Fun Holiday Parties on a Budget

Create a fun party using everyday materials you have at home. Transform your tables and bookshelves using yours or rented holiday decor, candles and greenery. Set up interactive activities and creative crafts. Even just one hands-on activity station can add excitement to your gathering, spark creativity and bring people together, ensuring laughs and conversation throughout your event.​

Tips!​

  • Breakout the good China and holiday collectables.​

  • Rent holiday decor from DISCO.To.Go.

  • Have guests bring a sweet or savory food for a potluck holiday buffet.​

  • Set a hot chocolate charcuterie display or bar; or prepare a cookie decorating station.​

  • Activity: Make snowflakes out of toilet paper rolls.
