There’s nothing like an LA party. The music, people, and vibes are authentic and fun. As the season flies by, remember to host a festive gathering. But if time runs low, we’ve got your back! Follow this quick guide to organizing a last-minute holiday party.
Choose the Date and Venue
You can’t host a party without a date and venue, so determining the time and place is the first thing you should do. Many people book banquet halls in advance, so think of alternative venues for your party. Conference centers, sports clubs, and art galleries are unique places to host events. For a backup plan, choose your home for the venue.
Spread the Word
Inform your guests ASAP about your party plans. Since it’s a last-minute event, don’t fret about low attendance. It will be a fun party, regardless of the number of attendees! Use E-invites or text messages to send party information. Also, remember to add an “RSVP” option to estimate the number of guests.
Select an Easy Menu
Selecting an easy menu is an important step for organizing a last-minute holiday party. If you’re not an at-home chef, catering is the way to go. But please keep in mind that some companies charge fees for last-minute events. For a simple plan, opt for finger foods, like spinach puffs, pigs in a blanket, and coconut shrimp. You can find pre-made appetizers in the grocery store; all you have to do is pop the food selections in the oven and place them on a serving platter!
Plan Fun Activities
What’s a holiday party without activities? Besides mingling, let people participate in enjoyable activities. Have a karaoke contest or challenge guests to charades. There are tons of entertainment choices. For inspiration, check out these ideas:
- Holiday bingo
