It this post I’ll share ideas with you on planning your own Elf Party and I’ll let you know where I found a lot of the supplies that I used in this party.

Elf Party

Invitations:

Invite Santa’s little helpers to a fun afternoon at the North Pole for some delicious treats, fun activities and lots of giggles. The printable party package includes an invitation that you can simply fill-in with the party details and pop into the mail. Remember that mail service is always a bit slower during the holiday season so you’ll want to pop those invitations into the mail a little early.

Decorations:

The traditional Christmas colors of green, red and white work perfect in this party theme. You can work these colors in through:

  • tablecloths
  • fabric backdrops
  • white cake pedestals
  • Christmas-themed serving trays
  • printable banners, signs, cupcake wrappers, cupcake toppers, drink labels, straw flags, mini chocolate bar wrappers
  • large round 36” balloons
  • paper lanterns and fans

Elf Party

Any sort of Christmas-themed decorations would fit well with this party. To stick in the “Santa’s Workshop” theme you can use small wooden toys, wrapped gift boxes as pedestals for desserts, a sign for the North Pole, wooden crates, and anything else that looks like you’d find it in a factory-style setting.

This printable party package includes many different signs like “Santa’s Workshop”, “Elves Wanted”, etc. that can be blown up into poster size for the walls or framed and placed on tables.

The printable circles can be used as drink labels with ribbon, on napkin holders, on lollipops, as cupcake toppers, etc.

Elf Party Activities:

You can put your little elves to work creating special toys that they can later take home as a party favor. The little elves can be asked to paint small wooden toys, build small Christmas crafts or even make ornaments for a tree.

Elf Party

Each place setting can include a bag for “reindeer food” and the little elves can make their own mixture using oats and sprinkles. They can each take their bag of reindeer food home to sprinkle on their driveway on Christmas Eve.

Each child can be given a printable “Christmas Wish List” to write a letter to Santa on. Provide each of the kids with an envelope addressed to Santa at the North Pole. You can mail these for the kids after the party or you could even have a decorative mailbox there for the kids to put their letters into.

Food:

What does every little workshop need? A variety of coffee break snacks and drinks! After all of the toy building activities, the little elves will need to fuel up with some delicious & sugary Christmas treats.

Your little elves are too young for an energetic coffee drink but they can load up on hot chocolate. What’s one item you’ll find in any break room? Donuts of course! Elves like extra sprinkles.
