CHRISTMAS ENTERTAINING BUCKETLIST

ENTERTAINING BUCKET LIST: CHRISTMAS EDITION

JOANNANo comment

This Entertaining Bucketlist is one of my favourites to write because I absolutely love Christmas! I am definitely the person to start celebrating November 1st and truly enjoy every aspect of the holiday. From the twinkling lights to the upbeat Christmas songs – how can you NOT be in a good mood! Christmas is my favourite holiday hands down and I cannot wait to start celebrating and decorating. I am a little behind in my decorating because we have been in the middle of a move but I cannot wait to get started on the house and tree soon!

If you are new here, I created the seasonal Entertaining Bucket List because every season throughout the year brings on new adventures and fun activities to be tackled. I love me a good bucket list and I have seen so many pop up on Pinterest lately. They are pretty much all encompassing which is great but I wanted to create a special one for entertaining specifically. Most of the items I want to do each month involve friends, family and food so it’s a perfect fit! You can do the below on your own but having people over to enjoy the activities makes it that more special.

Whether you add these items to your main bucket list for Christmas or keep them separate – they are sure to be a lot of fun for all!

BABY SHOWER PRINTABLES

BABY WORD SCRABBLE FREE PRINTABLE

JOANNANo comment

Baby showers are a great way to get friends and family together to celebrate mom to be! This is such a special time in the families life and people love getting together to celebrate the occasion. If you have ever put together a baby shower (or bridal shower etc.) you know exactly how much work goes into planning and executing the event. After spending hours on the decorations and food, the last thing you need to worry about is if people will interact with each other or if the room will be silent!

Having a few party games is always helpful in breaking that silent lul that can happen when the crowd is filled with random strangers! I always like to have a few games on hand to use when the room needs a pick me up! Hosting events like these can be a little difficult because various groups of people need to mingle together and stay entertained.

For this weeks post, I have created a free baby shower party game printable for you to use at your next baby shower event. I hope the group has fun playing it!

ETSY PARTY SHOP GUIDE

JOANNANo comment

There are so many amazing party shops on Etsy that provide such unique items and products. I love browsing them and using the images as inspiration to bring together tablescapes and party designs. Sometimes just walking through the aisles of Michaels or browsing through the pages of Etsy help reenergize my mind and inspire a new creation from the smallest product. A colourful fabric can be the start of a small idea that turns into a full creative party table – that’s what I love about this business! Getting to be creative and using my imagination is definitely the best part!

My goal one day is to open up my own Etsy shop with various party inspiration but until that becomes a reality I can’t wait to share these below! I have purchased from some shops and been eyeing products at others. All are filled with unique party supplies that will definitely raise the bar at your next party!

HALLOWEEN TREAT BAGS: KIDS EDITION

JOANNANo comment

Do you have some special kiddos in your life that you want to spoil with these Halloween Treat Bags? Even though Halloween is on Wednesday (how did that happen?!), these treats can be assembled in a few minutes and just require one quick trip to the dollar store! Although candy and chocolate are amazing (obviously) – I like to jazz up the treats even more!

I’ve created a quick and easy craft that will elevate your Halloween game to the next level! Surprise your kids (or coworkers – depending on what you put in them!) with some extra fun Halloween goodies. This is also a great activity to do with your kiddos – they can help put together these treats for their friends and family members.

HALLOWEEN KIDS HAUNTED HOUSE FUN + FREE PRINTABLE

JOANNANo comment

Halloween definitely tops my list of holidays that I love and I enjoy celebrating it every year. As a kid, my parents would go all out on the decorations especially my dad whos personal mission was to make the outside of our house as fun/scary as possible. This usually involved us stuffing newspapers into all sorts of items that would turn into large spiders, scary ghosts or crushed legs coming out of the garage (my fav!). Sometimes our costumes were purchased and other times they involved some genius handcrafting but we always had a blast trick or treating in our neighbourhoods. As I grew older I never forgot the fun feeling you get as kids around the holiday. Halloween is full of entertainment and candy as well as scary mystery and magical creatures. It is always surprising and every year can bring its own set of fun. One of my favourite parts of Halloween was when someone created an epic haunted house (not too scary) and we got to go through it as kids. That was always so fun!

For this Halloween, I wanted to create a fun mini version of a Halloween haunted house you can do with the kiddos at home! Nothing too scary but a lot of fun and interactive. I’m hoping this has them laughing and enjoying the monster parts I have come up with!
