Christmas Party Supplies That Won't Break the Bank

Planning a Christmas party doesn't have to be a budget breaking experience, and that includes purchasing Christmas party supplies. There are a wide variety of great looking party supplies available online, as well as in retail stores for bargain prices. Take paper products, for example. Depending on the size of the Christmas party you're throwing, some of these goods could be picked up at a dollar store or a discount party shop.

If you would rather use glassware and stainless utensils, there are a lot of bargain opportunities for these options as well. Don't forget the majority of these items go on clearance at the end of the season, too, so if you plan to throw a party next year that's a great time to cash in on these savings.

In terms of Christmas party decorations, this is the where you can get really creative and decorate your home at bargain prices. Use multipurpose copy paper to cut out snowflakes of all shapes and sizes. Pricing for multipurpose copy paper ranges from $3.00 to $5.00 for 500 sheets depending on where you shop, and that makes a lot of snowflakes! Hang them off lights, on cabinetry, in entryways, and on the walls. There's a lot you can do with this simple Christmas decoration.

Chances are you've already got your traditional Christmas decorations set up for the holidays, so these efforts will further add to your Christmas party plans. Set your kitchen table up buffet style with a tablecloth, as well as a table runner. Place a clear glass hurricane candleholder in center of the table, and fill it with Christmas balls.

Additional ideas for Christmas decorations on the table include champagne glasses filled with candy canes, clear glass tumblers filled with chocolates wrapped in decorative foils, and Christmas themed candles. The majority of these items are available through discount chain stores like Family Dollar, The Christmas Tree Shops, and Big Lots.

In addition to budget Christmas decorations, consider setting out different food and drink items in a decorative manner. For example, segregate a section of counter space specifically for hot beverages. Place your coffee pot here, and brew up a traditional regular brew. In two separate additional carafes; fill one with decaffeinated coffee and the other with hot water.

Use Christmas themed dishes to display packages of hot chocolate, a variety of teas, apple cider packets brew packets, cinnamon sticks, marshmallows, and sugar. Consider setting out honey, plain creamer, as well as flavored creamers. Create another section for cold drinks like egg nog, punch, sparkling cider, and any alcoholic beverages you intend to serve. Be sure each beverage area has enough mugs and glasses on display so guests know they can help themselves.

The bottom line is to have fun with your Christmas party supplies, as well as your Christmas decorations. Think outside the box when it comes to how to set up your beverages, foods, and gifts (if applicable). Try coming up with displays that will surprise your guests, and make for some great holiday photography. Don't be afraid to be creative and use materials that may be considered unconventional Christmas decorations. Capture as many memories as you can from this Christmas party, as well as any other party thrown in the future.
