A Casual and Festive Christmas Open House

A holiday open house is a stress-free option to holiday entertaining. Guests show up within a four- to five-hour time frame and can stay as long as their schedules allow. Entertaining open house-style also leads to more RSVPs and allows you to spend more time with each individual guest.

Every occasion calls for a proper invitation that not only informs guests of the details but also gets them in the holiday spirit. These sophisticated tartan invites in French green and silver allude to the party's menswear theme.

A buffet table is the way to go for open house parties. For this look, combine menswear fabrics in tartan and plaid with feminine touches like roses and sparkling accents. Label each dish with a menswear-inspired printable buffet label.

Sage green sequined stockings provide a sparkling backdrop that reflects light from flickering candles.
