What says Christmas Party like an Ugly Sweater Party? This post will provide you with great ideas + FREE Printables (At The Bottom) to host your own Ugly Sweater or Tacky Sweater Party! I absolutely love entertaining for the Holiday’s!! Tacky sweater parties are prob my all time favorite family friendly party theme. You can have all of the guest vote during the party for their favorite ugly sweater, and hand out prizes to the top 2 or 3 tackiest sweaters. Another fun activity idea to do during your party is a white elephant gift exchange.
The Tacky Sweater ornaments were used to create this Christmas party banner! They come with the hangers attached so it is easy to hang them on bakers twine or ribbon to create an Ugly Sweater Party banner.
Ugly Sweater Cookies
The Ugly Sweater Party cookies are simply adorable! Sugar Coma Cookies (Who Ships) created these fun and adorable cookies for me. I love the fact that they can hang. You could also do just tacky sweater cookies and set on a platter instead of the holes for hanging.
I filled the white Christmas tree dishes with delicious Jelly Belly beans, and arranged the jelly belly beans to look like Christmas trees.
You can download this 5×7 Ugly Sweater Party printable at the bottom of this post!!
Using clear party cups is an affordable, and pretty way to dress up candy and cupcakes! I always use cupcakes purchased from my local grocery store to save money, and then jazz them up with cupcake toppers! These toppers are a Printable download with the Ugly Sweater Printable Package below. I use these White Milk Glass Cake Stands for just about every party I host.
The fun glitter trees are the perfect Christmas party decoration.
A Hot Cocoa Bar is always a good idea at a Christmas Party! I used this galvanized metal 3 tier stand to hold our Hot Cocoa Makings! The clear mugs were $1 each from the Dollar Tree. You can get the Hot Cocoa Sign as a download below.
This banner is available as a printable download at the bottom of this post! Be sure to set up a delicious selection of Christmas Party finger foods for your guest.

A PHOTO BOOTH is a must at any Christmas Party!! You can make your own quick and easy using adorable photo booth props and ugly sweater wrapping paper for a backdrop.

H! Thank you so much for the free printables. They gave me the inspiration I needed to create something fun far away from home. I do have a question…where do I find the invitation and the tent cards? It does not give me the option to download them and I couldn’t find them on your Etsy shop either.
Thanks in advance,
Julissa

Hello- I absolutely love the ugly sweater party printables. I know I’m very early, but once school starts it will be busy. I’m planning on having an ugly sweater birthday party for one of my kids. Our neighborhood has an annual christmas parade and thought it would be fun to incorporate the ugly sweater theme. I’m unable to download the invites and tent cards. I would love to use them if possible.
Thank you in advance for your time and wonderful work!
Traci
Hello Traci! The files got corrupted on my end. I am fixing it soon.
Traci Nagel says
Thank you so much, I keep checking back for the update!
Traci
I am unable to get the tent cards link, I checked your etsy shop and you dont have this set available. Do you still have them?
thank you,
Hi Kara, I enjoy looking around your blog however, I get frustrated and in the last few months, I can never get a link or the link takes me somewhere else. I hope in the near future, perhaps Christmas these links may work.
Lori
Oh no!!! Ok let me look over this post and see what the issues are.
Erika says
