Hanukkah Party Ideas
The key to pulling off a coordinated
event: Evoke your theme throughout the affair. Whether that
theme is as general as a season or a feeling, or as specific
as a special flower, it should be the subtle thread that ties
everything together. Your location, invitations, flowers, menu,
cake, and favors should all cleverly reflect one common concept.
Then, get as creative as you can!

Hanukkah,
the Jewish holiday sometimes referred to as the Festival
of Lights, is a wonderful celebration of family, faith,
and traditions for the Jewish community. The history of
this holiday dates back more than 2,000 years ago when
the Maccabees recaptured Jerusalem and the Jewish people
returned to rededicate their Temple. The miracle that is
still celebrated today is that the small amount of oil
found in the temple burned for eight days instead of
only one. It is because of this that the celebration
continues for eight days and is known as the Festival of
Lights.
Many different types of celebrations are held during
these eight days, and you will find some wonderful
product listed on this page that will help you throw a
very memorable and significant gathering of friends and
family.

Hanukkah Party Favors
You may want to send
your guests home with something small that speaks
volumes about what they mean to you and how privileged
you feel that they came to your gathering.
Here are a couple of suggestions for great favors for
your Hanukkah celebration:
Here are some other ideas
that work great to create a wonderfully festive
atmosphere for your Hanukkah celebration!
Show your guests just how
much you care by offering
Personalized Napkins
from Carlson Craft that complement your theme. Have
Napkins imprinted with your special message and design.
The napkins will serve several purposes - great
decorating in disguise and a delightful memento of the
party that can be saved in scrapbooks for years to come!
Napkins can be laid out on a buffet table, or can be
displayed at each place setting. Place napkins in the
center of each place setting at an angle, or unfold them
and place them in glasses for a tall dramatic look. The
napkins can also be tied (and bundled with plastic
cutlery) with a multitude of items to match your theme.
Try Curling Ribbon, Gossamer Streamers, ric-rac or
ribbon.
Another
excellent choice for a huge impact at a reasonable price
is
Gossamer which is a
lightweight fabric that drapes beautifully. Use blue and
silver gossamer to create bows; one, two or three colors
of gossamer can be braided together to create roping to
swag from walls or ceilings; an attractive, illuminated
rope can be created by wrapping a strand of clear
twinkle lights in a length of pleated gossamer; and
gossamer can be effectively used to cover chairs, doors
and columns! In the
Gossamer section you will find a
"How to Decorate with Gossamer
Book".
