Need some inspiration for throwing a winter soirée
or impressing all of your relatives when they come
over this holiday season? Then you are in the right
place! We have some tips and ideas for planning
the best party of the season.
If you are having the whole family over for the
holidays, try something family friendly such as
decorating gingerbread houses! The kids will love
the activity and everyone can spend some quality
time together. Another trending idea is to have a
cookie exchange! Have everyone bring two-dozen
of their favorite cookies to the gathering. Then you
go around and trade cookies with everyone and go
home with many new cookies to try! Fun for you
and your taste buds!
Trying to go for more of an elegant, up-scale party?
Try having a cocktail party with many treats to
explore! Have different appetizers such as crab
puffs or artichoke-parmesan crostini spread on
the outskirts of the room. Also, have a small bar
with champagne and a signature holiday drink
to serve! This will get people moving around the
room and mingling with other partygoers! A hot
trend this winter is to include a hot chocolate bar
with different toppings such as marshmallows and
peppermints for people to customize their warm
drink – maybe even throw in whipped cream vodka
for some adult fun!
Don’t feel like you need to stick with the classic
rich reds and deep greens for your décor! Make
your party like a winter wonderland with light
blues and whites– have guests go with the theme
by dressing in similar colors! Or spice up the end
of the year with gold and champagne pink accents
for the New Year’s party your friends will be talking
about well into 2014!
We hope this gets your wheels turning! Have a safe
Holiday season and enjoy your friends and family!
Happy Planning!
