Do you do a lot of entertaining during the holiday season? I love entertaining all year long and I’m really crazy about the details. I like lists and plans and I want everything written down. If you’re like that too, grab this party planning printable for your holiday entertaining and year-round parties and then check out my party planning tips!
1. Set a date and time and plan a theme. The theme might be as basic as a color scheme or as elaborate as a Grinch-style Christmas party but planning those details in advance will save time and energy as the date draws near.
2. Set a guest list. The holiday season is busy! As soon as a date is set, invite guests and give them as much notice as possible. Written invitations are fun but sending an online evite is simple and easy … and the evite site is full of great party tips and recipes to get your night started.
3. Plan the menu. When planning a party, after figuring out a date and the guest list, food takes top priority.
Be sure you have plenty of food for the number of guests and serve a fun variety. I love trying new recipes for parties but I like to stick to ingredients that I know and love like KING’S HAWAIIAN® Sweet Rolls. They’re the perfect ingredient for party recipes.
I recently shopped at Walmart for all the staples I’ll need to entertain this holiday season and I grabbed KING’S HAWAIIAN® Sweet Rolls for a fun appetizer I’ll be serving at an upcoming family Christmas party. I’ll be sharing it here soon so you can add it to your entertaining and recipe pinterest boards {wink}.
It’s easy and delicious which is always a win-win when entertaining. After all, you want to enjoy your own party which means food plans shouldn’t stress you out.
4. Write everything down. Use this party planning printable for your next bash so you’ll have everything you need in one place and there’ll be no last minute guesswork trying to figure out where you keep that recipe you wanted to try!
5. Have fun! Enjoy friends and family this holiday season. In the end, it doesn’t matter what you serve or how fabulous your table looks … the relationships are what matter the most and every party is about creating memories.
What are your great tips for party planning?
