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. A pumpkin carving station or caramel apple bar with choose-your-own toppings would be great for an autumn affair. Unique activities during cocktail hour will be sure to have your guests excited to attend your next event!
I like it. it is so important to both of us tht everyone have a great time.

Those apples look AMAZING! I love fun details like this!
Love your ideas to get the guests interacting and having fun!
This is a brilliant idea… you could even include a candy bar area or even a scrap-booking design table. The possibilities are endless. This is an exciting concept!
I think this sounds like a terrific idea. It would truly gives guests a way to interact with each other and share their creative sides. There is such a wide variety of different activities that can be done. I am thinking of several right now that would be fitting for a Christmas cocktail hour…the ornament idea that you had, decorating already baked cookies or even decorating gingerbread houses.
P.S. Those apples do look amazing!!!
