"Elf" Movie Themed Christmas Party

santa's coming!  i know him!

Last Christmas Eve we celebrated with one of my very favorite holiday icons, Buddy the Elf.  One of my absolute favorite holiday movies is Elf, so I thought it'd be fun to incorporate Buddy into our holiday.

  1. I love it! Can I come next year? Our 2nd annual Elf night was fun but wasn't nearly as pretty or well organized... You can check it out here (#1883): http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1707141&page=126

    1. The elf hats are meringue cookies. I just colored the dough and layered it before baking.

  7. SO CUTE!! Love it all! I'm planning my own ELF party for my 2 kids and their friends in 2 weeks. Where did you get the little green stands that are holding the food cards?

    1. Oh, Marissa, I wish I could remember! I've had them for years. I'm pretty sure they're meant to be place card holders, if that helps you find something similar.
