One of the best parts of the holiday season is all of the wonderful parties. If you are planning a holiday get-together this year, don’t let your event get swept in with the rest, here are some helpful tips to make your holiday party a memorable experience:
- Set the date early. Weekends between Thanksgiving and New Years book up fast.
- Think up a creative theme. Have a contest where you give away presents for the best dressed Santa or elf, or have an ornament decorating station where guests can design their own Christmas tree balls or even Christmas cards.
- Don’t go overboard on decorations. A great option is to put all of the you have received so far this year (and if you have any from past years) on display throughout the house.
- Center your energy on a do-able holiday menu. Don’t kill yourself on an over the top gourmet meal. It’s the atmosphere of the party that counts.
- Make deserts that can be held in the hand. A desert bar, with bowls of chocolates or candy pieces is a simple way to add some fun and keep your guests moving around the room.
- Don’t underestimate the importance of quality entertainment. A good DJ or band can make or break the party.
- Lastly, think about adding the elegance of a coffee bar. Offer a variety of coffee flavors, along with a bowl of whipped cream, and a various liqueurs (Baileys, Kalhua, Brandy, Rum, & Whiskey)
By following the tips above, you will surely create a night to remember!
