What are you wearing to the Ugly Christmas Sweater Party? I remember in the late 80s and early 90s for me when wearing the sweaters with Rudolph or santa especially if that shirt lit up was the thing to have.Fast forward to today and now it’s the thing to do when you are going to an ugly sweater party. Yes you can wear the most obnoxious, loudest, and cliché Christmas sweater and no one is looking at you like you your momma dressed you.
Ugly Sweater Theme and the Not Dressing Up Invitees
Yes these themed Christmas party is super fun and can be enjoyed at work, amongst friends, with couples, or even with the kids. Of course it’s a party so that means food, festive drinks, and fun. If you are the host or hostess than you can go all out. This is the new year of all Christmas parties. All the cliché Christmas tree cakes, eggnog-never forget the egg nog even if you don’t drink it and candy cane lane cookies you want.
If you are the type that has an issue with themed parties why do you go? If it is against your religion that makes sense that you wouldn’t even be there. For those who come just to be a spectator-stay home. This is a time to be creative. I have seen the plain and the most elaborate. Either way, get in there and dress it all the way. Have some fun.
Ugly Christmas Sweater Asks
You can ask participants to come with their A game too. Reward prizes for the best, cutest couple, wackiest sweaters, etc. You can ask participants to bring a dish or a festive drink to share. Just remember that reindeer ears, santa hats are so a must. The purpose is to evoke a space of utopia and let the Christmas spirit spread. This isn’t a party for you if you are by any means a grumpy person or hate laughter, cookies or anything Christmas.
If you have been invited to an ugly Christmas party even if all the food has been provided don’t forget the sweater. It’s such an eye sore when you are looking at pics and someone is wearing just a plain flannel shirt. It’s an ugly sweater party so dress the occasion.
Christmas and Holiday Etiquette
If the host/hostess is providing the food is customary to ask to bring a dessert to share. Regardless if that is declined or not, always bring a bottle to share and one for the host/hostess. In all parties never go empty handed. If the hosts has kids and I am close to those kids I personally bring a small gift for the tree. You don’t have to spend a lot of money. I am talking about Walmart, Dollar Tree, or even Five Below.
So to all my ugly sweater wearers, mbrace it and have the best time. Happy holidays and wear that ugly sweater proud!
