Planning Better Events

Have you decided to have a big Christmas party during the holidays this year? If so, from sending out your invitations to finding the right center in which to hold your event, here are some ideas on how to host a great Christmas party. Fortunately, you have plenty of time to plan a party that your friends and family will always remember.

The Invitations - Think about mailing a Save The Date notice in the early fall. The holidays can be super busy and you want to make sure that those on your guest list will mark their calendars early.

• Consider having a theme to your party. For example, think about using snowmen or Santas as the focus for your event. 
• If you choose snowmen, consider having them as part of your invitation design. Snow flakes and words like Join Frosty And The Gang would be great for the front of your invitations.
• If you choose Santa for your theme, think of having a jolly little Santa on the front of your invitation along with words like You're On Santa's List!
• Of course, you can also go with something more elegant. If so, think of using things like German nutcrackers or angels for your invitations.

The Event - Since your party will be a large one, consider holding it at an event center in your area. You may be surprised at how affordable that is. In addition, the event center may already be decorated for the Christmas holidays, so you won't have to worry about putting up your own decorations.

• Think about renting an event center that offers activities. For example, find one that has all kinds of electronic games that your guests can play as part of the entertainment.
• For something extra fun, choose an event center that features things like bowling, little race cars and even miniature golf.
• You might even find an event center that will provide food for your Christmas party. For instance, there might be a pizza and salad bar and an ice cream machine for guests to make their own ice cream cones.
• Consider renting an event center that has music and space for dancing.

Think about having a friend or even a professional designated to take pictures throughout the time you are at your Christmas party. It will be a lot of fun to post pictures of your party on your computer so that all of the guests can be reminded of the good time they had at your special event.
