From decorative Hanukkah party invitations to traditional Hanukkah party supplies celebrating Hanukkah with family and friends is very special.
For some people one of the most popular Hanukkah party decorations to have during Hanukkah is the Menorah. Menorah itself means candelabra and during Hanukkah the Menorah is to stay lit for eight days and nights. The Menorah has nine branches and is used during Hanukkah. The ninth candle is the one that is used to light the other candles on the Menorah. So on the first day one candle is lit, then on the second day another candle is lit making two total candles. This process continues for each of the eight days of Hanukkah. Tradition is important to the events surrounding Hanukkah.
Most people will find that Hanukkah party supplies are basically the same as traditional party supplies with the exception that they are designed around the Hanukkah theme. Therefore the paper plates, cups and napkins may all have Menorahs on them, Dreidels or another Hanukkah symbol. In addition to the tableware Hanukkah Mylar balloons, hanging banners and inflatable Hanukkah party supplies will add to the decorations and make the party very extraordinary.
Like other parties the host or hostesses will want to send out the Hanukkah party invitations to guests a couple weeks prior to the day, so they'll have time to R.S.V.P. there status. Furthermore, the R.S. V.P. will also give the hostess information about how many people to expect at the party and most importantly how many Hanukkah party supplies and party favors will be needed. This simple step will not only save the hostess time, but it will help her prepare for this unique Jewish celebration for her family and friends.
