Run a thumb across this card and you expect wool. The border is a cream cable knit with red and green stitching, holly and berries sit in the corners, and a soft paper label in the middle carries the heading in red script. The hosts’ name is written in the same cheerful red, and the words underneath are plain and easy to read.
It fits an ugly sweater party, a cabin weekend in December, a movie night with cocoa, a family Christmas Eve, or any gathering where the dress code is socks. Grandma’s name on it is perfect; so is a family name or two first names.
For the evening itself, keep it low: blankets, a fire if you have one, a pot of mulled cider, a stack of old Christmas films. Two weeks’ notice is plenty, and tell people to bring slippers.
