Planning the Perfect Holiday Party
As the holiday season approaches, it's time to start thinking about creating memorable and joyful moments with your loved ones. At Westhouse Events, we believe that planning the perfect holiday events for your friends and family can be an enjoyable and stress-free experience. That's why we've put together this list to share some tips and ideas to help you make this holiday season truly special.
1. Set the Date and Theme: Begin by selecting a date that works for everyone. Once you have your date in mind, think about the theme of your event. Whether it's a Halloween party, traditional Christmas gathering, a New Year's Eve bash, or something entirely unique, having a theme can guide your planning.
2. Choose the Right Venue: Selecting the perfect venue is crucial. Whether it's your own home, a cozy cabin, or a dedicated event space, make sure it can comfortably accommodate your guests and suits your chosen theme.
Westhouse is the perfect venue for your intimate holiday celebrations - we’ve hosted many Friendsgivings and holiday gatherings!
3. Plan the Menu: Food is often a highlight of holiday events. Consider your guests' dietary preferences and any allergies when creating the menu. If you're not a chef, don't hesitate to hire a caterer or take advantage of local restaurants that offer holiday catering.
4. Decor and Ambiance: Transform your chosen venue with festive decorations. Think about lighting, table settings, and a color scheme that matches your theme. DIY decorations can be a fun and cost-effective way to add a personal touch.
5. Activities and Entertainment: Plan activities that suit the age group and interests of your guests. From classic board games to holiday movie marathons or a hired Santa Claus for the kids, there are endless ways to keep everyone entertained.
We have a wonderful Santa for hire as well!
6. Invitations and RSVPs: Send out invitations well in advance and request RSVPs to help with planning. Digital invitations are eco-friendly and convenient, but you can also go the traditional route with paper invites.
7. Create a Timeline: A well-organized timeline ensures that everything runs smoothly on the day of the event. Include when to set up, start cooking, and when various activities or games will take place.
8. Capture the Moments: Hire a professional photographer or ask a friend to be the designated photographer. You'll want to capture these special moments to cherish for years to come.
9. Give Back: Remember that the holidays are a time for giving. Consider incorporating a charitable aspect into your event, such as a donation drive for a local charity.
10. Relax and Enjoy: Last but not least, remember to relax and enjoy the event yourself. After all your hard work, you deserve to have a great time with your friends and family.
