Ugly Sweater Party Invitation Wordings That Are Cool
Ugly Sweater Party Invitation Wordings That Are Cool.
Ugly Sweater Party Invitation: Gaudy sweaters have long been a feature of the holiday season, but more recently they’ve been enshrined as a bonafide tradition.
Ugly sweater parties, where people come dressed in the most hideous sweater they can find, buy, or make, have become hugely popular. The culmination of these parties is usually an award for the best/worst sweater.
But we don’t have to tell you that. If you’re reading this, you’re probably planning (or at least contemplating) a tacky Christmas sweater party of your own. This article will help you with one of your first steps, which is to come up with the right invitation wording.
Ugly Sweater Party Invite Tips
Whether it’s a contest or not, the concept of an ugly sweater party is pretty straightforward and easy for people to understand. Thus, your invitations don’t need to contain a lot of information beyond the basics.
- Make it funny. Tacky sweater parties are supposed to be lighthearted and fun, so be sure to adopt that tone for your invitation. A funny image of an ugly sweater is all you really need. That said, the perfect invite also features clever (but minimal) wording.
- Hype up the contest. The best way to ensure people go along with the ugly sweater theme is to hold a contest with prizes. The prizes don’t have to be grand, especially if it’s a smaller gathering at someone’s home. However, the invitation should try to get people’s competitive juices flowing by mentioning awards.
- Gift exchange too? Many ugly sweater parties also include a gift exchange of some sort. If that’s the case for your gathering, your invite should tell people to bring a wrapped present of a certain value. Check out our guide to writing White Elephant invitations for sample wording.
Samples
With the above guidelines in mind, here are some wording examples. Feel free to use one of these as-is, or change them up as desired. If you use one of these as a template, just be sure to add any missing information that’s relevant to your event.
