Posted by SwordsSwords on Dec 15th 2019
Gifts are wrapped and stockings are full. The Christmas season has begun in full swing. There are no holds barred over merriment and seasonal joy. But there is just one thing left. You still have to plan and throw a perfect Christmas extravaganza. Now, it may seem like party preparations are a monumental task just before the event. But fear not, there are just a few steps you can take for a memorable Christmas Bash. Enlist the help of your family and friends for perfect execution. Organize your resources and gather your supplies before buying anything. It is recommended that you go with a quirky and unique theme to make sure that interests are piqued and the guests have a lot to look forward to.
Decide on a Theme
The first step of planning that may make or break a Christmas party is the theme. Deciding a theme for Halloween is easier as there are many pop cultural references that may be appropriate. On the other hand, themes for Thanksgiving parties are more conservative and limited. Christmas bash themes can either be too traditional or completely quirky. It is essential that you keep the potential guests in mind as well as their preferences. You can play it safe by adopting a Rudolph or a Santa theme. Or you can think creatively with themes like Frozen, Big Hero 6, or Die Hard. But overused themes like Winter Wonderland are not recommended.Guestlist and Invitations
The next step is making the guest list and the invitations. The invitations need little details like the venue, timings, and the dress code. People put a lot of stock in the quality and originality of these invitations, so get creative. Take guidance from the internet and the suggestions of your artistic friends. You can never go wrong with beautiful calligraphy and wax seals. It is recommended to put the instruction for time and dress code clearly so there is no misunderstanding. Be direct and invite only the people on the guest list. Include RSVPs.Party Supplies
