5 brilliant ideas for your perfectly fun Christmas Party
The Christmas season is a time for love, celebration, and the gathering of loved ones. It’s also a time when many people spend substantial chunks of their income. From small to large, holiday expenses add up quickly however, one thing that does not have to cost a lot of money is hosting an entertaining Christmas party. Of course, you will have to consider some fun activities, but the best activity is to spend time together. Collaborate with your guests to create a joyful holiday gathering. You will have a celebration that is fun, diverse, and inexpensive. While planning a successful Christmas party, consider these ideas to save you a lot of costs.
- Eliminate wasted time and food
Just because you are throwing a party doesn’t mean you should spend the whole day in the kitchen. Surely, food usually plays a large and amazing part of any Christmas get-together and can cost the host quite a bit of money. But, one way to relieve much of that burden, as well as diversify the meal, is to request that each person bring a dish. Ask that the contribution is something special that they most love to make and share with others.
This ensures that all guests have a delicious meal, the cost is minimal for each person, and your guests have the chance to experience a variety of foods made with love and attention.
- Consider your drink menu
In addition to the food, drinks are a necessary part of a lively party. If your menu begins to fill quickly or there are persons who prefer not to cook, ask for drinks instead of food. Just as with food, suggest they bring drinks which they particularly enjoy or ingredients to make chapman drinks or lemonades. With the contributions of the party guests, the food and the drink are no problem for a large gathering.
- Plan your gift exchange
As much as they love food and drink, people love giving and receiving gifts during the holiday season. When you have a lot of family and friends, and you still want to make sure no one is left out, have a Christmas gift exchange. This is a simple and fun way to exchange gifts with a large crowd without anyone having to break the bank. Each person brings one or two gifts that cost no more than an agreed price. They should bring the gift wrapped and unintended for any specific person.
- Bring out the board games
A Christmas party does not have to be all about chitchats and sipping wine. Bring out the board games and let people choose what they want to play. They could break into smaller groups to enjoy the games. Make sure you have something to offer for kids. Monopoly, Scramble, Chess are great options to keep the attention of older people.
- Set up a photo booth
You cannot leave out this part in any celebration these days. Not only do you capture tons of precious moments, it is also a great way to boost festive mood and make everyone laugh. Lovely photos of the guests and the host would also be the perfect mementos from the Christmas party. Take photos of everyone with their chosen props, this is a great way to save the memories from the day.
Enjoy this season to the fullest and start a new year feeling positive, happy and ready to accomplish new goals.
