Open House Invitations
Choose from two designs – a vintage wreath or pretty amaryllis – that gently invite your neighbors to get to know one another over coffee at your kitchen table. If you opt to do the Christmas Countdown Craft at your Open House, you can print an invitation that says, “Bring an old 4×6 photo frame to create a Christmas countdown.” You customize each invitation with your name and contact information as well as the date of your event.
Countdown Craft
This adorable Christmas craft is made by removing the glass from an old photo frame, inserting Christmas paper, and gluing on a little clothespin. Download, print and trim our Christmas Countdown Cards; each card has a number on one side and a number and Scripture verse on the other. Your neighbors will leave your home with a memory, a new friendship, and 25 messages about the real meaning of Christmas.
Planning Guide
Now that you’ve decided to host a Christmas Open House for your neighbors, it’s time to deck the halls with boughs of holly – but don’t worry, you’ll still be jolly when you’re done!
My Planning Guide keeps your guests as the focus, walking you through the process with prayer, picking a date and time, passing out invitations, picking up a few supplies, preparing your home, and finally – party time!
How to Love Your Neighbor at Christmas
Start a new tradition in your neighborhood this Christmas by hosting a Christmas Open House! All you have to do is set aside the time you’d spend watching one Christmas movie (you already know how it’s going to end!) or making one trip to the mall (you already know they don’t have what you need) and use that time to do something special with a neighbor. Download everything you need to get started for free.
I’m here to help!
This is a practical, adaptable way to offer extravagant hospitality – not extreme entertaining – to your neighbors.
