Traditionally, cocktail hour is reserved for an open bar and passed appetizers. Why not change it up and offer some fun activities?
Face painting and friendship bracelet stations would be perfect for a casual, outdoor affair. Christmas parties could feature a make-your-own-ornament table filled with glue, pipecleaners and assorted craft materials.
