My Very Pink Christmas party

It’s finally my favorite season of the year β€” Christmas!
This year, I’ve been attending so many Christmas parties that I haven’t been able to blog as much as I wanted. Today, I’m excited to share a little story from our pink-themed Christmas party, which we hosted for Leo’s daycare friends a couple of weekends ago.

The idea for a Pink Christmas Party came from Pinterest.
I instantly fell in love with its soft, feminine, and romantic vibe. I think this theme became even more popular recently after LoveShackFancy launched their Christmas decoration collection this season.

We started by creating and handing out invitations.
Having a mood board and invitation prepared in advance makes party planning so much easier, and it also helps guests quickly understand the overall vibe and dress code.

I co-hosted the party with a close mom friend, which definitely made things more manageable.
I was in charge of decorations, so I brought many items from home and purchased additional pieces as needed. Since we planned a dessert table, I also prepared desserts in advance.

Most of the decorations were purchased from HomeGoods, World Market, and Amazon, while the balloons and helium tank were from Target. There were so many adorable items β€” it was hard to resist!

For the entrance, I went all out with balloon decorations and IKEA star lights.
I wanted guests to have a dramatic β€œwow” moment as soon as they walked in, so I filled the space with balloons and placed the star right in the center.
The balloons and garlands were all from Target.

Inside the house, I added garlands and pink velvet ribbons throughout to bring in a festive Christmas feel.
Pink candles were the final touch β€” they really completed the pink Christmas mood.
I even tied pink velvet ribbons onto the champagne glasses for a little extra detail.

The area I focused on the most was the dessert table.
I bought a plain red velvet cake and decorated it myself with cookies and berries β€” isn’t it so cute?
We also prepared a variety of gingerbread cookies and shortbread cookies, along with marshmallows and hot cocoa.
(Although, I wish the hot cocoa had been more popular!)

The hot cocoa set was from HomeGoods, and I loved how cute it was β€” it even came with different flavors.
The Santa cookie jar is something I use every year, and it’s honestly perfect for Christmas decor.

Leo, his friends, and all the families had such a wonderful time together.
Christmas really is about sharing special moments with people you love.
The kids also played a Secret Santa game and each took home a gift β€” seeing how happy they were made all of us smile.

You can probably tell how hard we worked… 😊
