How to Throw the BEST Holiday Party!

 

Feeling a little anxious about throwing a holiday party? I get that! But today I’ve got some of the best tips to help you out. This year’s holiday party will be the BEST ever if you follow these tips!

A party isn’t complete without party favors, and epic invites. See Minted and Beau Coup and Swoozies.

 

 

Require something at the door for your guests to get in. {Not an ID!} We’re talking an ugly Christmas sweater, or a few cans of food for the local food bank. Might as well do a little good while you’re having a good time, right? Either of these will make your party more memorable.

Don’t go overboard on the decorations. As long as you have a decorated Christmas tree, some lights and festive food, that is all you need. See Cutefetti for some festive ideas, like these Solo cup Santas.

Be sure to play some festive music! My favorite holiday station this year is Amazon’s Modern Christmas Favorites. You can simply ask Alexa to play it for you if you have an Echo Dot!

 

Set up a holiday photo both with some fun props so your friends & family can take some memorable holiday selfies!

 

Did you know there is an official site for the rules of a White Elephant gift exchange? Oh yes, and you should definitely take a look at it! Have your guests bring a White Elephant, and set an inexpensive $5 limit on cost. Now follow the rules for an amazing gift exchange!
