Ideas for Christmas Brunch Invitations

According to All Things Christmas, over 400 million people around the world celebrate Christmas every year. The Christmas season is a time of joy, feasting and family traditions. Dinner is not the only time to eat on Christmas Day. Christmas brunch is a growing tradition. According to Foodtimeline.org, brunch is a tradition that originated in late 19th-century Britain. Many restaurants around the United States now offer Christmas brunch specials.

Holiday Cookies

Edible invitations in the form of holiday cookies are a unique and delicious way to create Christmas brunch invitations. Cookie cutters in holiday shapes such as Christmas trees, snowmen, snowflakes and reindeer are used to shape large, over-sized cookies in any flavor. According to Sugarcraft, food coloring pens offer a non-toxic, edible way to decorate pastries. Such pens can also be used for writing. For example, "X-mas Brunch @ Mom and Pop Café, 1 p.m." is an appropriate message for a casual Christmas brunch invitation. Use of red, white or green writing further ties in the Christmas theme. A wax paper-lined cookie tin is an acceptable container for Christmas brunch invitations. Most home goods stores carry cookie cutters, cookie tins and wax paper.

Christmas ornaments are a common detail added to Christmas trees. Some people use personalized ornaments to commemorate each year of a growing child's life or special occasions like the purchase of a first home. Christmas ornaments also mark new traditions like Christmas brunch. Large, plain Christmas ornaments with basic information written in glitter glue make unique invitations that also double as keepsakes. A glitter glue color that contrasts with the color of the ornaments is easy to read. The invitation serves as a Christmas ornament and a memento for the special occasion.

Many large department stores and specialty stores carry Christmas ornaments. Glitter glue of various colors can be found at most craft stores.

According to WhyChristmas.com, St. Francis of Assisi popularized Christmas carols in 1223 in Italy. The tradition has continued into the present day in countries all over the world. Christmas carolers sing in public spaces and visit individual homes and businesses. Some choirs and caroling groups are for hire and can sing Christmas brunch invitations. Such a unique invitation requires coordination and confirmation of the schedules of the brunch guests to ensure that they will be home when the carolers arrive.

The joy of opening presents on Christmas Day is a feeling many people still carry from childhood. Christmas brunch invitations placed inside of festively wrapped gift boxes lined with tissue paper are reminders of pleasant memories. Bows, tinsel and gift tags further reinforce the Christmas theme.
