosen date:

1. Choose party date/time, and preferably alternative date(s) as well. December is a busy time of year when people travel, host, or participate in any number of events. You’ll want to first choose several options for days you can host, and then get a feel for everyone’s availability well in advance.
2. Choose guest list and establish minimum number of guests you’d like (to make it worth your effort)
3. Six weeks out, confirm guests’ interest in the party and availability on chosen party date(s)
4. If your preferred minimum number of guests confirm interest and availability, have them secure calendar date for your pink Christmas party!

2. Then, proceed with the fun planning!

1. Schedule time on your calendar for each step of party prep (securing and/or making food/drinks, etc.)
2. Create invitations with all the details and send them out 4 weeks before the party
3. Order any party supplies and decorations 3 weeks out (so they arrive in time to prepare and set up)
4. Shop for any party supplies/decorations you don’t order online, as well as non-perishable food/drinks
5. In your planned time slots, acquire perishable food/drinks early enough in advance to prepare in time
6. In your planned time slots, set up/decorate with any supplies and decorations
7. In your planned time slots, prepare food/drinks (depending on how long things keep)

3. Day of Party (in your amply planned time slot):

1. Complete any last-minute food/drink prep that’s too fresh to do any earlier
2. Set up any quick/easy last-minute supplies and decorations you didn’t want up before
3. Prepare ambience (music, scented candles)
4. Get dressed in your pink Christmas party outfit
5. Once everything’s ready, do your preferred self-care to get in a good head space if you aren’t already. You want to feel upbeat and excited to celebrate with friends and indulge in all things pink Christmas!
