During December there can be lots of parties and gatherings to celebrate the holidays. If you’re looking to make your party more fun and festive, consider adding a fun movie theme! The movie Elf is a great choice because you can get many decorations at the grocery store!
Easy Elf Centerpieces
For a holiday party at work, I needed a lot of centerpieces for tables. I bought as many of the favorite Elf foods that I could find: pop-tarts, spaghetti, syrup, marshmallows, and candy canes. I put these together in groupings on tables.
Another easy addition to tables is white paper chains and paper snowflakes. In the movie, Buddy the Elf decorates an entire room in paper snowflakes and chains – which might be a little difficult to achieve. But you can add a few to the edge of the tables or place them on tabletops.
Add Quotes
A fun touch to your Easy Elf Party is to add cute quotes from the movie. I printed out quotes I found online. Then I added a simple cardstock border to make them look festive. These were added to the centerpieces.
Easy Elf Themed Gift Game
If your party has a gift exchange, or you have small treats to hand out, consider this elf-theme left/right game. A left/right game is easy to play and very entertaining to watch!
To start the game, everyone has a random gift and sits in a circle. Then one person reads the left/right story. Every time the word “left” or “right” is said, the gifts are passed to the right or left. At the end of the story, whatever gift the person has is what they open. If the gifts are heavy or fragile, have the gifts arranged in a circle and the people stand next to a gift, then when the story is read the people move around and not the gifts.
I used an elf-themed version of the left/right game that I found from this other site.
