I decided to throw our Harper Ellis Christmas Party at my house this year. With how busy this year has been + remodeling my home I wanted an evening to simply enjoy the people I surround myself with on a daily basis. My goal for this year’s party was to spoil my team and get a liiitttlee wild, and honestly just have fun. You know we had to dress up as Santa & Mrs. Claus but elevated! We had an absolute blast with our Christmas costume contest, delicious drinks, and some hilarious karaoke performances! I catered the best charcuterie board layout and it was stunning! We had a hot cocoa station, and even had custom koozies made. The Harper Ellis team knows how to throw a party and I want to give you some of the best party essentials to make your event a success!

2 Gallon Drink Dispenser | Wine Chiller | Gold Accent Plates | Cupcake Tier Stand | Wine Glasses with Gold Rim | Charcuterie Board

Here are some of the key items for our party with food and drinks. These 2 gallon drink dispensers from Target are perfect for making large batches of drinks, and the gold hardware is so cute! Of course I need the wine chiller, and I highly recommend this for any wine drinkers out there. It keeps your wine cold for so long! I love this tiered cupcake stand because not only is it pleasing to look at but I got a ton of compliments on it. It comes in multiple different tier layers for however many deserts you need to hold.

Party | Hot Chocolate Bar

Double Chocolate Hot Cocoa Mix | Peppermint Hot Cocoa Mix | Hot Chocolate Drink Bombs | Mini Marshmallows | Mini Chocolate Chips | Chocolate Syrup | Whip Cream

I love a good hot chocolate bar because you can use it all season, not just during the holidays! I wanted to make sure I had all of the essentials like marshmallows, chocolate chips, whip cream, etc. If you want to drizzle the chocolate on the inside of the cup, and top it off with a ton of whipped cream, I got you! These chocolate bombs are a great gift for a friend that may have a birthday during this winter season. I think everyone needs these little treats in their home for when you get a sweet tooth!

Party | The Adult Party Essentials

party essentials, drink mixers, mixing kit, champagne flutes, shot syringes, edible drink glitter, confetti cannons, karaoke machine, shot glasses

Drink Mixing Kit | Champagne Flutes | Shot Syringes | Edible Drink Glitter | Confetti Poppers | Karaoke Machine | Shot Glasses

*This is for adults only, please drink responsibly*

Now for my favorite part! If you plan on making or serving cocktails, these are some of my favorite items to make the night a success! When in doubt, buy a drink mixing kit, this will come more in handy than you think. I also recommend buying these plastic shot glasses, because you can throw them away, don’t have to worry about broken glass, and it saves on doing dishes later. For our Christmas party we wanted to elevate our drinks a little bit and our recipe called for drink glitter. This was a huge hit and really made the drinks turn out special! Last but certainly not least: the karaoke machine! This speaker lights up AND changes colors with the music! If you live in town, I recommend warning your neighbors ahead of time. (lol)
