Festive Holiday Party Planning
Plan and Host a Fabulous Fun Event
Want to throw a fun and exciting party? Impress your friends and be the talk of the town? Or just enjoy the season with a warm reception?
Planning a party is simple; just follow the steps below.
Theme. Decide on a theme -- it can be a cultural theme such as Italian, a religious theme like the Nativity Scene, or a period theme such as 40’s swing era. Of course, a theme is optional. Instead, you can choose a color combo like: red, green, and shiny gold; black, white, and red; or silver, green, and frost blue.
Budget. Count the cost, probably somewhere between $200 for a low budget to $2,000 for a high budget. If several folks are putting on the party, you can split the cost. Remember, you will need to account for the rental hall, food, decorations, invitations, gifts and music. Included in the following are some great ideas to keep the costs down if you’re on a limited budget.
Location. To keep the party personal and intimate, hold it at your home (or someone else’s). A home accommodates up to 100 guests, and remember, you’ll have to clean the house first. For more than 100 guests, consider renting a hall. The cost usually includes a rental fee, a deposit, plus insurance. Check your Chamber of Commerce or visitor bureau to find event facilities.
Guests. Do you want to invite family? Friends and neighbors? The work crowd or your clients? Or maybe all of the above? Do you want to offer a kid-friendly environment or will it be adults only? Be sure to specify on the invitation. And remember that only about half or one-third of invitees will show up. They have many other holiday events vying for their attention around this time of year!
