Firstly, before deciding anything or take any action, your number one priority is to make up your mind about the venue where the party is going to take place. If it’s going to be a traditional Christmas party at your home, then you will have to set the mood for your guests, and nothing sets a good Christmas party mood more than a well-decorated Christmas tree surrounded with traditional Christmas ornaments, and of course don’t forget the mistletoes, but if you have a certain place in your mind you will have to get on the phone and do the booking for that place in advance and discuss the decorations and the theme with them.
Guest List
Secondly, making a name list of all the people you are thinking of inviting to your Christmas party, this is necessary because it allows you to estimate the number of guests attending. This estimation helps a lot when hiring a catering service so you can specify the average amount of food needed. After deciding on the name list, start calling and inviting these people couple of days before the party so you can give them some time so they can plan their time schedule and make time for it.
3. Entertainment
Thirdly, comes a very important part of the party, the entertainment which must be handled with careful planning, you have choices to pick from, if it’s a formal gathering, It’s better to hire the services of a professional Dj, But in the case of a traditional Christmas party with family and friends, a simple fun-filled Karaoke will do the job.
4. Food and Drinks
Finally, since it’s the holiday season, it’s almost a Christmas tradition for people to throw their diet promises behind their backs and they decide to indulge their appetites and splurge on the food like there is no tomorrow ,and that’s why food is the most important aspect when planning a Christmas party, there are two ways to go here, you can cook the food yourself or you can hire the services of a professional caterer, I’d go with the second option to save effort and having hired help is always a good thing.
These procedures offer the best guidelines that will help you throw the Christmas party you always dreamt about.
