You could have a cookie decorating station with Christmas-themed shapes. Also, have everyone come dressed as characters from the story.
For a 1920s themed party, a wife could wear a flapper dress. It was a symbol of the women's liberation movement of that era. The dress is usually short, with lots of fringe and beading, and paired with a long string of pearls and a headband with a feather.
You could go for classic Christmas treats like gingerbread cookies and mince pies. They always add to the festive feel.
Well, for decorations, you could have a pumpkin carriage centerpiece and a castle backdrop. And for costumes, encourage guests to go for unique interpretations, like a punk-rock Cinderella or a steampunk prince.
A creative idea could be to turn it into a musical. The characters break into song to express their joys, fears and hopes. For example, Mary could sing a beautiful aria when she realizes she is pregnant. Another idea is to make it a sci - fi version. The manger could be a spaceship and the star could be a guiding alien light leading the 'wise men' who are actually intergalactic travelers.
A video of you opening your Christmas presents would be great. Capture the excitement on your face as you unwrap the gifts. Then, you can use the text tool on IG story to thank the people who gave you the presents.
You could go as Ralphie in his pajamas and bathrobe. It's simple but recognizable.
How about setting up a fake snowfall and having people posing in warm winter coats? It would give that magical Christmas feel. Also, having a backdrop of a gingerbread house could be super cute.
Start by choosing a venue that fits the theme, like a cozy living room with a fireplace. Then, decorate with Christmas lights, stockings, and maybe a fake snow machine. For food, serve gingerbread cookies and hot chocolate.
For a church event, a live nativity scene is a wonderful way. Have members of the congregation dress up as the characters and recreate the stable setting outside the church. It gives a very real and immersive experience for those watching.
You could try making DIY ornaments with your kids. It's fun and adds a personal touch.
