Throwing an informal dinner party during the holidays is a great way to get friends and family together to enjoy each other in this busy time of year. Liven up your Christmas dinner table with some creative holiday place card holders. A simple way to create festive and functional table Christmas decor is to take a few colorful Christmas tree ball decorations and write your guests names on them in craft paint or with a sharpie. Tie a ribbon around a cloth napkin, lace the ribbon through the Christmas ball hanger and tie with a bow. Place each napkin with a personalized Christmas ornament on each plate.

Customize each Christmas decoration by using different colors, different shapes, and adding extra decoration like glitter or sequins. When everyone goes home, send them home with their unique reminder of your Christmas dinner party!

For those of you that want the look without the hassle, Crate and Barrel has come out with a cute and festive Christmas Decoration place card holder with the same basic look, pictured right.
