How to organize a fun Christmas party with friends

Christmas is here and it's time to enjoy the festive season with friends and family. Here are some tips on how to throw a fun Christmas party .

You may be short on time, but there's no reason you can't throw a big party before the year ends. Whether you want to celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, or New Year's Eve, throwing a Friendsmas party is your best bet.

Whether you're throwing a big neighborhood party or a modern get-together with friends, you want it to be memorable for years to come. The steps below can help.

Step 1: Organize

Like any other party, planning Friendsmas is important to ensure the event is a success. How many people will you invite, where will you stay, what will you eat, what time will the party start and end? These are all very important details and can be a bit overwhelming if you are not prepared, so don't do this yourself. Ask a friend to help you organize the party, it will help take some of the burden off of you.

 

Step 2: Choose a location

The perfect venue is one of the most important elements of the party. You should choose a venue that is spacious and luxurious enough to impress all the guests you plan to host. Venue rentals can be quite expensive and are only for a few hours. Depending on the size of the party and your personal budget, contact a few local hotels to inquire about booking rooms. If your house is large enough or has a garden, hosting a Christmas party at home is the best way to be cozy, save money and save time.

Step 3: Make a guest list

List the guests you plan to invite and who will be going. You can always send a mass message to the group and then open up voting for them to attend or not. Determining the number of guests is important for organizing and optimizing your budget, avoiding waste.

Step 4: Plan the dessert and main course menu

This is probably the most important step in hosting Friendsmas. A pot luck party can save you a lot of money on the party, but as the host, you will need to cook the majority of the food, whether you make it yourself or not! If you are hosting the party in a high-end hotel room, ask if you can bring in outside food and how much it will cost. Even the menu provided by the hotel is negotiable. Keep that in mind.

Step 5: Make a drink list

What would a party be without alcoholic drinks? This is probably the best part of the whole party. You can mix the drinks yourself or ask your friends to help. Adding cocktails to your Christmas party is a great idea. Make sure you also bring juices, mixed drinks and soft drinks to the party.

 

Step 6: Organize a gift-giving game with Santa Claus

What's a Friendsmas party without some gifts to give? Make sure you set a reasonable spending limit for the games you plan to host so no one leaves feeling cheated or going home empty-handed. Let people pick a random number to determine the order in which they choose their gifts and take turns picking them out.

Step 7: Christmas Playlist

Music helps to make the party more exciting and attractive. Prepare a playlist of some fun Christmas songs to get everyone in the festive atmosphere. You can refer to Spotify or Zing Mp3. Remember to turn up the volume when everyone is ready to dance. Remember to record a video as a souvenir and you can tease everyone later.
