Santa’s Workshop Party Ideas

Welcome to Santa’s Workshop! This year Annabelle and her friends kicked off the season with her 4th Annual Christmas Party. They were invited to the northpole! Each girl was given an “ELF” outfit prior to the party and they looked very adorable if I do say so myself! The North Pole, of course must have treats for the busy toy making elves. There was the Reindeer café, where the elves picked up cafeteria style soup, sandwiches and chips and also The North Pole Bakery, baked fresh daily by Mrs. Claus (well, actually my awesome sister made the sweet Christmas cookies, shhh).

Now for the fun! The girls, I mean, Elves, each painted a wooden toy. They wore “Official North Pole Toy Maker” aprons that I made by ironing my design onto red children sized aprons. They all were very creative and did a great job! Look at those serious faces! They took this job serious people.

And when the party was all wrapped up, these girls were given a party gift of matching Chritmas PJs, because this was a sleepover! How cute are they! I actually got myself a matching pair, which you will not see pictured, but the girls LOVED it!

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

When you host a party mid-day you can save money by not serving a full meal. This party consisted of retro bottles of soda, ice cream and soda pop cupcakes and fun! I used inexpensive engineer prints to make oversized black and white signs and chalkboard menus. Big impact, small dollars! The soda bottles double as party décor. You don’t need much with this theme. If you were hosting the party at home you could add some thrift shop records and chrome accessories to pull the them in.
