Planning on throwing a holiday party
Will you be holding a "Christmas party"
.Once you have your holiday theme under way, think about coordinating invitations
Send them out at least three weeks ahead of time--this allows your guests the time to pencil your party into their busy holiday schedule. Don't forget to include the RSVP

Silly invites can be a great way prepare your guests for the fun festivities and not take the holidays too seriously! |
Formal invitations are great for corporate parties, galas, and even winter/Christmas weddings. |
Simple yet festive invitations with snowmen or Santa are always a traditional pick. |
If you aren't one to cater to a specific holiday, you can purchase cards that are more generic to celebrate the Winter season as a whole. |
Whether it's your family, your cat, or your husband tangled in Christmas lights that one year, a photo invitation is fun and personal. |
Know ahead of time what type of food preparation
Choose a menu theme. This will eliminate holiday stress

Brunch is a different, but awesome way to celebrate Christmas. Plan it for earlier in the day, between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm. |
Cocktail parties are fun and simple. You don't need a whole lot in terms of food, just some appetizers and some good drinks. |
A traditional dinner is full of all the turkey, stuffing, cakes, and pie you can eat. Have guests bring dishes to so you have less to cook. |
Who doesn't love dessert? Have your holiday party focused on the most favoured meal of the day. |
A menu full of appetizers can be a perfect idea for those wanting to mix and mingle and not be weighed down by a heavy meal. |
| At Home | |
 |
If you are having the celebration at home, spend the week before the party preparing the house. |
| Out and About | |

Though you may not have time to set up your space long before the party, have your party preparations
