Kacie Faulling
Are you beginning to plan your family and friend holiday party? We are getting close to the holiday season and you can never start planning too early for a party. In this blog, we will be giving you some pointers on how to have a successful holiday party.
Create to-do Lists
Once you decide to have a holiday party, create to-do lists so you won’t automatically get overwhelmed. Create lists so you can break down all that is involved in throwing a successful holiday party. Ask yourself, whom should I invite to my epic party? Once you decide how many guests you want to have you will have to decide on virtual or printed invitations. Think about what type of communication will work best for the group.
Once you know the type of invitation you will be sending, think about what date will work for the majority of your guests. The holidays are a busy time for everyone, so it is best to get the invites out as early as possible. This way your guests will have the holiday party on their calendars before they get invited to other December events.
Venue
Once you know who your guests are and when the event will take place, think about the type of venue you are looking for. Think about the type of weather it will be during December. Is the area you’re in too cold for an outside party? You want to always be thinking about your guest as you plan a successful holiday party.
