If you search for bowtie christmas party games on google or yahoo you should get to a bowtieproducts site that will give you 4 new original games that will help make your nite fun.

Some of the games especially Sandys Christmas Carol game can be adjusted for nearly any age 8 and up.

For parties mixers like this work because they give folks something to do while they get warmed up to each other. if they want to talk, they can talk, but if conversatrion lags games like these take up the awkward silences that many of us dread.

Whats nice is that people don't all have to be in it to enjoy it. Some can just help out if asked or enjoy the groans of the answer section.

I hope they work out well for you

I find that I can easily prepare food and drink for a party, but once it is in motion, it can be stressful trying to entertain everybody. If you can handle it financially, I suggest making this arrangement with your guests: you will provide all the food and beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) they need. Even if the party is at night, have some food that is actually filling. Chips are great, but a little real food keeps people partying longer. For drinks, try to have a good selection so everyone can get what they like. Or you can have two or three options that should come close to satisfying everyone: beer, wine and one cocktail, premixed if you like. Also have pop, juice or virgin cocktails available for non-drinkers. BUT, in return for your hospitality, your guests have to prepare some kind of entertainment. They can come prepared to lead charades, a drinking game, have a couple of good mixed Cd's, etc. (You should have a couple of back-up options just in case.) You can let events unfold as they will, or draw names from a hat to see whose turn it is to lead the show. I find this makes party-planning simple and actually lets you enjoy your own party. Cheers and good luck! Happy New Year!

Answer 7

Hi Tisa

I threw a Christmas party last year, so here's my input:

FOOD: You're gonna want it simple as you'll be run off your feet with party plans. Serve buffet food: Sausage Rolls, Cocktail Sausages, Chips and salsa, Onion rings, wedges and dips, garlic bread, Prawn Skewers, profiteroles. Basically you don't want anything you'll have to cut, butter etc. Go to a frozen foods store and see what they have.

DECORATION: The house will be decorated i'd assume as christmas will be approaching. Just make sure you use red/gold/white napkins, under the food.

DRINK: Why not make a punch? You could call it Prancer's Punch? I personally put a drinks list I made on the wall so people could tell me what to get them to drink, I had "Rudolph Rum and Coke, Winter Wonderland Whisky on Ice, Snowman Scotch, Hollyberry Beer, etc."

GIFTS: If you dont wanna do giftbag (as this can cause costs to run out of control) you could get a red ribbon and thread a label through it and write on the label "Merry Xmas, Love Tisa and Family" then tie the ribbon in a bow around a candy cane and hand then out to guests as they leave.

Our church presented “A Night in Bethlehem,” complete with Middle Eastern food that was eaten by costumed church members who sat on blankets on the floor.

If your church is desperate for an alternative to the sit-down ham dinner, do “A Night in Bethlehem.” It’s easier to put on than a standard dinner, it’s far less expensive to host than a standard dinner, and — most important — it’s infinitely more meaningful than the traditional dinner-Santa combo.

We were amazed at how well our church came together to host the event. We gave members the option of dressing in costume or wearing street clothes and were stunned to see how many people opted for the costumes. Most of us opted for bathrobes, but some of the costumes were authentic. The unusual attire added to the excitement of the evening.

**A costumed vendor “sells” dried fruits and olives, which were part of the dinner.

There was something inspiring about eating the same foods at our church Christmas program that the Savior would have eaten. Church members who had never tasted pita and hummus were pleasantly surprised that the foreign food was not only edible, but even good enough that they went back for seconds. We may be accustomed to more traditional dinners, but it’s hard to identify with the Savior and his life when you’re sitting at the table using a knife and fork to cut the fat off a piece of ham.

**Fatima’s Pitas was a popular dinner destination.

Even our water was “drawn” from the local well. Every effort was made to recreate Bethlehem — insofar as it is possible to recreate Bethlehem under the shadow our church recreation hall.

The keepers of the well made sure not to allow animals to pollute the water.

The evening ended as every Christmas party should end — not with Santa, but with a reenactment of the Christmas story. Even the die-hards in our church who had insisted on having Santa at every year’s Christmas party freely admitted at the evening’s end that nobody missed him once he was gone. Without exception, the people who attended the Christmas party said it was the best one our church had ever seen.
