It's beginning to look a lot like..... eh. I know what you're thinking. Summer is over! Where did it go? The holidays are closing in on us faster than the Blizzard of '78! You're thinking of what kind of stuffing goes with a deep fried turkey, where did you put last year's Christmas wrapping paper, or why don't I have a date for New Year's Eve yet!?!
 
Take a deep breath. Feel better? Good. We understand the holiday season is stressfull for everyone especially when trying to coordinate a few holiday parties in between and figuring out the entertainment for holiday parties. You want your holiday party to be the event of the season if not the year and here are 4 ways to improve entertainment for holiday parties.
 

Don't Burn The Cookies

Raise your hand if you are sick of cooking holiday meals for your family and then have to worry about making a dish or 10 for your holiday party. That's a lot of work. Why not hire a caterer for your holiday party? A caterer will work with you at your budget to provide scrumptious dishes for your guests to munch on as they socialize. These don't have to be full meals either, most caterers will provide appetizers or small tapas dishes if you request it. Leave the cooking to the pros once you set the menu. Who wants to clean up a kitchen after cooking all day anyway?

 

Setting The Theme

When it comes to entertainment for holiday parties that are also corporate events think about setting a theme. Would a Monte Carlo theme party work for New Year's Eve? Or for something festive how about Charles Dickens style Christmas Carolers as entertainment for a holiday party? Are you inviting couples with kids? Then you may want to get Santa Clause to come and listen to their wish lists. When setting the theme think about what is going to keep your guests engaged and entertained. Plus, adding a theme will add a natural flow and ambiance to the evening. 

 

Music To Your Ears

What holiday party isn't complete without music? You don't want to have someone manding an iPod play list all night. What you should have is a DJ who can read the room and adapts to the party guests. A DJ who knows just the right version of Jingle Bells to play or knows when to cue up that perfect slow song as the countdown gets closer to midnight. You're going to want a DJ who can cater to you, listen to your ideas and help develop your themes, holiday wishes, styling, or whatever else may tickle your fancy. You will also want a DJ who can provide you with insight and expertise. 

 

This holiday season take our advice to create an amazing holiday party without the stress on you as the host. You'll be ringing in the new year on the voices of your friends and family, raving about how memorable your holiday party was and no other party will ever be able to top.
