Throwing a holiday party at home doesn\u2019t have to be a nail-biting experience for you. Really, it\u2019s all about those little decorative hints, a stress-free menu planning process, the natural flow of your home\u2019s rooms and most importantly\u2014those precious memories. <\/span><\/p>\n

The earlier you pinpoint the details, the better. This helpful guide will help you plan a party you can sit down long enough to enjoy with your friends and family, remembering for years to come. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Art of Arranging a Room <\/b><\/h3>\n

Take a good look at your home and get the general feng shui of the room. What kind of space do you have to work with? Maybe you could easily fit a buffet along the wall of your living room. Or a colorful spread of dips and small bites across your dining room table or kitchen island. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Custom<\/p>\n

Perhaps you prefer a cocktail party setup. Arrange a table near the entrance of your home so the first thing guests see upon walking through the door is champagne on ice and a tray of sparkling drinks waiting to be enjoyed. <\/span><\/p>\n

Festive D\u00e9cor<\/b><\/h3>\n

Exceptional flare is the icing to holiday parties. All it takes is a few simple additions like centerpieces, plants and floral arrangements, ice carvings and mood lighting. <\/span><\/p>\n

Tenting your patio is a good way to add an extension to your house, and it encourages guests to spread out. \u00a0Take a look at this Martini Lounge we created using a modern bar, lounge furniture and a fabulous chandelier to complete the look.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jolly Entertainment<\/b><\/h3>\n

Some of the most valuable entertainers are those who truly know how to bring out the holiday spirit in party-goers. We partner with DJs, photo booths, bands of all types and sizes, fortune tellers and even a casino vendor who provides blackjack tables. And of course, we can\u2019t forget Santa for the children.<\/span><\/p>\n

Delicious Eatery<\/b><\/h3>\n

Themed buffet displays with fresh holiday greens make for some scrumptious holidays. Consider arranging a bruschetta station to bring out those greens and reds and provide your guests with a crisp, refreshing snack. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Holiday<\/p>\n

For home holiday parties, we offer plenty of <\/span>take-away menu options<\/span><\/a> or full-service catering. We want to help with whatever you need to be a relaxed host and fully enjoy your guests and the holiday season, whether that means all the details or just a few menu items or desserts.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of our favorite holiday spreads includes mini Bundt cakes and cranberry whoopie pies. Dessert platters add a sweet touch to any table.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s always a good idea to place your holiday party order two to three months ahead of time, which is when people are starting to reserve their dates. Especially if you\u2019re looking to have your party on a specific date, earlier is always better! <\/span><\/p>\n
