CHRISTMAS BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS FOR INVITATIONS

Remember, to insure a good turnout, plan for the party to be held either 10 days before or after Christmas, otherwise you might be hard-pressed to have everyone you want at the party actually attend.

CANDY CANE INVITATIONS #1 - Cut an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of white textured scrapbook paper using decorative scissors into four pieces. Using red ink, either write in calligraphy or type out the birthday party details. Laminate, hole-punch upper left-hand corner, and thread red and white curling ribbons through the hole. Tie to candy canes, add a fun bow, and either mail or hand-deliver your invites.

CANDY CAND INVITATIONS #2 - Cut large candy cane shapes out of white card stock and affix strips of red card stock to create the stripes. On one side, put, "Join us in celebration of (Name's) Christmas Birthday party." Write or type all of your party details on the reverse side. Mail or hand-deliver your invites.

CHRISTMAS BIRTHDAY PARTY PRESENT INVITATIONS #1 - Print out your invitations on birthday themed scrapbook paper and place it into a Christmas colored envelope. Glue and/or tape ribbons onto the envelope to look like a present.

CHRISTMAS BIRTHDAY PARTY PRESENT INVITATIONS #2 - Cut an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of scrapbook paper into four pieces using decorative scissors. Type or write out your party info. Fold up the invite and insert into a small box that is wrapped in Christmas paper with Happy Birthday ribbons. Hand-deliver invites.

ORNAMENT INVITATIONS - Cut an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of scrapbook paper or card stock into four pieces using decorative scissors. Type or handwrite the party details in calligraphy, laminate, hole-punch, and tie to an ornament with a Happy Birthday ribbon.

SNOWFLAKE INVITATIONS - Make or buy large, glittery snowflakes. Cut an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of red or green card stock into four pieces using decorative scissors. Type or handwrite the party details onto a white doily and glue to the card stock. Hole-punch upper left-hand corner and thread Happy Birthday ribbons through the hole and tie to the snowflake.

GINGERBREAD MEN INVITATIONS - Make or buy gingerbread cookies and decorate them. Cut an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of card stock using decorative scissors into four pieces. Either write in calligraphy or type out the birthday party details. Laminate, hole-punch upper left-hand corner, and thread curling ribbons through the hole.

CHRISTMAS BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS FOR COSTUMES

Invite your guests to wear some fun Christmas-themed costumes, or greet everyone with some fun Santa hats or elf and reindeer ears. If you're in the market to buy a Christmas Costume, here's some great options.

CHRISTMAS BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS FOR DECORATIONS

Any combination of Christmas colors like burgundy and gold, red and green, blue and white, pink and gold, are great options for a Christmas birthday party. All of my suggestions I will reference to red and green, but you can obviously change to whatever colors suit your fancy. Here's some traditional Christmas decorating ideas with a little birthday twist:

• If you have any columns in front of your house, you have the perfect opportunity to turn them into candy canes. If they aren't white, cover them with white butcher paper, fabric, or gossamer, wind 4" to 5" wide red ribbons around them, and voila' you've got candy canes to greet your guests.

• Cover the front door with wrapping paper, bow, and a big birthday greeting card attached.

• Have someone dress up like Santa and greet everyone at the front door with, "Ho! Ho! Ho! Happy Birthday (Name). Come one, come all and join in the birthday celebration."

• Place a sled at the front door with a stuffed Santa or snowman, along with lots of colorful Christmas birthday wrapped packages.

• Create a white Christmas inside with the use of a snowflake machine, which will create realistic snowflakes.

• Create a Winter Wonderland by covering your walls with a fun snowflake background.

• Deck your party room walls and turn them into an instant Christmas scene with a fun Christmas scene setter.

• Use last year's Christmas cards to deck your halls. You can string them on ribbons to create garland and hang them around the ceilings or just affix them to a party room wall to add to the festivities. Periodically add photos of the birthday person at various ages, just to remind everyone that it is a Christmas birthday party.

• If you have a fireplace, create Christmas stockings, except use birthday printed fabrics.

• Hang Christmas wreaths that are decorated with birthday decor on the walls.

• Make a photo collage of the birthday person and turn it into a Christmas tree skirt. Be sure to add "Happy Christmas Birthday (Name) somewhere on the skirt.

• Decorate a Christmas tree with lots of photos of the birthday person. Cut the photos to 3x3 or 4x4 and back them with red or green card stock that is cut slightly larger using decorative scissors. Hole-punch and hang on the tree with red or green ribbons.

• Sprinkle a mixture of Christmas confetti and "Happy Birthday" confetti onto the tabletops.

• Turn your serving, buffet, or dining room table into a Christmas birthday combination. For example, use a disposable tablecloth that says Happy Birthday. Then add red and green plates, cups, napkins, etc.

• Create a table centerpiece using empty boxes wrapped in Christmas paper and topped off with birthday bows and ribbons. Add some teddy bears with Christmas bows tied around their necks. Attach a large bouquet of balloons consisting of Christmas colored helium balloons and birthday Mylar balloons.

• Another centerpiece option is to use a Christmas poinsettia, sugar and glitter fruit with birthday balloons and ribbons attached.

• Another option would be to create a Christmas village in the center of the table and attach birthday balloons to some of the larger pieces.

• Hang white lights in house plants with mini ornaments.

• Hang ornaments from chandeliers.

