The holiday season is fast approaching and the one thing on everyone’s mind is how to plan a holiday party. For the more hands-on and enthusiastic people out there, planning a holiday party may seem like a great idea, especially when it comes to gathering your friends and family together all under one roof.

But the question remains – how do you plan such a party and make it successful at the same time? Well, if you’re looking for ideas on throwing a successful party or you’re just plain lost as to how to go about planning it, then this post is perfect for you!

Ideas for Invitations

The first thing you need to do when planning a holiday party is to invite people to attend! Holiday Party Invitations can be a pesky business to deal with, especially with so many ideas available on the internet to choose from.

Throwing a great party means designing an invitation card that is unique and aesthetic, all at the same time. This could be a real hassle especially if you’re not sure what you’re looking for.

The way around this problem is by first settling on a theme for your party before choosing your invitation design. Setting the tone will help both you and your guests plan for whether it’s a more formal or laid back occasions.

Also, use online invitations for both ease and convenience. In this age of technology, e-invites will save you money from the printing and mailing cost.

Décor Ideas

After settling on a theme, it’s time to start with your decorations. Most holiday party décor ideas tend to combine Christmas themes with a hint of modern design. This could range from silver baubles hanging from the ceilings to a candle light dinner party with hints of incandescent accents placed around props like the Christmas tree.

The best way to go about with this is to start with a theme in mind before heading to a store like Target or Wal-Mart and getting your supplies. After which, you can customize them to fit your party theme and watch as the decorations unfold before your eyes.

Seasonal Drinks

The biggest thing to know about how to plan a holiday party is that food and drinks are the centerpieces of the night. Holiday themed party drinks are a definite must. The best drinks for these holiday parties have to match the décor and put a spin to holiday classics like eggnog.

You could either hire a mixologist to your party or simply do a quick search online for recipes and customize them to fit your party.

Christmas-Themed Games

No party is complete without games. Once your invitations have been mailed, your food and drink menu planned, and decorations prepared, it’s time to think about entertainment.

With festivities fast approaching, the ideal holiday party games should include themes that coincide with the holiday season. The games would also have to involve all if not most of your guests to make sure no one gets left out. That may leave you with very limited options on the table.

However, classic games like pool, foosball and drinking games are your best friends during such parties because of how versatile they can be. Easily customize each game with a Christmas theme and you’re on your way to providing some quality entertainment for your guests.

Abe booked my last two birthdays efficiently and on budget. Reached out to me mid-week this week as I was scrambling for a Saturday reservation, and handled everything within a couple of hours. Great communication, access to best bars, and follow-ups. I highly recommend this service (signed up for yelp to do so) and look forward to booking my next party, hopefully sooner than a year from now.

Birthday Bottle Service is amazing! I found them online and it did sound too good to be true but the ratings were excellent. Abe and Cristina were very quick to respond to my email request and very accommodating. I was doing a joint birthday party with a friend and we ended up selecting the Gansevoort Park Avenue with the buy one get one free deal. Once we got there, we only had to wait for several minutes before our party was escorted to our area of the bar. We ended up having more people than intended show up (about 22 showed up when we planned on 15) but no one had a problem at all getting in when using our names at the door, even the people who arrived late. The venue itself is great! It has a bunch rooms with different music styles as well as an outdoor pool area. Overall, this is a great service and I will definitely be using this again! Thanks Abe and Cristina!

Birthday Bottle Service was a success! I wanted to plan a special birthday celebration for my boyfriend. I simply Googled "birthdays in NYC" and Birthday Bottle Service came right up. I contacted them and Christina responded within minutes. I was able to choose my venue from an extensive list. We chose Gansevoort. As the guest list grew, we asked Christina for 2 tables next to each other at the Gansevoort. Both had the buy 1 + get 1 free bottle special. Christina and Abe confirmed our party the day of and even provided us with a Customer Service number - God forbid anything went wrong the night of the party. Luckily we did not need to use it! We arrived in the VIP line and was seated right away. In fact they moved a party, cleaned up the tables, so they could accommodate us all with 2 adjoining tables within minutes. 4 bottles came out right away and our waitress was great and helpful when we requested different mixers. Everyone had a wonderful time! I will definitely contact Christina and Abe again for another event. I'm excited to try different venues with the help of their amazing party planning!!

I made the mistake of asking my husband what he wanted to do for his birthday. I expected him to say he wanted to go for a nice dinner but instead he busted out "I wanna get a table somewhere and pay for all my friends to drink." Well shit! (only kidding!) We don't go to many clubs these days so I didn't know where we should go and I really didn't want to pay for 10 other people to get drunk. Thanks to to my mastery of the google machine I typed in "NYC birthday" and Birthday Bottle Service popped right up! I clicked on their website and was immediately awestruck- FREE BOTTLES- what?!? This can't be true. Nothing in NYC is free, ESPECIALLY alcohol. I emailed them and quickly got a response from Abe & Cristina. They set up my party at the Gansevoort and reconfirmed the day of. My table was waiting for me when we got there and I really did get 2 bottles of booze for the price of one bottle of booze (+ $50 tip for the free bottle) My husband got to celebrate and spoil all his friends and we looked like ballers, so it was a win-win-win. I highly recommend booking a party through Birthday Bottle Service and I will heed my own advice and use them again.
