So you want to organize a Christmas party, eh? By now, I hope you have decided on where, when, and what time you wish you to have this Shindig. Now let's organize this Christmas party!...

 

He's making a list,
checking it twice,
gonna find out who's naughty or nice.

1. The first think you must do when organizing a Christmas party is to make a list of friends and check it twice, find out whose been naughty or nice. You get the point. Once you have created a guest list of all your friends, create a flyer for your event. You don't have to create anything extravagant, just a simple flyer that tells people the where, when, what, and How's of the party. Once that is done, upload your flyer to Eventorb.com. Eventorb.com provides many features to help you send evites to all your friends; you can even import your friends from your webmail address books into EventOrb. However, if you prefer to send invitations the old fashion way, just head out to the store and buy some Christmas themed invitations and send them out ASAP, so as to give people enough time to get ready for the festivities.

 Oh, bring us a figgy pudding;
Oh, bring us a figgy pudding;
Oh, bring us a figgy pudding and a cup of good cheer

2. I'm not too sure what a figgy pudding is, but it sounds delicious! You can't have a party without food, can you? You'll need lots of food for this Shindig. So get a head start on your holiday menu. Do you wish to have entrees at this party? No, an entree is not the word "enter" with a reverse "r" and an extra "e". If this word scares you, then perhaps you just need to have finger foods at your party. Click Here for some fabulous finger foods. Remember to have enough food for everyone to consume. If you are more interested in going all out for your party, then perhaps you should get familiar with the term "entree" or even the term "caterer".

Have a holly, jolly Christmas;
It's the best time of the year I don't know if there'll be snow,
but have a cup of cheer.

3. A cup of good cheer. Every once in awhile, we all need a cup of good cheer to get us into the holiday spirit. My suggestion is to buy a variety of drinks(non alcoholic and alcoholic) for your party. Remember your pregnant friend? Remember her? She can't have any alcoholic beverages so please provide some juice for her. Plan to have all your drinks up on a bar or a makeshift bar. Remember to provide some cups, napkins, glasses, ice, tongs et cetra.

Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

4. Time to deck your home with boughs of holly or maybe a simple wreath or two, some Christmas ornaments, a few Christmas lights... and don't forget to have a Christmas tree! Do me a favor, go easy on the decorations!

On the 12th day of Christmas,
my true love gave to me

5. Ah, the art of giving. Isn't it enough that you planned this Shindig? Now you have to give your guests favors? If you're like me and you think that your party is enough of a "gift" for your guests, then by all means, don't give out any favors. But if you wish to go out with a bang, then do give out favors. There are so many affordable(and expensive) options out there. My favorite affordable option? Get yourself some CD-Rs and burn a couple of Christmas songs onto them. Have Yourself a Great Party!
