The Christmas season is the best time of year and our annual holiday party is my absolute favorite party! Simplifying a Christmas party makes it so much more fun for you and your guests. We are so excited to be partnering with Smirnoff to help you craft your holiday party.
I always start party planning by choosing a theme. It can be a simple choice of colors or you can go all out and create a Winter Wonderland Celebration. I like simple. Old world colors of deep reds and golds make me happy. I will send out an invitation that reflects that theme. My invitations will include a lovely image on the front cover and You Are Invited: Our Annual Christmas Party. I actually used to mail out our invites, but in the last few years I have started using online invites and I like it so much more. Simple.
The details for the party are inside the invite. We are serving appetizers, desserts and cocktails. Therefore the party will start a little later than an actual dinner party. Our party starts at 7:30pm. The perfect time. I also let our guests know that it will be appetizers, desserts and cocktails. Lastly I will tell them what the appropriate attire is and to bring a gift to exchange if they would like to participate and the value of the gift.
Menu planning is next.
