Organising a Christmas Party doesn't have to be stressful. Just follow these simple steps to ensure your event goes off smoothly and in style.

STEP 1

Set a budget for your party. This could be for the entire event or per head. Break the budget down into sections such as food, drinks, decorations and goodie bags. This will ensure you keep track of your spendings. Christmas Notes is the perfect tool to help you organise. Always carry it with you so you can jot down any moments of inspiration or notes on the way.

STEP 2

Pick the date & venue and decide on a theme. Be realistic and save yourself stress where you can. If you know holding the party at home will cause too much stress, choose a venue that will take care of all the details. If your budget doesn't allow for a venue, keep the theme simple and decorations minimal but stylish. 

STEP 3

Finalise your guest list and request RSVP’s for at least a week before the party. This way you know how many people will be attending so you can plan effectively.

STEP 4

Break the planning down. Brainstorm and prioritise all the tasks you need to do. The Day Planner Pad or Weekly Planner Pad is perfect for this, depending on how many tasks you have ahead of you.

STEP 5

Recruit friends/family to help. Delegating some tasks will help share the load and increase the festive spirit!

STEP 6

Our top tip: send guests home with a gorgeous Goodie Bag. Fill them with sweet treats, baked goodies or fun stationery such as a couple of Heart Paper Clips in each bag. They'll love the thoughtful gift and remember your party for years to come.
