What do you get when you take a really ugly Christmas sweater, some excessively tacky holiday accessories, and multiply them by a whole bunch? You get an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party! I'm going to show you how my friend Christy and I put an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party for our MOPS group.
After choosing a date and sending out an Evite (which, by the way, had an actual "Ugly Sweater Party" design!), our first step was to find some delightfully ugly sweaters before the local thrift stores were sold out. Ugly Sweater parties are all the rage these days and tacky stuff goes fast!
The absolute best part of the party was hearing the doorbell ring and seeing ladies come through the door in all their tacky glory!
We wanted a really low-key party, so when guests were finished eating, we had each mom introduce herself and name her favorite Christmas movie...favorites ranged from Elf to Miracle on 34th Street. I did some Googling and had a fun Christmas Trivia Quiz before the big Tacky Fashion Show!
It was so cool to see the ladies be such good sports about the party theme. Most of the moms really got into it, and we had all sorts of flashing lights, rhinestones, and glitter on display. The winning look sported high-waisted, plaid wool pants, suspenders, acrylic rhinestone heels with Christmas socks, and an elf hat that wiggled mechanically and played music!
This was, hands down, one of the most fun Christmas parties I have ever been to. You can guarantee yourself a night of laughs with an Ugly Christmas Sweater theme!

This looks like so much fun! Each and every lady there looks like she's having a blast.
Side note: Do you know that many teachers dress this way on a normal basis in the days leading up to Christmas? It's all I can do not to choke some days when I see those sweaters!
LOVE it! You all look so festive! I love a good ugly Christmas sweater party!  Looks like you guys had a blast!
That sounds like so much fun, Amanda!

Hilarious! Looks like y'all had a great time.
That was too funny!!!! I bet you all had a good time and laugh!!!
Thanks for a laugh this morning, Amanda!
How fun is this!?!? I've been seeing them going on around blog land, but haven't got to have or attend one myself yet. Thanks for the fun ideas!!!
Oh how fun! Looks like you had a delightfully tacky time. :) Shopping for all of that stuff must be just as fun as the actual party, I bet!
I saw this from Home Stories, and just had to read. I just posted on my blog today about the Ugly Sweater Party I threw this weekend! Yours looks like a blast. I love how your friends went all out!
 I REALLY hope you'll link this up!
