Planning a Christmas Party? Here's everything you need to know first

Most awaited holiday season is knocking the door. Christmas parties are about to begin. If you are thinking of hosting a Christmas party, the post is for you. As hosting a Christmas party is a completely different ball game, let's check out the recommendations of the most popular Petone restaurants to ease the process. 

Host a buffet dinner

Buffet is meant for large gatherings. It makes things easier for you and it also allows your guests to pick and choose as per their tastes and preferences. Serving foods and refills leave you exhausted if your guest size is over four. Thus booking a restaurant and having a buffet dinner there is prettier for you.

Send the invites out in advance

Whenever there is party, there will be friends and relatives to exponentiate your joy. So when you set the time of your Christmas party, you should move on to your guest list and invitations. Letting them know about your plan prior to a minimum of two to three weeks ensures maximum presence.

Pick a cuisine

You have a date, you have a list of invitees. Now comes the most painstaking part of party-hosting --curating the menu. As you know the city of Lower Hutt is famous for food, you must be quite serious while preparing the menu for your Xmas holiday party. Yes, seafood can be the most demanding option and it must be on everyone's plate. Further, you can choose Indian, Italian, Chinese and more. Do not overlook starter and desserts.

In case you are hosting the dinner for the first time, you can discuss with your close friends and neighbors. You can make the party extravagant, if money is not a constraint for you. 

Do a simple decoration

Once the menu gets finalized, you can go for the smaller details. When decoration comes on your way, you can make it simple. You must be familiar with the age-old saying, “only great minds can afford a simple style.”

A well decorated Christmas tree would be the cynosure. Always remember that a set of delicious food weighs far more than anything. Thus you can make the decoration so simple. Inform your restaurant manager about this while you are booking for your party. 

 

Create a Christmas playlist

Speaking of little things such as drinking and dancing is a mandate at every Christmas dinner party. Take time out to put together the perfect festive collection from ‘Last Christmas’ to ‘Jingle Bell Rock’ for the big night. You can choose the modern music to give the party extra colors.
