How to Plan the Best Hanukkah Party

The countdown is ON until the Festival of Lights, which means there will be parties galore, complete with stuffing our faces with latkes, and lots of menorah lighting. Obviously, you want to look stylish for the party in your best Hanukkah apparel, but how else can you throw the party of the year?

Decor

You want to wow your guests when they walk in! We suggest picking a color theme like blue and silver and then going to town. A chic Hanukkah Table Runner topped with a Dreidel Vase sets the stage perfectly. Serve your guests on cool dreidel plates.

Food

Like every Jewish holiday, a big part of Hanukkah is the FOOD! Fried foods reign — latkes and sufganiyot. If you don't feel like making your own latkes, you can always get latkes delivered. And don't forget the gelt!

Games + Presents

How about an ugly Hanukkah sweater contest? Maybe the winner gets Menorah Sunglasses. And don't forget a rousing game of dreidel. Or do a Secret Hanukkah Harry — everyone brings a fun gift under $25.

Menorah Time

If your party is during the 8 days of Hanukkah, don't forget to light the menorah! Mix one classic with one fun (we love the dinosaur menorah).

Don't forget the kiddos!

If you're having kids at your party, make sure to have some Kids Hanukkah activities like Hanukkah karaoke or a make-your-own-candle kit. Most of all, have fun! Your excitement and joy is contagious.
