Christmas
Party Time IT FEELS like summer is barely over and the kids have only just gone back to school, but the countdown to Christmas 2008 has already begun. You can never start planning too early, and this is especially true when it comes to organising your a Christmas party or festive night out. Whether you’re planning a huge family reunion, an intimate gathering of close family and friends or a Christmas celebration with colleagues, it’s best to start as soon as possible, as all the good venues tend to get booked up early. First of all, have a think about what kind of event you’re planning - know your audience and ensure that the party is appropriate to the people attending. Your idea of a great night out might be a wild night of clubbing, but, if you’re meant to be catering for Great Aunt Maud, then something a little quieter might be a better idea. Next, do your research. Check out as many potential venues as you can and, where possible, visit them in person to get a feel for the atmosphere and the service. If you’re wanting food to be provided, then make sure
you do a taste test so you know the food is up to scratch and to your taste. Discuss party arrangements with the venue of your choice and ensure it’s clear what’s being provided. Is the venue providing food? If so, for how many people? Is there any entertainment on offer? How should the evening be paid for? These are all important details you need to get ironed out so you can make an informed choice and make the right decision about the perfect venue for you. Having established where you’re having your event, let everyone know in plenty of time where and when it’s being held, and keep the venue informed about numbers as you go along. It’s worth contacting the venue a few days before the party to confirm numbers, and to make sure that everything is on track for the evening. Finally, having organised the party in plenty of time, you can sit back, relax and look forward to an evening to remember!