• Make or buy snowflakes, the kind that are glittery and hang them from your party room ceiling.

• Add clusters of balloons around the party room. Be sure to combine Christmas colored helium balloons with Mylar Happy Birthday balloons.

• Be sure to hang lots of twinkle lights or strands of white lights throughout the party room and let this serve as your party lights.

• Add floating tea candles throughout party room. Just be sure you don't place them where they could be a fire hazard.

• Hang a personalized Christmas birthday banner on one of your walls.

• Be sure to add a yard sign that says Happy Christmas Birthday, along with lots of balloons.

CHRISTMAS BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS FOR FOOD

HORS D'OEUVRE TREE - This is the perfect choice for an edible centerpiece. Cover a Styrofoam cone (the size depends upon how big you want the finished tree to be) with green foil. Cover the foil with parsley or endive using hairpins to secure. To preserve the tree, spray it with water and store in the refrigerator in a plastic bag.

Create your tree decorations. Use toothpicks or hairpins to attach small clusters of grapes, cauliflower and broccoli florets, black and green olives, radish roses, cherry tomatoes, cubes of cheese and ham, and mini cocktail franks.

Bologna Roll-Ups - Blend soft cream cheese, minced onions, dry mustard, and horseradish and spread onto a slice of bologna. Repeat 2 more times and roll them up. Cut into slices and attach the slices to the tree with toothpicks.

Salami Roll-Ups - Blend soft cream cheese and minced chives and spread onto a salami slice. Roll up and attach to the tree with toothpicks.

Olive Rose - Cut deli meat (turkey, roast beef, ham) into 1" strips. Wrap the strips around stuffed olives and attach them to the tree with toothpicks.

Use strong double-stick tape or duct tape to secure the bottom of the decorated tree to an elevated cake plate. Surround the bottom of the tree with slices of lunch meat and cheese.

Serve with dipping sauces.

Curry Mayo - 1-cup mayonnaise, 3 tbsp. milk, 4-5 tsp. curry powder, 1/2 tsp. Tabasco sauce. Combine all the ingredients and chill.

Spicy Catsup - 3/4 cup catsup, 1/2 tsp. prepared horseradish, 2 tbsp. vinegar. Combine all the ingredients and chill.

Sour Cream Mustard Sauce - 1 cup sour cream, 2 tbsp. chopped green onions, 3 tbsp. prepared mustard. Combine all the ingredients and chill.

Teriyaki Sauce - 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1 minced clove of garlic, 1 tbsp. brown sugar, 1/8 tsp. ground ginger, and 1/4 cup sherry. Combine all the ingredients and chill.

Whipped Strawberry Dip - Mix 1 cup of strawberry yogurt and 1 cup of cool whip. Chill.

A buffet is the perfect choice, which allow guests to mingle and sample all of your various delicacies. Here's some suggestions that are always great for not only Christmas parties, but would also serve a Christmas birthday party very well:

MINI MEAT BALLS - Serve these with decorative toothpicks and various sauces.

SHRIMP COCKTAIL - Serve a big platter of shrimp with bowls of cocktail sauce and lemon wedges.

CHICKEN DRUMETTES - Serve with BBQ and teriyaki sauces.

DEVILED EGGS - Serve on a bed of green spinach leaves to give it a festive touch.

MINI CHEESE BALLS - Whip up your favorite recipe. Instead of rolling it all into one big ball, make mini cheese balls, roll in crushed nuts, parsley, etc. and arrange on a large plate in a wreath shape. Put party crackers in the center.

SNOWMAN CRACKERS - Spread cream cheese on round crackers, add olive slices for eyes, and a small piece of carrot for the mouth.

DIPS, CHIPS & NUTS - Onion dip and guacamole are tried and true and always a welcome to parties. Moreover, a party isn't a party without lots of yummy nuts.

FRUIT SKEWERS - Line up cut-up pieces of fruit onto bamboos skewers and serve on a platter.

VEGIE PLATTER - It's always a good idea to serve some healthy food alternatives, along with all of the yummy holiday foods.

WALDORF SALAD - Serve in a decorative glass bowl that is lined with the red/green lettuce leaves.

EGGNOG - Make or buy some eggnog and garnish with nutmeg.

HOT APPLE CIDER - Make your own or buy it ready-made. It's a great addition, especially if you have a roaring fire in the background.


CHRISTMAS BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS FOR BIRTHDAY CAKES

CHRISTMAS TREE BIRTHDAY CAKE - Either use a Christmas tree cake pan or cut a rectangular cake into a tree shape. Frost it green and top it off with various candies to create your decorations. Top it off with a yellow star made from fondant. Add a birthday greeting.

SNOWMAN BIRTHDAY CAKE - Use a snowman pan and follow the directions on the pan, except you'll want to add a birthday greeting.

ORNAMENT BIRTHDAY CAKE - Make a large, one-layer cake and frost it in one color and decorate it with various colored icings to create the look of an ornament. Add a birthday greeting.

CHRISTMAS BIRTHDAY PARTY PRESENT CAKE - Make or buy a square or rectangular cake. Frost it white. Make ornament shapes out of various colored fondant that is decorated with contrasting icing. For example, a red ornament might have yellow dots or lines on it. A green ornament might have red and green dots or lines. Make a big, red fondant bow and place it in the center of the cake. Pipe out the Happy Birthday message onto the bow. Decorate the top and sides of the cake with the ornaments that you have prepared.
