How to Plan the Perfect Holiday Party With the holiday season is upon us, it is time to start planning your yearly holiday parties. Many people enjoy the holidays simply because of all of the parties they get to attend and host themselves. Using the tips listed below, you can ensure that your holiday party goes off without a hitch and becomes the talk of the holiday season. Create a Guest List The first step in hosting the best holiday party possible is creating a guest list. If you invite the right mix of people, your party will be a lot more fun as everyone in attendance will enjoy each other’s company. When you are scrolling through your contacts to see who you should invite, carefully consider the dynamics of the group that will be attending your party. By not inviting someone who may clash with your other guests, you will ensure your party is not spoiled by any unnecessary drama. Once you have created a guest list, you will want to contact your potential guests and try to get them to RSVP to your party. When your guests RSVP to your party, you will have a good idea of the number of people who will actually attend and can move forward with your party planning. Figure Out The Menu The most important aspect of a quality holiday party is the menu. If you serve great tasting food at your holiday party, your guests will be talking about your party in the following days and weeks. A nice menu can leave a long lasting impression on your guests, ensuring they will attend your holiday party next year. When trying to decide what will be on your menu, carefully consider everyone who will be attending your party. This will allow you to have vegetarian dishes if any of your guests are vegetarians as well as avoid serving food that you know a lot of your guests do not like. Your menu should also consist of appetizers and drinks in addition to your main course. Having quality appetizers and delicious drinks can help set the mood of your party and prepare your guests to have a great time during the rest of your gathering.

How  to  Plan  the  Perfect  Holiday  Party    

With  the  holiday  season  is  upon  us,  it  is  time  to  start  planning  your  yearly  holiday  parties.    Many  people  enjoy  the  holidays  simply  because  of  all  of  the  parties  they  get  to  attend  and  host  themselves.    Using  the  tips  listed  below,  you  can  ensure  that  your  holiday  party  goes  off  without  a  hitch  and  becomes  the  talk  

of  the  holiday  season.  

 

Create  a  Guest  List  

The  first  step  in  hosting  the  best  holiday  party  possible  is  creating  a  guest  list.    If  you  invite  the  right  mix  of  people,  your  party  will  be  a  lot  more  fun  as  everyone  in  attendance  will  enjoy  each  other’s  company.    When  you  are  scrolling  through  your  contacts  to  see  who  you  should  invite,  carefully  consider  the  

dynamics  of  the  group  that  will  be  attending  your  party.    By  not  inviting  someone  who  may  clash  with  your  other  guests,  you  will  ensure  your  party  is  not  spoiled  by  any  unnecessary  drama.  

 

Once  you  have  created  a  guest  list,  you  will  want  to  contact  your  potential  guests  and  try  to  get  them  to  RSVP  to  your  party.    When  your  guests  RSVP  to  your  party,  you  will  have  a  good  idea  of  the  number  of  

people  who  will  actually  attend  and  can  move  forward  with  your  party  planning.  

 

Figure  Out  The  Menu  

The  most  important  aspect  of  a  quality  holiday  party  is  the  menu.    If  you  serve  great  tasting  food  at  your  holiday  party,  your  guests  will  be  talking  about  your  party  in  the  following  days  and  weeks.    A  nice  menu  can  leave  a  long  lasting  impression  on  your  guests,  ensuring  they  will  attend  your  holiday  party  next  

year.  

 

When  trying  to  decide  what  will  be  on  your  menu,  carefully  consider  everyone  who  will  be  attending  your  party.    This  will  allow  you  to  have  vegetarian  dishes  if  any  of  your  guests  are  vegetarians  as  well  as  

avoid  serving  food  that  you  know  a  lot  of  your  guests  do  not  like.  

 

Your  menu  should  also  consist  of  appetizers  and  drinks  in  addition  to  your  main  course.    Having  quality  appetizers  and  delicious  drinks  can  help  set  the  mood  of  your  party  and  prepare  your  guests  to  have  a  great  time  during  the  rest  of  your  gathering.

Entertainment  In  addition  to  great  food,  your  party  will  need  some  type  of  entertainment.    While  some  groups  of  

people  can  enjoy  each  other’s  company  by  simply  engaging  in  conversations  and  catching  up  on  lost  time,  this  may  not  be  enough  entertainment  for  your  party.    Playing  holiday  theme  games  or  turning  on  some  music  and  dancing  the  night  away  are  just  some  entertainment  ideas  you  can  use  to  improve  your  

holiday  party.  

 

In  order  to  host  the  perfect  holiday  party,  you  need  to  put  some  time  and  effort  into  planning  the  event.    Carefully  creating  a  guest  list  made  up  of  people  you  know  will  get  along,  selecting  the  perfect  menu  and  ensuring  your  party  will  have  fun  entertainment  for  your  guests  are  just  some  of  the  ways  you  can  

ensure  your  holiday  party  goes  off  as  planned  this  holiday  season.  You  may  also  want  to  hire  a  coordinator  or  event  planner  to  help  you  organize  the  party.
