The Sweetest Gingerbread House Decorating Party You've Ever Seen

Personalize this seasonal stationery from Tiny Prints to include helpful party details like arriving in pajamas or asking guests to bring their favorite decorating candy to share.

Kids appreciate having their own special place settings as much as they enjoy coordinating decor.

Put your bar cart to use even at a child-friendly party with hot chocolate mocktails.

Bottles of milk garnished with minidoughnuts and holiday paper straws add a special touch to each place setting.

Have a festive spot ready for the kids to patiently wait as the moms transform their holiday brunch spot into a gingerbread house decorating station. Just a few seasonal throw pillows can transform a room for the entire Winter season.

The fun thing about these plates — besides from being personalized with each guest's name — is that they can serve as both a place setting and activity. Let the kids dress Santa and Mrs. Claus with their meal!

By opting for a menu with lots of choices in bite-size portions, you'll be able to accommodate even the pickiest of eaters.

A brunch menu is always a great choice because it allows you to serve fruit, eggs, and protein along with more indulgent treats like pancakes and cinnamon buns.

When your place settings double as an activity (like Santa and Mrs. Claus plates the kids can decorate with their servings) everyone wins!

It's the holidays after all, so encourage kids to get creative and even play with their food. It gets their juices flowing for decorating the gingerbread houses after they finish eating.

The only thing that could make a holiday party even better is a hot chocolate bar complete with candy canes and snowmen marshmallows.

Who wouldn't want to sip some hot chocolate out of these adorable Santa Claus mugs?

Whether you encourage siblings to wear their matching holiday pajamas or have everyone come in their own favorite pair, the photos will turn out adorable.

If you didn't know these snowmen marshmallows and peppermint drink stirrers existed, you'll never be able to look at a plain cup of hot cocoa the same.

Not only do cupcake trays look adorable for a brunch decorating party, but they are also an easy way to organize your gingerbread house candies and sprinkles for kids to share.

Be sure to either use rubber bands or pastry bag ties to keep icing in the bags. Kids have a tendency to squeeze the middle of the bags, which will cause the frosting to end up everywhere.

Save yourself the mess and make sure to tie the ends of each pastry bag and explain to each child not to squeeze too hard in the middle, or else you'll have an icing explosion to deal with.

Set up already made gingerbread houses at each place and let the kids decorate them without having to first build them. This will prevent any upset party guests from wobbly gingerbread houses collapsing.

Help each child write their names in frosting. They'll love being able to decorate "their" gingerbread houses and you'll appreciate being able to tell them apart at the end of the party.

Host this little get-together year after year and you'll love having the darling photos as they get older.
