There are a couple of suggestions that are best for your guests. First, make sure they understand the purpose of the party. You want them to wear their best or funniest ugly sweater. So start off and pick the invitations for your party that will give them the most information. Then definitely make sure you wear your best or funniest sweater yourself. Ugly sweater invitations are a great start, but showing off your own is definitely a must.
Contests for various categories are fun addition to any ugly sweater party. The best way is to pick silly categories. The most tree ornaments on the sweater, the most reindeer, etc. Categories like the funniest or the ugliest are hard to choose winners. Unless you have a team of judges, or have your guests vote anonymously, then don't pick subjective categories. Make sure to include at least the idea that you will have contests in your ugly sweater party invitations to alert your guests.
As with any holiday party, ugly sweater parties can get out of hand with too much alcohol. So be careful of the kinds and quantities of drinks available. Make sure there is plenty of water, coffee and tea for your guests. As hosts, make sure you know designated drivers to help out.
Now that the caution is done, pick your date, chose your ugly sweater party invitations and get planning for a fun time for both you and your guests.
