The holidays can be very competitive when it comes to finding that perfect venue for your personal or corporate holiday party. By now, many of the most popular venues have been booked up six months to a year in advance for the two busiest weekends of the year, and the chance of getting the venue you want could be challenging.
If you haven’t booked your venue yet, be sure to consider venues that aren’t as popular, but still offer a great experience. There are lots of hidden gems out there. Moreover, be flexible with your needs, especially if you are on a limited budget.
Speaking of limited budget, many organizations over the last year have been cutting back on their holiday parties due to the economy. Social Betty believes there is always a way to celebrate even if you have to cut back and we have got some great tips for you to still maximize your fun without breaking the bank:
• Use fewer decorations and stick with the basics.
• Choose buffet style instead of a sit down dinner.
• Offer a cash bar or hosted beer/wine instead of open bar. If you have some extra money in your budget put it toward a drink ticket or two per guest.
• Instead of door prizes, offer up opportunity drawings.
Regardless of your budget or location, the important thing to remember when planning a holiday party is to be sure your attendees have a great time. Providing the right atmosphere can make for a perfect event, but having the right people and energy will make your event even more special.
