 10 Ways to Liven Up Your Holiday Party
It's so worth it to do it right! Checkout our perfect tips for making your holiday party more festive: Give Out Festive Party Favors Make sure your flair for the festivities stands out this holiday season. Put your own spin on timeless traditions with personalized gift bags or keep the jolly times flowing with these stemless wine glasses. There’s no limit to how creative you can get with your party favors, but if you don’t have time to work your magic this year, there are so many more amazing creations waiting for you over at Etsy. Make A Menu of Signature Holiday Cocktails Spirits beget spirit, and that’s even more true for the holiday kind. Be the merry mixologist at this year’s bash with some seriously flavorful and refreshing cocktails, like jingle juice, or a Santa Clausmopolitan. Yup, that’s a thing -- a very delicious thing. Bust Out the Christmas Karaoke Once the cocktails have been flowing for a while, your guests might not be able to contain their merrymaking much longer. Why not line up a few of your favorite holiday instrumentals and sing your hearts out? Most songs even feature videos on Youtube with the lyrics, like this Mariah Carey classic. Send Out Themed Invitations Nothing tends to get partygoers more psyched than themed invitations. There’s no shortage of themes to go with, from an ugly sweater soiree to something a little bit sweeter, you’re bound to find something that gets your guests in the mood. Go All Out with the Decorations The song tells you to “deck the halls,” but this year, really, really deck them. You can even personalize your ornaments to give your party that added custom touch. Get Creative with the Treats From stencils to molds and everything in between, there’s no limit to how creative you can get with your yule tide confections. Satisfy every sweet tooth in the house while serving up holiday cheer at the same time. Play White Elephant or Secret Santa Whether you’re trying to save a little cash this year, or you just want to spice up your gift-giving, White Elephant or secret santa are both great ways to kick things off. And best of all, gone are the days of writing everybody’s name on a paper and picking one out of a hat. Site’s like Elfster take all the hassle out of the process, letting you draw guests’ names online. And you can even set drawing restrictions, just to make sure mom and dad don’t get each other again this year. Incorporate Themed Dress or Costumes Have you ever served Rudolph a cup of eggnog? Have you ever square danced with a snowman? Why not this year? Encourage your guests to don their finest holiday garb. If you really want to up the ante, hold a costume contest. You’ll be surprised how many reindeer stop by to visit. Have A Fire Christmas Playlist Keep the music coming this year with a music service like Spotify. Whether you’re looking for timeless Christmas carols to something a little more modern, you’re bound to find the perfect mix for your get-together. Give Back When it comes down to it, we love the holidays because it gives us the warm fuzzies on the inside. Nothing makes you feel warmer or fuzzier than the knowledge that you gave back at the end of another year. Make it count this year by making a donation to groups like Make-A-Wish, St. Jude’s Childrens Hospital, or the American Cancer Society. There are really no wrong choices here, as long as you’re doing your part to spread a little cheer far and near. If you want to plan the perfect holiday soiree, we'd love to help! Contact us today!

 So you’ve said “yes to the dress” and, after some intense shopping sessions, your wedding day ensemble is complete. Time to step back and catch your breath. Just not for too long. There’s still plenty of beautifying to do. It might be the prettiest garment you ever wear, but that dress you spent hours picking out is far from the be-all end-all when it comes to your wedding wardrobe. Here are just a few things to think about to make sure your budget stays looking good, too. Engagement Photos Let’s be real. Nobody likes an outfit repeater. Who wants to be wearing the same thing in your engagement photos as in your actual wedding? Whether it’s a new outfit, a new hairstyle, or the whole beauty bonanza, you’re going to want to set a slice of your budget aside for what should be your most memorable photo shoot ever.  Wedding Party We’re not talking about the kind of party that will go down the aisle with you on your big day. We’re talking dancing, cocktails, and, if you’re doing it right, a whole lot of karaoke. Whether it’s an engagement party, a bachelorette party, or a “I still can’t believe I’m getting married in six months” party, bomb budgeting skills will take you far. Remember to take into account all you’ll need for the party. What will you wear? What will you be serving? Will you have a DJ or your friend’s son’s band that you sometimes hear practicing next door? Answering questions like this are essential to setting real expectations for yourself and making sure you don’t go over-budget too soon.  Bridal Shower We would lump this in with parties above, but keep in mind sometimes brides have more than one bridal shower. And if that’s you, do you. You deserve it. But keep in mind the costs associated with every wardrobe choice and hairdo.  The Wedding Weekend Your wedding weekend is a lot more than a ceremony and a fancy dinner. It's a celebration of true love with all of your closest friends. So you better look damn good for it, right? How expansive you want to make your weekend wardrobe is entirely up to you. Just remember you’ll have:
 Finally, Glamorize and Accessorize.
We’ve been talking mostly clothes, but behind every great outfit there’s an armada of accessories. From game-changing makeup to refreshing mani-pedis for every occasion, do style your way. |
