1) Decoration Items
Decorations are a key part of any Christmas party. Most people will want to have some sort of tree or bush in their living room decorated with lights and tinsel, as well as paper snowflakes hanging from the ceiling. In addition, you should also have candles on hand for an added cozy ambiance during the night's festivities.
2) Beverages
Christmas Eve parties are typically filled with family and friends. That means there will be lots of people to serve drinks to! Whether you plan on having an open bar or just beer, wine, and soft drinks available for purchase, you must have enough beverages to go around. Water should also be readily accessible if anyone gets too much into the holiday spirit during the party.
3) Appetizers Or Snacks
A successful party always has snacks and appetizers on hand. If you plan to serve a big meal during the holiday, then make sure plenty of finger foods are available for your guests as they mingle and wait for dinner time. Appetizers such as crackers with cheese, shrimp cocktails, and some delicious roasted pecans can also be great compliments to an open bar! Don't forget about dessert either - cookies, cakes, pies. They should all be readily accessible throughout the night to satisfy everyone after their Christmas Eve feast!
4) Suitable Music
Music is a must-have at any successful party. Whether you plan on hosting a dance floor or just your typical "sit around and chat" evening, it's important to have music playing in the background as people mingle with one another during the festivities. Christmas Eve parties are typically filled with family and friends who enjoy classic holiday tunes such as – Jingle Bells, Let It Snow, All I Want for Christmas Is You, Silent Night, etc. Holiday stations can also be found all over radio stations that will play ideal songs throughout the night!
5) Comfortable Seating
Remember, a successful party is all about making your guests comfortable. Make sure there are plenty of sitting areas around the house, especially if you plan to host a dance floor as well! A couch or two facing an open fireplace would make for excellent seating during the chilly holiday season.
6) Clean Restroom Facilities
It's important for guests to feel comfortable during the party. That includes making sure that they have access to clean restrooms throughout the night! If you don't already have a restroom on your property, make plans with a neighbor who does or hire someone outside of the home to provide services as needed. Also, please make sure there are plenty of toilet paper rolls available and soap in each sink so that everyone can stay refreshed after their time spent mingling at Christmas Eve parties!
Christmas Eve parties can be filled with lots of fun if you plan and have the essentials on hand! So be sure to include all of these items in your party planning as you get ready for the holiday season.
